DH comes from Ropshitz, along with many other chassidish dynasties. I guess my kids have loads of cousins here!

Yeah! That book was such closure for me. For some reason her story feels very real to me. More so than my other great-grandparents. She never talked about the Holocaust only before and after.

Are all the people posting here that they are descendants of the Tosfos Yom Tov and make a seuda (and also have an extra fast day?) chassidish?

She's saying that each of the siblings have at least one child (out of many) with twins. Not that practically all of their children each have a set. In a family with 10 children, say, it is very common for at least one out of the ten to have twins, Teomim family or not.

My husband is one of 11. I am one of 7. No twins in any of the families. And none of my cousins have twins either. That’s many families. So no it’s not as common as you think…

Are you related to Gross? I'm pretty sure by great grandfather lived in Scranton - one of his sons in law was Reuven (Rubi) Mendlowitz who was a (half) brother to R' Shraga Feivel. R' Shraga Feivel lived in Scranton for 7 years working as a Rebbi.

I haven’t heard of Gross. R’ Shraga Feivel lived at my relatives in Scranton who had the same last name as him but AFAIK they weren’t related.

What do you mean? Tons of people are from Dovid Hamelech. The Noam Elimelech traces his lineage back all the way to Dovid Hamelech in the beginning of his Haggadah.

Haven't combed through the entire FASCINATING thread (it's loooooooooong), but just had to reply to this one -
my grandfather used to say we were directly descended from Dovid HaMelech, and before teh war his parents had a detailed family tree to prove it. It got lost in the war Crying
