Himmelfarb: Israel-Australia

Avraham Dov (Berl) Himmelfarb lived in Safed during the second half of the 19th century (died in 1902 as father of a small boy). His wife was Hinda Freida, sister of my great grandfather. She was his first cousin.
His father was Michel Himmelfarb, who also died in Safed.
His wife was probably Malka - sister of my great great grandfather.
Avrham Dov's siblings were Benjamin, Esther Devora, and maybe Henya (though, this may have been his mother's middle name...).
Most of his siblings and his son - David Himmelfarb Forbes - emigrated to Australia after WWI.
We do not know his origin, although family lore has it as "Romania".
Does this connect with anyone?
