The Rozdol family known
as IF1 is headed by Hersch-Leib Pikholz and his wife Sara Rosenzweig.
According to Hersch-Leib's death certificate (27 November 1880), his parents
were Izak and Feige and he was forty-five years old when he died.
(We do not have a birth record for him, although we did commision a search
for any Pikholz birth records in the Lwow archives.) Sara was pregnant
when Hersch-Leib died.

The Rozdol family known as IF3
is headed by Abraham Pikholz and Taube Krut. According to his death
certificate (14 April 1878), he was fifty-two years old and his parents
were Isak and Feige-Minke. Taube died less than a year later.
![]() We have birth records for five children (1855-1870) and a birth year (1849) for another. We have no idea about possible descendants for four of the six. There is an Isak (b. 1902?) who may be a grandson of Taube and Abraham. The one daughter of Taube and Abraham whose family we know has no one named either Isak or Feige. The youngest son of Avraham and Taube indeed had a daughter Feige.) |

The Rozdol family known as IF4 is headed by David Pikholz and Szerka
Kawa. According to his death certificate (15 March 1882), he was
fifty-nine years old and his parents were Isak and Feige. Szerka
died in 1888.
![]() We have birth records for three sons, but do not know their families. (In one case, we have a theory and that son had no son named Isak. His own wife was Feige.) Other children of David and Szerka are Scheindel-Pesche and Yitzhak, who would be older than the three for whom we have records. |
||
We also have a 1832 birth for Pinkas, to Isak and Fayga. I considered
that this is Pinkas from the family we call .![]() |
Keep in mind that the first Rozdol Pikholz couple is Pinkas and Sara-Rivka. Pinkas died about 1825. We have documentation on two of their children, one born 1807 and one born about 1818 (died 1883 at age sixty-five). So it is reasonable that Isak is another son, older than the other two. It is not reasonable to assume that David (b. 1823) is a great-grandson of Pinkas, so his father Isak cannot be a grandson of Pinkas. (That would require us to say that Pinkas and Sara-Rivka had a great-grandson only five years after they themselves had a son.)
But things are not so simple. Here are the problems.

Isak & Taube | early 1860's

IF2 | 1. Nachman's first child
was born in 1858, so the birth year may be earlier than listed 2. A recently deceased grandson of Nachman and Sara Rivka says they are siblings. |
