Greetings, I am related to the Rabbi’s first wife, Chana Schlager, who died in 1914, and who was the mother of his four daughters. She was the half- or three-quarter-sister of my grandmother, Rebecca Schlager Nelson Thorner. Only recently did I bring my attention to this corner of my mother’s mother’s family, while working on an overview webpage: http://www.btstack.com/Nelson%20Family%20Matrix.html I consulted the prior research of my cousin Joseph Chandler of Portland, Maine. http://www.btstack.com/Joe%20Chandler%20Family%20History%20Dearest%20Rachel.html Joe wrote: “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.” You can download my research on Chana Schlager & Moses Rokeach and their 4 daughters here: I would love to learn more about this part of my family and would appreciate any introductions. |
