10/31/2021 11:51 AM This is the second page of the index of Records of the Beth Din of Brody 1808-1817. It is part of a name index at the end of the volume.
I am looking for records of the Reisfeld, Lewin and Schmelkes families. I wonder if any of these names appear in the index:
Rabbi Asher Zelig Reisfeld, born around 1795.
Rabbi Asher’s son Chaskel Abraham Reisfeld, born on 8 November 1815.
Hersch Naphtali Löwe / Lewin, born around 1784
Hersch’s son Naphtola Löw / Lewin, born around 1811.
Naphtola’s son David Leib Löw / Lewin, born 31 October 1831. David Leib married Ruchel Leah Reisfeld, thereby uniting the families.
David Leib and Ruchel Leah’s son Nathan married Hudes Schmelkes, daughter of Rabbi Yischak Yehuda Schmelkes who became Rabbi of Lwów. Nathan trained with Rabbi Yischak Yehuda and became Rabbi of Rohatyn and then of Rseszów.
The Reisfeld, Lewin and Schmelkes families of Brody were religious and they were prosperous. There are likely to be marriage records, property records, wills, etc.
