thank you for replying. it seems like my brother made a mistake. he thought moshe Klein's father was Reuven chaim Klein from dviklav because my great uncle was called Reuven chaim.

I still cant find out who moshe Klein father was. moshe Klein had a son Shraga feivel klein daughter miriam blume herczl tzerl fischer ida miller and more daughter.

I'm a bit confused by your questions, so let's start from the beginning.
My great-great-great-grandfather Rabbi Reuven Chaim Klein (rav of Davidkoff, author of Shenos Chaim) had 3 sons: Binyamin Eliezer Klein, Tzvi Dov (Hersch Ber) Klein, and Yeruchem Klein. As far as I know, he did not have a son named Moshe. I am a descendant of his oldest son, Binyamin Eliezer (who was my great-grandfather). Binyamin Eliezer also did not have a son named Moshe, his only son was named Mordechai (my great-grandfather). Mordechai also only had one son, who was named Reuven Chaim Klein (my grandfather). So there's nobody named Moshe so far. What makes your brother think that your family descends from the Shenos Chaim? Maybe you can CC your brother on this email so we can discuss?
There was Moshe Azriel Klein (1895-1971) who was a grandson of the Shenos Chaim (through his son Tzvi Dov/Hersch Ber), is that who you're thinking of? There might be more Moshe Kleins in the family tree, but I still need more info to know what I'm looking for.
Are you related to the Fischer family from Los Angeles? I think I remember there's a Rabbi Fischer (whose wife is a Grossman) who is a descendant of the Shenos Chaim.

Re: Bonyhad booklet?

Yes, I was involved in publishing the Hebrew translation of my great-uncle Mr. Blau's book about Bonyhad. I don't have any copies of the book at my house, but there should be some copies left with Ari Gruen (CC'ed on this email) in Ramat Bet Shemesh, so maybe you can figure out how he can get them to you in Haifa. 
In the meantime, the book is supposed to available for free on the NLI website, but I have to sort some things out with the NLI first, so in the meantime you can read it and download it on Google Books: https://www.google.co.il/books/edition/%D7%91%D7%95%D7%A0_%D7%94%D7%90%D7%93_%D7%94%D7%A7%D7%94%D7%99%D7%9C%D7%94_%D7%95%D7%97%D7%95%D7%A8%D7%91%D7%A0/mF16EAAAQBAJ
As for your other questions, I'm not familiar enough with the KRITZLER branch to pass judgement, so I can't say anything.

Hi,
In following up on the Bonyhad geniza story, a Pollak cousin wrote asking for some help.
The short version is that I spoke to Shlomo Kritzler from Sanhedria Murchevet and he said that someone from Beitar put out a booklet on BOnyhad a few years ago and perhaps the info is there.

I suppose that is you. Perhaps you could send me the booklet?

The long story is this:
Her MIL had a sister, Beila Schon b 1912 Mattesdorf, who was married to a David Kritzler, b. 1908 in Bonyhad and they had 3 children, all of whom were murdered. They lived in Hogyesz, which is not far from Bonyhad.
I have 3 David Kritzlers on my tree from Bonyhad, all of whom were murdered. 
THe most likely candidate is Shlomo Kritzler's uncle ( father's brother) for whom I have no wife's name, and 3 children. The names don't match exactly but could be the same:
Breindel= Ibi Blima
Yisrael Shalom = Karl
Chaya = Evik
What do you think?

BTW I believe that the Israel Kritzler who stamped one of the books is his grandfather and so am sending Shlomo the photo.
Thanks,
Lynn
