Reizel Rechnitz nee Gestetner [Dally's mother's mother's mother] (1842-1909) was born in Szilsarkany, Hungary.  In 1861 she married R' Shimon Yehuda Rechnitz (1841-1893) of Fraunkirchen (one of the famed שבעה קהילות in the Burgenland area). They settled in Pressburg and are buried there.

Both of Reizel's parents were born Gestetners.  Her father R' Elazar Elya married his neice Mirel, who was the daughter of R' Shlomo Gestetner.

R' Shlomo and R' Elazar Elya were the sons -through two different wives- of R' Leib Gestetner the progenitor of all Gestetners.

  1. Hi,

    I was wondering does Uncle Aron Tzvi Gestetner come from the same Gestetner family as the Strohs do? If yes, how is he related.

    Great job, keep it up

  2. Yes. Uncle Aron Tzvi is from the same Gestetner Family. He is a descendant of R' Leib Gestetner's sons Shlomo, Avrohom and Yechezkel. He is Dally's fourth cousin.
