My page on the Rokeach family

I suspect that Rosenstein referenced my research. on Chana Shlager page and The Yechts were Chassids page I stated:
"Rabbi Rokeach, per his June 28, 1924 Manifest, was going to join his brother-in-law Hersch Katz in Portland, Maine."


Dearest Rachel, by Joseph Chandler:

...Toybe, one of the sisters of the three Filler brothers. We called her Meema Toybe and she was married at age 14 to Michel Schleger. He had been married once before to another sister of the three Filler brothers, Rachel (Rochel), who had burned to death. They lived in the town of L'Katsch. (These names are spelled phonetically and may actually have been spelled differently.) I was told that Rochel and Toybe were half sisters, but I haven't yet determined where the "half" came in..
