Source of the Behr Tree Companion

At the heart of our family story are Gershon Behrman and his wife Dobe Beile, whose eight children shaped the branches of the family we belong to today. After Gershon died young, their seven sons left Kretinga in search of new lives, while their sister Leah remained.
