1) Find the relationship of one person to the common ancestor
using the top row. Follow that column straight down.
         2) Find the relationship of the other person to the common ancestor
         using the left hand column. Follow that row straight across.
   3) The relationship is where the projected column and row meet.

Using the chart above, determine the "cousin connection" of the individuals in the photos below.

Center: Eric Perelman (grandson of Harry and Eva (Solomon) Lipton), his son Zack Perelman on his right, and nephew Avi Oler on his left.

Using the chart provided, are you able to identify the family i.e. "Solomon Cousin" connections?

What is the relationship of the people in one photo to those in the other photos?

Have some fun!

(Answers provided at the bottom of the page.)

Edward Solomon (grandson of Alex and Gertie (Shapiro) Solomon and great-grandson of Harry and Dora (Rogow) Solomon) and Robin Roger (daughter of Ralph and Beverley Roger (Rogow), granddaughter of Ben and Mary (Solomon) Rogow).

           What is the cousin relationship between Edward Solomon and Robin Roger?

            (Note that it is Edward's great-grandfather Harry Solomon and Robin's grandmother Mary (Solomon) Rogow who are the siblings who married siblings, Dora (Rogow) Solomon and Ben Rogow.)

             Who are their common ancestors? How are they related to the people in the previous photo?

Joe Kadish (son of Kay and Frances (Atkins) Kadish, grandson of Hershel Leib (Henry) and Chaisora (Sarah) (Solomon) Atkins) as an usher at his cousin Rivy Lipton's wedding to Murray Perelman, August, 1948.

What is the cousin relationship between Joe Kadish (left photo) and Eric Perelman in the first photo? (In this photo Joe is an usher in Eric's parents' wedding.)

Who is their common ancestor?

    And how is he related to Edward Solomon and Robin Roger?

Who is their common ancestor?

Can you use the chart to determine how he is related to you?

OK, so using the above chart, here are the answers:

PHOTO ONE

I. Eric Perelman (photo #1), Robin Roger (photo #2) and Joe Kadish (photo #3) are all Second Cousins (2C).

Their common ancestry is great-grandparents Shlomo (Solomon) (Shuster) and Chana (Posner) Solomon.

II. The relationship of Eric's son Zack Perelman and nephew Avi Oler (photo #1) to Robin Roger (photo #2) and Joe Kadish (photo #3) is Second Cousins Once Removed (2C1R).

(A simple tool to understand the genealogy is to silently insert the word "generation" between "once" and "removed".)

III. The relationship of Zack Perelman and Avi Oler (photo #1) and Edward Solomon (photo #2) is Third Cousins (3C).

PHOTO TWO

     Edward Solomon and Robin Roger are Second Cousins Once Removed (2C1R).

     Robin's father Ralph Roger (Rogow) and Edward's grandfather Alex Solomon were First Cousins (1C).

     Edward's father Les Solomon and Robin are Second Cousins (2C) and therefore Edward and Robin are Second Cousins Once Removed (2C1R)

     This is also the SAME DEGREE of relationship (2C1R) that Eric's son Zack Perelman and nephew Avi Oler (photo #1) have to Robin Roger (photo #2).

However there is a stronger link between Edward and Robin, unrelated to age, proximity or geography.
See below.

PHOTO TWO (Reprise)

Edward Solomon and Robin Roger are DOUBLY
Second Cousins Once Removed (2C1R).

Robin and Edward's common SOLOMON ancestry is found with the parents of Harry Solomon and Mary Solomon Rogow, Shlomo and Chana (Posner) Solomon (Shuster) who are Robin Roger's great-grandparents and Edward Solomon's great-great-grandparents.

We noted that Robin's paternal grandmother
Mary(Solomon)Rogow and Edward's paternal great - grandfather Harry Solomon are the Siblings (S) who married the Siblings (S) Benny Rogow and Dora (Rogow) Solomon.

THUS ROBIN ROGER AND EDWARD SOLOMON ALSO SHARE PARALLEL ROGOW ANCESTRY!

Robin's father Ralph Roger (Rogow) and Edward's grandfather Alex Solomon were Double First Cousins (1C).

Robin and Edward's common ROGOW ancestry is found with the parents of Benny Rogow and Dora Rogow Solomon, Isaac (Itzak) and Sarita Atkins Rogow, who are Robin Roger's great-grandparents and Edward Solomon's great-great-grandparents.

And for those careful readers who noted that Dora Rogow Solomon and Benny Rogow's mother Sara Etta's (Sarita) birth surname was Atkins - good for you! Later updates to this site will focus on a number of linked marriages among the Solomon (Shuster), Rogow and Atkins families.
