**Evidence status: documented.** Published trees and Freedman, until 2020, made him the father of Dvorka, Felix's mother; the 1858 census calls her a daughter of Aba. In October 2020 Freedman proposed, as a theory, that he was Dvorka's maternal grandfather. The Yovel branch goes up through him to 1690.
