My research into the family of my great-grandmother, Chaya Eisner has taken many turns. First helped by Chaim Rosenberg in about the year 2000 in response to a note I had posted on JewishGen, I found out that Chaya's father was probably Mendel Eisner.

Then, a number of years later I met Luke Rothman a young man who was just beginning his genealogy journey.Luke and I have kept in touch for all these years and his reseach is outstanding and has opened up an entire new world of my grandmother Helen's family.

It seems that Chaya was married to a Moses Grabstein before she married my great grandfather, Chaim Landes of Buchach. Luke has connected Helen's half siblings and the fascinating stories of their lives.
