Eight generations · this research's tree

The family tree

From Ludza to Entre Ríos. Dates preceded by “c.” are approximate, and the top three generations, drawn with a dotted line, still have no document to support them. There are other versions of this tree: the one the documents alone support, Chaim Freedman's, FamilySearch's and the oral tradition's.

The tree as a diagram

  • Documented
  • Proposed, unverified
  • Contradicted by a document
  • Direct line to Entre Ríos
  • = Marriage

The colour bar on each box shows which stage of the journey that person lived in. Selecting a box opens a short summary without leaving this page. Boxes with a striped pattern are in this version only because of a filiation a document contradicts.

The same tree, as a list

Each indent is one more generation. Names in capitals are the direct line from Ludza to Entre Ríos, those preceded by = are marriages, and the colour bar shows which stage of the journey each person lived in. Under each woman who brings her own ancestry there is a panel that opens it. What a document contradicts is shown with a striped pattern.
