If you are on my branch of the Chertoff tree, this page enables you to find out how we are related! Just find your name in the list, and our relation appears in parenthesis at the end of that line.
* "Harry" is the name that appears in official documentation in the United States. Considering that it is not a Yiddish or Russian name, I assume that it is not his original name (he never left Belarus, Russia at that time), but have no proof of any other. Any information that might lead us to find his original name could lead us to the missing link(s) to the other Chertoff family branches. If you have such information, please contact me.
I've color-coded and indented according to generations to make it easier to identify members of the same generation. The number that appears before each name indicates the generation number from the source (patriarch) of our tree. The number that appears following each name, and preceded by the number symbol ("#"), is a reference number to help us identify each individual (sometimes the same name appears a few times in a family, especially when naming children after ancestors) and facilitates work in genealogical software. That reference number helps when clarifying incorrect names or spellings of names.
Spouse names do not include relation, because they are not related to me (at least, not in genealogical terms).
Our patriarch, Harry Chertoff, is the only member of the first generation. His children are in the second generation, and theirs are in the third (and so on). So...I, for example, am in the fourth generation and my reference number (in this tree) is 1. Therefore, my name appears indented and as follows:
4 Moshe Avraham (Marc Alan) Chertoff #1 b. 21 May 1953 Los Angeles, CA USA (myself)
m. Dina Mazan #2 m. 8 Aug 1979 Kibbutz Shomrat, ISRAEL b. 25 Oct 1957 Nahariya, ISRAEL
If you'd like to receive such a display of your relations to the rest of our branch (or send one to a relative as a present), simply contact me at moshe@shomrat.com . It would be my pleasure to generate it for you. It's quite easy.
