Lisa, boynot's daughter, embarked on family tree project for school quite a few years ago; turns out, Allan Evenas, built one of his own. Both trees had holes - termites?)
So we tried to glue them together. There a .pdf file that can be enlarged vertically and horizontally, and hopefully, you can see what we've got - so far. Clearly, it is likely that more holes exist ... and YOU might actually have more facts to help complete the picture.
Send your knowledge, and we'll update our heritage tree. Thanks!

The text of what we put together:
Hi Allan,
OK here is how we are related. Bernie helped me with the details. I'm sure you know most of this already...if I got something wrong or left someone out forgive me...
Fette (Abe) had many siblings...
Fette had a brother named Benyamin - his daughter is Bolcha who married Barish (who died many years ago)and they had 1 son-Bernie... Bernie is married to Shelly and has 4 kids and 1 very cute granddaughter.
Fette had another brother -Sheeah who had 4 children Chana(who died in war), Rechelle (who died in 1970's in NY), Sruel (my grandpa who died last year), and Morris(who died in 1987).
Chana was oldest and died in the war. She had a son -our parents age now
around 80 years old-Stanley Levine. He is married to Shirley. They have
2 children Gaylanne married to Ira (who has 4 kids and 2 grandchildren)
