The Margulies - Remenyi Family
From Margolioth to Margolis to Margulies
Our Margulies line descends from Menachim Menish Margolioth. Although only two are shown on the above tree,
Menachim had five sons. Our particular Margulies Family is descended from Elyakim Getzel Margolioth (1765),
a brother of the famous Ephraim Zalman Margolioth (1760-1828).
On the hand-drawn tree, it looks as if our line is descended directly from Ephraim Zalman.
Maier Farber seems to confirm this:
Jacob Margoles was the direct ancestor of the great Talmud Scholar Salman Margulies, a historical adornment of Brody.
His grandson, Moritz Margulies [my Greatgrandfather] a profound Talmud adept, was one of the early "Maskilim", ... [1]
I don't know which came first here, but I suspect that Meir Faerber got his information from the
same source as the person who created our hand-drawn family tree. New data shows that the Elyakim
Getzel Margulies (b.1827) from whom we descend is not the son of Ephraim Zalman M. (b.1760), but the
grandson of another Elyakim Getzel M. (b.1765) who was Ephraim Salman's brother.
