Hi Eli, We are distant cousins. I am also descended from Katzenellenbogen. From your chart, our common ancestor was Avraham Yehoshua Heshel. While you are descended from his son Issachar Berrish Babad, I am descended from his son Shaul Babad, a son from Avraham’s marriage to one of the Klausner sisters, either Esther or Hinde. So you and I are 10th cousins…or 10th half cousins perhaps, but we both share the same 9th great-grandfather. Gwen
