Chana Schleger Family Genealogical Sources

The family of Chana Schleger and
Rabbi Moses Rokeach

Chana Schleger was the 3/4 sister (same father, Avrum Michel; mothers Rochel & Toba Yecht were sisters)
of my maternal grandmother, Rebecca (Brucha) Schleger Nelson Thorner.
The parents of both Rochel and Toba were Isaac Yecht & Anyeh Resnick

NOTE: The Schleger family took the name Nelson in the US

"One of Rochel's daughters, Chana (Anna), was married to the Rabbi Moshe Rokeach and they have an extensive family in the New York area."
