Perel is not the daughter of Schmuel Schmelkes, according to recent scholarship. A. Putik and D. Polakovic (2009) 'Judah Loew ben Bezalel, Called Maharal * A study on his genealogy and biography', in P. Demetz (ed) Path of Life. Rabbi Judah Loew ben Bezalel ca. 1525*1609, Academia, Prague, pp29-83. See page 57.

This is correct.

Shmuel "Reich" Schmelke Sax

We need to remove this one.

Yigal Burstein you keep inserting incorrect information into this part of the tree, based on mistakes made by Meir Perels. This is not correct.

Meir Perels claims that the Krol family is a descendant of the son of the Maharal of Prague.

I wonder if there is any reference to this...and I wonder for one reason: the Krol family are descendants of Shaul Whal Katzenlenbogen, how is it possible that they would be son after son of the Maharal of Prague
?
Did one branch change the family name to the Krol family name?

I forgot to mention: I am a descendant of the Krol family from Kalisz, and I have a file containing about 900 tombstones from Kalisz... I was surprised to find members of the Kroll family, some of whom are Choanim, some are Levites, and some are neither.
