The Rivka and Shmuel Lehrer Family

Shmuel Lehrer (c.1870 - 1930 [2 Iyar]), son of Yitzchok Yehuda, married Rivka Weinberger (c.1874 - 1936 [24 Av]), daughter of Pesach Moshe and Bracha, and they had seven known children. Rivka was from Bukowsko, Poland and was a descendent of the Bnei Yissoschur, R' Hersh Mylech Spira. Their daughter's marriage record lists Rivka's maiden name as SPIRA (not Weinberger). See the 1911 Rzeszow marriage record images at the Poland Archives website, records 361 - 365. Shmuel and Rivka lived in Skelivka (known as Felsztein), Ukraine. This town is close to Przemysl, Poland. It is located in Lvivskoi Oblasti (Oblast) at 49º32' and 40º38', is 20 km from Samor and 12 km from St. Sambor.
