You seem to be able to connect to many of the people on this string. There are several messages talking about 8 Tugendhaft siblings in the late 1800's including Dovid's grandfather Yisroel David and Joshua's great grandfather named Asher, Meyer Tugendhaft and Shmuel Tugendhaft. Many of the family names are the same as in my family. I am wondering if my great great grandfather naphtali was one of those siblings. He had a brother named Moses David. They both immigrated to Canada in 1889 so the dates would be correct. Does any of that sound possible. Do you think the town the 8 came from in Scienjawa, Poland. Where is that? Do you know? Why did you believe we were certainly related? You can email me directly at
