Chaim Freedman, February 2020
The Komisaruk family report that replaces Eliyahu's Branches. It goes up through the women like FamilySearch's tree, calls Khana's father Berel, and puts in Felix's branch details the documents contradict: it gives him children named Moshe and Katya, leaves out Alejandro and makes Aida the daughter of an Avraham.
It is Freedman’s fullest version on the Komisaruks: 236 pages, with notes saying where each fact comes from, and Lithuanian and Ukrainian records the 1997 book did not have. For the Komisaruks themselves it is the best source there is.
For the two women through whom this family would enter the other branches, however, it repeats the earlier version, because it did not yet have the full patronymics of the 1858 census. And Felix’s branch reached it, almost certainly, through the oral tradition of other branches: it gives Felix children no document names, leaves out Alejandro and makes Aida the daughter of an Avraham of whom there is no trace. Aida is also given as dying in 1990; the family gives 1992.

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.
Filiation by filiation
What this version says about each person's parents, and how that stands against the documents.
| Person | Father and mother, in this version | Against the documents |
|---|---|---|
| David Zmud | father: Falk Zhmood mother: Ester | Unverified Son of Falk, as the census says, and of an Ester no document of this research names. |
| Falk Zhmood | father: not named | Unverified The report does not go above Falk. |
| Khana Reizel | father: Dov-Ber (Berel) Komisaruk mother: Esther Leib | Contradicted Daughter of Berel and Ester, sister of Shlomo-Zalmen. The 1858 census calls her a daughter of Zalka, and Freedman himself corrected it eight months later. |
| Dvorka | father: Mordechai Yovel mother: Ita | Contradicted “Deverah Yovel, born c.1830 in Plunge, daughter of Mordekhai (Marek) Yovel [1788–1831] and Ita”. The 1858 census calls her daughter of Aba, and gives her age as 20. |
| Avraham Zhmood/Smud | father: Koppel Zhmood mother: Dvorka | Unverified “Avraham Zhmood/Smud”, Koppel's son, with no details at all. He appears in no other source. |
| Aida Smud | father: Avraham Zhmood/Smud mother: not named | Contradicted Daughter of that Avraham, died 1990. She travelled in 1904 with Malke and her brothers, Felix's sons. |
| Moshe (Misha) Zhmood | father: Felix Smud mother: Malke Noel | Unverified “Moshe (Misha) Zhmood”, with no date, place or source. He may be Alejandro remembered under another name. |
| Katya Zhmood | father: Felix Smud mother: Malke Noel | Unverified “Katya Zhmood”, with no date, place or source. She may be Aida remembered under another name. |
| Alejandro Smud | father: not named mother: not named | Contradicted The report does not name him. He travelled with Malke in 1904. |

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.
