I just saw you message to me on geni.com from Nov. so I'll respond now. Basically, we don't know exactly how the Shenos Chaim is a descendant of the Remah, so we don't know if it's ben acher ben. I've spoken to many people about this--bottom line is that nobody knows. Regarding Binyamin Eliezer Ungar-Auerbach, apparently Ungar-Auerbach was our original last name and R' Reuven Chaim the first (author of Shenos Chaim) changed his last name to Klein because when he studied in the Chasam Sofer's Yeshiva in Pressburg, he boarded by a childless couple named Klein, so he took their last name in appreciation.
