Wiesner & Reich
Gáva, Sajószentpéter and Kovácsvágás
Sátoraljaújhely · Gáva · Kovácsvágás · Ajnácskő · Sajószentpéter · Munich · New York
Miriam Wiesner Perlow was born at Sajószentpéter on 2 October 1922, the daughter of Rav Shmaya (Samuel, Samu) Wiesner (1890–1961) and Szerén (Sarah Leah) Szender. Rav Shmaya, born at Ajnácskő, wrote for the Orthodox press of the 1920s as “Wiesner Samu, Sajószentpéter”; he came to America in 1939, and from 1941 his house and shul stood at 1424 49th Street, Brooklyn.
His father Farkas (Wolf, Ze’ev) Wiesner was born at Gáva in 1865 and married Golda (Gizella) Braunfeld at Sajószentpéter in December 1887; he died there in 1922. Farkas was the son of Antal (Naftali Tzvi) Wiesner and Blüme Reich, who married in 1855; Antal ended his days in Jerusalem in 1907. Blüme was the daughter of R’ Wolf Reich, a wool merchant of Kovácsvágás, born at Nyíri on 4 April 1794, who died on 11 February 1864, and of his wife Mushkat (Muszkat), born at Nagyida on 7 September 1797, who died at Pusztafalu on 20 April 1864 — the marriage original reads “Miskat”, correcting the earlier “Mikal”, and the exact dates come from an 1857 census printed in Alei Zikaron 63 (Probable, high). Blüme’s sister Eszter married Rabbi Sámuel Krausz of Kovácsvágás.
Antal’s father was the elder Shmaya (Sámuel) Wiesner of Gáva, born about December 1802 at Sátoraljaújhely, who died at Gáva in 1862; he married at least three times. Antal’s mother Rozália, born at Csaba, was very probably a daughter of the Pri Tzadik, R’ Meir Avraham of Csaba (d. 1829) — the 1839 printing of the Pri Tzadik names “my brother-in-law R’ Shmaya” of Gáva among its subscribers. The Pri Tzadik’s wife was Frumet Pessel Benet (Probable), who died at Miskolc in 1845, daughter of R’ Gabriel Benet of Cífer and Rebeka of Nikolsburg; his own father, in his handwriting, was “R’ Yosef called Yozpa … at Cífer”.
The Pri Tzadik was buried at Hejőcsaba, near Miskolc — this is now proven: a letter of 1971, printed in “A miskolci Avas” (1993), asks that the graves of “rabbi Meir Avraham (Pri Cadik) and his wife” be moved to Miskolc separately, and a book of 1970 describes a visit to his grave there. Whether the four old stones now standing in parcel VIII of the Avas cemetery in Miskolc are his and his wife’s is possible only.
Of Rav Shmaya’s ten brothers and sisters, several died at Auschwitz in June 1944, as did their mother Golda; Ignácz, Béla, Gyula and the youngest, Antal (Naftali Tzvi), survived.

son of Yeta Devora (sister of the siblings' 3rd-great-grandmother Rozália) — Probable
Born c. 1864 · Died Oct 1891, Budapest
A law student in Budapest who took the surname Ónodi in 1886: the “second Ónodi”, on the same page of the name-change book as his brother Dávid and with the same new surname. He died in Budapest in October 1891, aged about 27. Probable brother of Dr Adolf Ónodi: no birth record or record naming his parents has been found.
R’ Yitzchak Yosef Blich, rav of Gáva Probable
grandson of the Pri Tzadik (his renewed stone), rav of Gáva
Born c. 1819–22 (age 54 in Mar 1876) · Died 19 Adar 5661 (10 Mar 1901), Gáva — renewed stone (Probable); another source gives 26 Adar 5658 (20 Mar 1898)
Conflict kept visible: the printed biography in HebrewBooks 51233 calls him a son-in-law of the Pri Tzadik, but earlier research (Alei Zikaron 66 and his stone) makes him a grandson — and a man who died in 1898 is far more likely a grandson of someone who died in 1829. The 1839 book itself names Shmaya of Gáva, not Blich, as the publisher’s brother-in-law there. Son-in-law: Possible. Read the full record →
Sari (Száli) Finkelstein Probable
daughter of Yeta Devora (sister of the siblings' 3rd-great-grandmother Rozália) — Probable
Born 24 May 1848, Miskolc
Probable child of Yosef Finkelstein and Yeta Devora: a Miskolc birth to “Josef Finkelstein” in the index (not read on the original), with the mother’s name given as not given in the index. She is “Száli, 1 week” in the 1848 census household of Josef Finkelstein and Benet Száli.
Simon Finkelstein Probable
son of Yeta Devora (sister of the siblings' 3rd-great-grandmother Rozália) — Probable
Born 2 Feb 1856, Miskolc · Died died young
Probable child of Yosef Finkelstein and Yeta Devora: a Miskolc birth to “Josef Finkelstein” in the index (not read on the original), with the mother’s name given as “Franzi” (the index notes that he died).
3rd-great-grandparents of the seven siblings
Daughter of the Pri Tzadik (name unknown), wife of R’ Pinchas David Probable
sister of Rozália (the siblings' 4th-great-grandaunt)
A sister of Rozália Wiesner and of Yeta Devora Finkelstein. Her husband is called “my brother-in-law” by the publisher of the 1839 book, the Pri Tzadik’s son-in-law Yosef Finkelstein. Her given name is unknown.
Daughter of the Pri Tzadik (name unknown), wife of R’ Shimon Lieberman Probable
sister of Rozália (the siblings' 4th-great-grandaunt)
A sister of Rozália Wiesner and of Yeta Devora Finkelstein. Her husband is called “my brother-in-law” by the publisher of the 1839 book. Her given name is unknown. Read the full record →
Eszti (Esther) Blich, written “Fridmán Eszti” Probable
mother of R’ Yitzchak Yosef Blich; daughter of the Pri Tzadik and sister of Rozália (Probable; the siblings' 4th-great-grandaunt)
Mother of R’ Yitzchak Yosef (József) Blich, rav of Gáva: Proven as his mother, from the Balsa/Gáva marriage register, 24 Mar 1876, entry 27, which names the groom’s parents “Blich Náthán, Rabiner, Csabán” and “Fridmán Eszti” (image 305, read on the original). As a daughter of the Pri Tzadik she is Probable: Alei Zikaron names the rav of Gáva’s mother as Esther, daughter of the Pri Tzadik; his renewed stone calls him the Pri Tzadik’s grandson; and her husband was rabbi at Csaba, the Pri Tzadik’s town. Maiden-name conflict kept visible: the register writes her maiden name “Fridmán”, while the Pri Tzadik’s family appears as Benet in Yeta Devora’s records and as Roth or Benet for Rozália (her son’s own records elsewhere give “Friedman” and “Rosenbaum”). Read the full record →
Mushkat (Muszkat, Miskat) Reich מושקט Proven

father of R’ Yitzchak Yosef Blich; son-in-law of the Pri Tzadik (by his wife Eszti, Probable)
Father of R’ Yitzchak Yosef (József) Blich, rav of Gáva. Two original register entries of his son’s 1876 marriage name him: the Balsa/Gáva marriage register, 24 Mar 1876, entry 27, gives the groom’s parents as “Blich Náthán, Rabiner, Csabán” and “Fridmán Eszti” (image 305), and the late entry of the same marriage in the Gáva register of 1889, p. 12, gives the father as “Blich Náthán, rabbi” (image 309). Proven as written, read on the originals. Read the full record →

son-in-law of the Pri Tzadik (husband of Rozália’s sister)
Died 17 Kislev 5639 (13 Dec 1878), Jerusalem
Son-in-law of the Pri Tzadik. Listed under Kótaj in the 1839 book (p. 95) as the publisher’s “brother-in-law R’ Pinchas David”; the printed biography names him as rav of Bököny, who settled in Jerusalem and died there.

Son-in-law of the Pri Tzadik; rav of Szenna for 45 years, father of the Lieberman rabbinic family. Listed under Szenna in the 1839 book (p. 95) as the publisher’s “brother-in-law R’ Shimon”; the printed biography names him R’ Shimon Lieberman.
Shmaya (Sámuel) Wiesner of Gáva Proven
the siblings' 3rd-great-grandfather
Born c. Dec 1802, Sátoraljaújhely · Died 16 Sep 1862, Gáva
Rav of Gáva; brother-in-law of the Pri Tzadik’s family (the 1839 subscriber list names “my brother-in-law R’ Shmaya” of Gáva; Alei Zikaron 66 calls him “chatan of the Pri Tzadik”).

sister of Rozália
Born c.1820/26, Csaba · Died 24 Jan 1908, Budapest
Sister of Rozália; wife of Yosef Finkelstein of Miskolc. Her Budapest stone names her as daughter of the Pri Tzadik and gives her mother’s name, Frumet Pessel (daughter of the Pri Tzadik — Probable). Her 1908 civil death gives different parents’ names (conflict kept visible). Read the full record →
Yosef (József) Finkelstein of Miskolc Proven
husband of Yeta Devora (sister of the siblings' 3rd-great-grandmother Rozália)
Died before May 1887
Husband of Yeta Devora née Benet, of Miskolc; a private gentleman (“magánzó”). Three registers name him as Dr Adolf Ónodi’s father: the 1857 Miskolc birth (“Jos. Finkelstein”), the 1887 Pest marriage (“Finkelstein József”, by then deceased) and the 1881 name-change list; the 1908 death of his widow calls her “özv. Read the full record →

Author of Pri Tzadik (Pressburg 1839). His tie to Rozália is Probable (high); the 1839 subscriber list names “my brother-in-law R’ Shmaya” of Gáva. His burial at Hejőcsaba is Proven: a letter of 19 July 1971 printed in “A miskolci Avas” (1993, p.388) asks that the graves of “rabbi Meir Avraham (Pri Cadik) and his wife” not be exhumed with the rest but moved to Miskolc separately, and Paszternák (1970, p.62) describes a visit to his grave there.

Died 2 Oct 1831 (25 Tishrei 5592), Cífer
