Needs merger- Rabbi Zvulen Eliezer Heilprin

Kevin Lawrence Hanit

Kevin Lawrence Hanit Haim Katz - Hachoen Wartski Oh brother, this seems to never end! Perhaps this is the last Zevulon. Okay, I have looked at the descendant charts of both Rabbi Zvulen (added to GENI in 2007) and Zebulun.(added to GENI in 2019) and the situation is not as bad as it looks. First, the first five entries on the 2019 tree may be merged with the 2007 tree without discrepancies or direct conflicts. The sixth entry on the 2019 tree is Rabbi Eliezer Lippman Heilprin, A.B.D. of Tarnogrod and on the 2007 tree is Rabbi Eliezer Lippman Heilprin, A.B.D. of Tarnogrod There is no problem merging these two: the problem arises with the son Yakov who appears on both the 2007 and 2019 trees: Reb Jacob Halpern, A.B.D. Kreszow and Reb Jacob Halpern, A.B.D. Kreszow If you open up the descendant charts of these two Yakovs you will see some discrepancies that don't appear to be resolvable via mere mergers.

So the bottom line is that except for this Yakov, the entire 2019 tree can be merged into the 2007 tree. I would then ask the managers of the two Yakov trees to put their thoughts together and try to clean that branch up.

My guess is that the branch Haim is referring to as being missing stems from this Yakov area and will reappear when the 2007 and 2019 trees are merged.

PS: I have renamed Zvulen to Zebulon on the 2007 tree, which is a more traditional spelling of this name and may avoid duplication in the future.

PSS: When I said that the first 5 (and most of the 6th) entries of the 2019 tree could be merged with 2007 without discrepancies or conflicts I want to clarify that there will be new information from both trees in the merged tree such as names of wives and new children, but there won't be any direct conflicts. When the mergers are done, the person just needs to make sure to resolve each merger properly.

I am now proceeding to take care of this process (except for cleaning up the Yakovs) since I've already done the review work. Here goes nothing....

Okay, this is done. I have started a discussion on the Yakovs to alert these managers.
