Feige Chaje of Rohatyn

Feige Chaje, whose maiden name has not been found, was the wife of Abraham Josel Poczter of Rohatyn, in Austrian Galicia. Her daughters included Chana (Ben's great-great-grandmother), who married the tailor Feivel Zahler, Hudel, and Henie; the sons Leib Mechel (1866) and Hersch Mendel (1869) may also have been hers. The family lived in Rohatyn at house number 170 in 1866 and number 230 in 1869.

Abraham died in 1887. Feige Chaje lived another ten years, long enough to see Chana's daughter born in 1891 and named Feige Chaje after her. That granddaughter, known in America as Clara, would become Ben's great-grandmother. Feige Chaje died in Rohatyn in 1897.
