My great-great-great-grandfather Yehuda Alte Dov and his wife Beilah had four sons that we know of: Yakov, Tobias, Wolfe, and Lieb Leon.
This section focuses on the offspring of Yakov (Yankov, as he was known in Yiddish) — or Jacob, as he was referred by his children after they settled in Montreal. This article looks at the descendants of Yakov’s two daughters, Eva and Pearl, as well as their children and grandchildren. As Eva became a Siminovitch and Pearl became a Stern, their descendants are no longer Rudners; for that reason, they do not each get their own page, nor as much detail. But, their children are cousins of Rudners, and their grandchildren are second cousins, and thus merit mention. To see the main article on Rudners, which links to Eva’s and Pearl’s brothers, and as well as to Tobias’ descendants, click here.
There was an interesting difference between Lea’s family and Pearl’s, and their brothers’. Abraham’s, Israel’s and Lea’s children associated with each other– they went to the same Hebrew schools, dances, teas, card game evenings, weddings, and some even vacationed together. Whereas Pearl’s family interacted somewhat with the Siminovitches, but not with the Rudner’s. That may explain why Moe Rudner’s tree had no information about the Sterns.
