Hello
Wow,
According to what i know,
His father's name was Shlomo Luria Ashkenazi, his mother's name is unclear, but her family name was Frances,
she was Sephardi..
his father Shlomo was probably the cousin of Rabbi Shlomo Luria the MAHARSHAL,
I am a descendant of the MAHARSHAL,
through his granddaughter ,Yehiel Luria's daughter,
as much as I can tell, this family tree is solid,
Regards
Avi
I believe that then (in 2008) there was a mistake in the Geni (the mistake has been corrected a long time ago)...as of now, I don't think I am a descendant of Ha'Ari HaKadosh, great cousins, definitely yes, because I am a descendant of the MAHARSHAL
Ha'Ari HaKadosh's mother was called Lipka nee Francis...
By the way, I once read an interesting theory that claims that the Maharashal's mother (Lipka) was a cousin of Ha'Ari HaKadosh's mother and both were named after their ancestors... I have no idea if this theory is true or not
