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

Our family name Thorner

Two generations back from me my mother's paternal line took the name Thorner from a maternal line Torunczyk.
My great grandparents were: Glicke Teronchek + Gedalia Chshunstofsky/Thorner (he took her family name)
In the US there are Thorners descended from Gedalia, from his brother Abraham, from Glicke's sister Liba and several other lines.
