Yehuda Leib (Louis) Chshunstofsky + Anna Toronchik and/or Sarah Toronchik
this is my great grandfather	this is Paul Thorner's grandfather
c 1920 possibly Gedalia Thorner from Collection of Barbara Wiseman Steckler	c 1917-18 Abraham Thorner
1854, near Warsaw, Poland - 7/28/1932, Brooklyn, NY	3/15/1865 Kikol Poland - 8/7/1937 Brooklyn, NY
Gedalia son of Yehudah Leib FindAGrave	Abraham son of Yehudah Leib FindAGrave
It was not until Paul Thorner's spring 2020 autosomal DNA results matched mine that we could conclude that this was one family!
BUT DID THEY HAVE THE SAME MOTHER?
	Signed by Dr. Allen S. Russek, husband of Gedalia's son Meyer's daughter Molly
Mother: Anna Toronchik	Mother: Sarah
I don't quite believe either listing. But they may have been half brothers

 

Exciting Find! Gedalia and children 3/25/2012 Just a couple of days ago I took another look at the documents which Paul Thorner gave me, documents handed down by his father. I had assumed this document to be a listing of his family members, but then I realized it was ours! Ezriel bar Gedalie Eliezer = Isidore? David bar Gedalie Eliezer = David Tovid bar Gedalie Eliezer = Theodore? Meyer bar Gedalie Eliezer = Meyer Blume bar Vigdor = Meyer's wife Bluma, daughter of Victor Herchman Avraham bar Gedalie Eliezer = Abraham Dvora bar Gedalie Eliezer = Dora Chana Reysa bar Gedalie Eliezer = Anna

New! The Two Lous
Two other close branches of the Thorner family
