If you are on my branch of the Silberstein 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.
* It appears that the "original" surname was Zylbersztajn or Zylbersztejn in Mlawa, Poland. That is how it appears transliterated in the documentation that comes from Mlawa, and is available on the "Jewish civil records of the town of Mlawa in the Mlawa Archives project" page of the JewishGen organization. Their explanation of transliteration technique is as follows:
"Names in the post 1867 indices for the Polish State Archives project were entered in the original Cyrillic letters and converted to Latin characters using a special system under test. Therefore, some surnames may be appear with transliterated spelling which are different from those "Polish spellings" researchers are familiar with. They include:
W's
appear as V's - example: VIDELEC instead of WIDELEC
H's appear as G's - example: STEINGAUZ
instead of STEINHAUZ
Extra "Js" in name - example: FJEJGJELMAN instead
of FEJGELMAN
FOGJEL'MAN instead of FOGELMAN"
The third example applies to us.
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, Yitzrach Silberstein, 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

1 Yitzrach Silberstein #284 b. _____ Mlawa d. 1931-1932 Czyew, Poland (great-grand father)
m. Ruchel Goldstein #285 d. 1937 Czyew, Poland
He was the only Rabbi in W. W. I who didn't ask the chaplin of the Kaiser Bismark's army for food, money, or supplies. He only asked to allow the Jewish store owners in his village to close on Shabbat. "He later moved to Czyew (pronounced Chisheveh) with his family during WWI because Mlawa was very close to the German border. He married my grandmother Ruchel (Rachel) and they had 13 children, of which my mother was the youngest. Itzrach had a stroke just after I was born..."--Sol Gordon

Beulah resembles her. Jack wrote that his mom (Hannah) told him: "when she left home for American she was 17 years old. She said that when she got on the train at the station she remembered how hard they cryed and when the train started to leave her mother ran along waving at her. She knew that she probably would never see her again."
