3/7/2012 4:32 PM Yehuda (=Lyon) son of Benyamin (=Benjamin) meaning that the father's name is Benjamin.
He died on 8 Adar 5622, Feb 8 1862, and was 84 years old.

Thankyou

So, Yehuda ben Benyamin would be a correct expression of the name?
3/9/2012 6:05 PM Yes, Yehuda (Ye-hoo-dah) Ben Benyamin (Been-yah-meen) will be the correct Hebrew expression. I doubt though that the same expression was used in the 18th century; my guess is, providing East European descent,that the first name was expressed as U-Dah, and the last name was probably Bin-u-meen.
