    To answer some questions:

    Rebbishe famikies do not necessarily come from the Baal Shem Tov. Various people became rebbes and started chassidishe branches of their own. However, being that children of rebbes usually marry other rebbes’ children, they are constantly marrying cousins.

    The purpose of my research is genealogical. I want there to be one place where information concerning all famous and some not-so-famous rebbes will be available for public viewing.

    in reply to: Yad Vashem- Have you been? #627237

    There is something that you should know about the Yad Vashem Museum thatis not so complimentary. Yad Vashem will tell tou that they have collected over 3 million names of those who died in the Holocaust. Many of those names are taken from lists of names of people deported or of those in concentration camps. Not all of these people actually were killed. In fact, several members of my family – who actually survived – are on Yad Vashem’s list. So, a word of caution: If when researching on yad Vashem’s website or at the museum, don’t believe everything that they tell you.
