Hate to disappoint you but there are no known direct descendants from dovid hamelech who can prove their lineage.
Look it up


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.

Apparently every Ashkenazi Jew us descended from Rashi these days, just putting that out there!


Really? You're the second person to say something like that in this thread, but I never heard of that idea before, it's an interesting thought. Source?

There is some paper about it, called the Rashi descent. Mathematically based on the amount of ancestors every Ashkenazi Jew has, they are likely to be related to every Jew of the Rashi era, or something along those lines. I think there's no actual proof but it makes sense. We know we're all cousins if you go back far enough, it's just how far do you need to go back...

I knew his secretary from before the war quite well
She was not and never was frum
I wonder if the Aguda has any non frum employees now?

Me too.
I expect there are a lot of Cohen cousins.
Working out the cousin relationship can get confusing though!

Interesting observation- Almost all (yes I noticed R' SRH and a few others) names here are Chassidish. I wonder if this a chassidish thing to be into this and knowledgeable who you're descended from? Is it that non chassidim don't care as much? or don't have well known ancestors? Who knows...


Nope I come from very Litvish ancestry - the Vilna Gaon and some more.. I love genealogy

Bobby Yittele's einikel too. Hi cousins.
Also descendant of the SHACH and his daughter Esther. ( Guess how proud I was when we worked on a yichus project in school!)


Are you aware that she was very controversial?

Very awkward to talk about it.

ETA My cousins are decendents too and they have a very hard time in shidduchim. They marry different Lefkowitz cousins. I guess the family is big enough.
