    Notes 
    • She had three children from a prior marriage that she brought into the family. There is a story that she hid food for her three children in a barrel under the ground at the expense of Henoch's children.
    • In the Rezekne Family List it shows Brocha, daughter of Jankel, as "second wife" and age 45 in 1909. The mother of the second family died in 1904 per family members. Brocha must have been the third wife if she was still alive at the time of Henoch's death in 1909.

    Notes 
    • This record was in the Rezekne Family records at Jewishgen. I copied the information.

      He did have a third wife who came to the marriage with children of her own.

      I am not so sure she is the one. This could be a duplicate of Basheva.

      His existing children hated the third wife. She would hide food from them to save for her own children. This was a motivating factor to leave home and come to America.

      Aunt Bessie told me this, as I recall.
