re parnes family
do you know if the family came from
sokolov – austria- hungary also was poland depending on the time .
Looking into family members with that name chana nee’ parnas married name pfefer not sure of the spelling . Was told that chana was a twin to another sister , family was very frum , one picture we have of her she is wearing a shaitel. Her husband had a beard and covered his head. Chana’s mothers name was rochel and father think was avraham. they lived in williamsburg – her husbands name was wolf (or possibly, zev). Looking to find out more about the family background .
Know they were niftar in 1937 and we are looking for their kevarim which are somewhere on long island.
The Aiheller Rebbe Rabbi Meisels – the older one( used to visit in Miami Beach, was familiar with the Pfefer – Parnes families.
Any info would be greatly appreciated as we don’t have much to begin with,

There is a “famous story” about his not excepting money from a non Shomer Shabbos. Rebbe Moshe Weinberger, the Aish Kodesh of Woodmere once told me that many years ago he was at a weekend event for B/Ts and on Sunday afternoon as he was leaving a man came over to him and said I would like to tell you a story. Usually said Rabbi Weinberger that means he wants to tell his story. Being in a rush Rabbi Weinberger asked him to call during the week. To which the man said I am eynikl of the Dukla Rav. Much to the dismay of the Rebbetzin and his family the man now had Rabbi Weinberger’s undivided attention. He then proceeded to relate the “famous story”. (Baruch, being that it is lengthily I will fax you a hard copy which I hope you can post.) Interestingly some of the details have a slight variation from the popular version.

A grandson of his Reb Dovid Schmuel Parnes recently passed away, which brough up this Rebbe once again.
I would like to learn more on his whereabouts, I know Reb Yosef Yizchok came around 1913 from Dukla, Galicia and settled in Borogh Park (not sure if this was right in the begining).
The Parnes family name was famous in Galicia where they married into big Rabbinic dynesties, particulary in the Sanz Halberstam family, there was also a Dayan in Tarnopol named Reb Yisroel Parnes, don’t know if and how they are related.
Here is a thread discussing this topic with -so far- limited information:

The Reb Dovid Shmiel who recently passed away was Rabi Mordcha Williger’s son in law
