Re: Genealogy- Stern descendants of Taz

Take a look at: https://kleinfamilygenealogy.blogspot.com/2020/05/re-ravsig-rabbi-of-wolbroms-daughter_7.html - maybe contact this fellow roys18@aol.com who seems to have a lot to say about the TaZ's family history? You might want to email Larry Tauber himself, the latest email address I have for him: ltauber@ctswlaw.com
Three researchers that I'm acquainted with are: Yossi Kwadrat <info@kankanjournal.com> in London, זלמן ליב ווייס <weisszalmen@gmail.com> in Kiryat Joel in USA, and Rifka Junger <rifkajunger@gmail.com> in Vienna. 

Shalom & Kol Tuv,

Reuven Chaim Klein

Shalom Rav Reuven and Chodesh Tov ! 
My wife has a strong family history that she is from the Taz. Her grandmother Chaya Herskovitz had the  maiden name of Stern, from Munkatch.
Chaya's father was Chaim Stern, born 1877.
The tradition is that Chaim was a 12th generation of the Taz. There was once a yichus document which was sadly lost. I am sending a photo of Chaim Stern's kever in Los Angeles (he managed to leave Europe in 1935)
Chaim's father was Yona Stern.
Yona's father was Aharon Stern. 

I would very VERY keen to somehow fit in Aharon to the Taz....your posting on the Jewish genealogy rabbinic digest was a major breakthrough, showing that the Taz's son Shmuel had a son Dovid who called himself Stern, as did his son Tzvi Hirsh. 

I have the entries from Meir Wunder's encyclopedia with the family "chamula" of Sterns, all Leviim, all Taz descendants, including Tzvi Hirsh and his sons Yosef Charif and Yakov.

I would be happy for your communication.
By the way- I am on the recipient list of your "what's in a word" emails, I enjoy them very much! 

I am COINCIDENTALLY in Beitar Elit tonight for a barmitzva, is there any chance we can meet?
