I recently received new information on my wife's Medalie/Medalia Heritage. Her great-great grandfather was indeed David Medalia. But this David was born in 1818 in Papile. His father was Yacov/Yankel, son of Lieb.

I have also been told that all the Medalie's from Papile were from one family. I would be interested in establishing the connection to your familiy.
Thanks

Rabbi Chaim Leib Medalie married Sheyna Dvorah Medalie and had Rabbi Nissan Medalie (born in 1780). Nissan married Huttie.

Nissan and Huttie had Rabbi David Medalie who was born in 1806 in Papile, Lithuania. David married Reina (born in 1810). They had Rabbi Chaim Medalie also born in Papile, Lithuania. He was my great-great-great grandfather and was the nineth generation of consecutive rabbis.

Chaim married Feige and they had all girls (Sarah Rachel born 1856 Papile, died 1934 in New Haven, CT, who was my great grandmother; Leah born 1845 Papile, died 1923 Rome, Georgia; and Chippie born 1862 Papile, died 1942 Norwich, NY

My husband is the grandson of Samuel, also Papile and we know that he did have a brother David but I would like to know how we are related to Rabbi Hillel Medalie of Leeds.

Re: Medalie Family

chaimjan1 — 2010-02-16 14:31:19Z

Rabbi Hillel Medalie, rabbi in Antwerp and Leeds, was the husband of Miriam
Silver, daughter of Tillie Bloch, daughter of Getzel Bloch ( a descendant of
the Vilna Gaon).

Hillel Medalie was a son of Rabbi Shemarya Yehudah Leib Medalie of Moscow.

A brother of Hillel, Aharon Shlomo (1897-1943) was a son-in-law of Rabbi
Avraham Chaim Halevi Katzenellenbogen whose wife Perel was a daughter of
Rabbi Eliyahu Barukh Kamai, Rosh Yeshiva of Mir ( a descendant of Rabbi
Avraham Ragoler, brother of the Vilna Gaon).

I am seeking descendants of the Medalie family who have information about
the descendants of Avraham-Chaim and Perel Katzenellenbogen.

My wife's family name is Medalia. Her great-great-great grandfather was David Medalie from Papile, Lithuania. Many in the family immigrated to Israel in the 1880's and helped found Rishon Le Zion. (In Israel, the name became Medalya.) Would love to know if others are connected to this family. Thanks.

Ann,
I am interested in finding out more about your grandfather Medalie Shmer-Leiba Yankelevich. My great-grandmother was Shifre Yankelevitz daughter of Kalman Mordehai Yankelevitz and Teible (Elka Tova)Israelewitz. Their other children were Jacob Max, Esther Rachel, Abraham Isaac, Haya Lea, Hanna, and Joseph. They were all born in Minsk, Belarus...Timkovichi, Kopyl, or Grozovo. Any that came to the US changed their names to Cohen, Cohn, and Yankowitz. Thanks for any help.

The info I have on Jospeh Yankelevitch is this:
b: 1865 in Roseva, Russia
d: 1911 in Russia

His sister and my great-grandmother was Shifre Yankelevitch, born 1864 in Kopyl< Minsk. She died Oct. 19, 1894 in Russia.

I have the info for 6 of her siblings, as well as Shifre's husband Velvel Melamed (Wolf or William Miller), my great-grandfather.

The info I have on Shifre's parents are that they are:

Kalman Mordehai Yankelevitch
b: 1830 in Minsk, Russia
d: 1895 in Russia

Teible (Elka Tova) Bornstein
b: 1832 in Minsk, Russia

Did any of your ancestors live in the area of Kopyl, Mosty, Timkovichi, Grosova, Minsk? I am searching for Rabbi Joseph Yankelevitch married to Bashe. His father was Kalman Mordehai Yankelevich married to Elka Tova Bornstein. They may have lived in Minsk. Any connection?

In searching for some Klaff mishpacha, I found a Sarah Klaff who married Barney Joshua Medalie. This is a branch of the family I am not familiar with and would like to see if anyone has any information on Barney and Sarah. It appears that part of this family ended up in South Africa. Barney's parents were Jacob and Beila Gluckman.
If anyone can shed any light on whose child Sarah Klaff was, I would appreciate it. It might be yet another missing branch of the tree.

Hello,
My name is Yuliya Melnyk. I live now in Kirovohrad, Ukraine. My granny's maiden last name is Medalie (of course in Ciryllic font). She is alive (born in 1916). I have always known her maiden name, but I haven't done any research of my origin before. I decided to do after I studied for a year in the US. People are interested in this much there. My granny's father was Ivan Medalie and his father Alexander. Ivan lived in Novosokolniki and was born either in Poland or Latvia. If it gives somebody some information, please let me know. Ivan's brother lived in Baku and was poisoned there.

2003-09-05 09:33:52Z

Is it possible that Medalyer is a corruption of the Medalie name? I know that my paternal grandparents came from Riga in Latvia. My grandfather was Julius Medalyer, my grandmother Raysel (nee Greenter)

Other than my immediate family in London, I've been unable to find any mishpocha.

Can anyone throw any light on this?

I look forward to hearing from someone.

amedalie — 2003-05-14 21:02:31Z

I live in Boston, my grandfather, Harry was from Riga, Latvia (we think). Some of his family left for South Africa, and some came to the US. We always thought that if the name was the same, that we are related.
On another note, my sister and I went to Tyumen and Moscow in March, 2002, where she and her husband adopted a beautiful baby boy.
