A few observations:<BR/><BR/>* Joseph Rabinowitz was born in 1855, so Bluma would be 16 years younger. So your speculation about them being half-siblings seems plausible. Feiga may or may not also be Joseph's mother. <BR/><BR/>* Rabbi Spektor's mother-in-law (wife Soro Yesersky's mother) was named Bluma. So if Chaim Rabinowitz named a daughter Bluma in 1871 (just three years before he died), he would have been honoring his deceased grandmother. <BR/><BR/>* The name Feiga also appears more than once. Our knowledge of Rabbi Spektor's brother Yakov David Spektor's family is spotty. Through JewishGen, I have some information, though it should be regarded as unconfirmed. Yakov had a daughter Chaya, who had a daughter Feiga Rachel, who maried Nachum Weissfish and had 11 children. That Feiga would have been a non-blood-related niece to Chaim's first or second wife Feiga. <BR/><BR/>* If Aharon Spektor was descended from Yakov David Spektor, it is improbable he is a son, since that would make him 85 or older in 1945. If he was a grandson, he would have been 50 or older at that time. If he was a great grandson, he could have been anywhere from 20 to 70 or so in 1945. Since the Spektor name passed on to Aharon, we know that Chaya must have had a brother, who was either the father or grandfather of Aharon.Dan Rubyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16988719959803239998noreply@blogger.com
