Abie (Abba) Friedman:
Great-grandfather Chaim-Avigdor Friedman lived in Grodno. When the Grodno landowner moved his Jewish tenant farmers from Grodno to his estates in Abel (Obeliai), Chaim-Avigdor also moved with them.
Chaim-Avigdor married his first wife Sarah-Beile (a widow with two children: Abba –Abtchik and Berl-Bertchik[1] from her first husband Friedman? Shapiro?) and they had two children: Yehuda and Moshe.
Being a widower Chaim-Avigdor Friedman married his second wife, Henne-Zelde, who was a widow with five children (from her first husband Moshe Katz [son of Yitzchak]): Chaya-Mine, Sore-Beile, Shmuel-Chatzkel[2], Mendel [who changed his family name to Kaffenhaus] and Yaacov [who changed his family name to Charit – the first letters of “Chatan Rabbi Yitzchak Tabatchnik” (son-in-law of Rabbi Yitzchak Tabatchnik)]. Yaacov was known by the name Yaacov Charit-Katz.
Moshe Friedman (son of Chaim-Avigdor and Sarah-Beile) and his wife Sarah lived in Libava (Liepaja, Latvia). They had three children: Rachel-Rochl, Rivka and Sonia.
Bertchik (step-son of Chaim-Avigdor Friedman) and his wife Chaya-Mine [Katz] (step-daughter of Chaim-Avigdor Friedman) lived in Abel and they had six children:
Sarah-Beile (who married her cousin Zalmen Charit, the son of Yaacov Charit-Katz);
Shlomo (who married Tzipe Fleisch);
Chaim-Avigdor (who married Sarah Rabinowitz);
Zusl (he and his wife had three children: Anne, Lenart and Victor);

Musel.
Musel [Friedman] and her first husband, Kalman-Avraham Zeidlin (from Druye), had four children: Micha, Aharon, Freidl and Hanna.
Musel's second husband was her cousin, the widower Chatzkel Charit-Katz (son of Yaacov Charit-Katz).
They lived in Podzelva (Zelva), and they had two children: Menachem-Mendke and Yaacov.
Chatzkel Charit-Katz had six children with his first wife Rivka Baruch: Sonia, Leah, Moshe, Raphael, Yehuda and Yitzchak.
Sore-Beile, the daughter of Henne-Zelde [Katz], married Chanoch-Henech Chatzkel. They lived in Dusiat and had five children:
Moshe (who married Chasya Margalit, from Shadove [Seduva]);
Riva-Leah (who married Meir Charit, the son of Yaacov Charit-Katz);
Chaya-Tzipe (who married Emanuel Slep);
Rachel-Rochl (who married Eliyahu Orlin);
Freidl (who married Yosef Levitt).
Yehuda Friedman (the son of Sarah-Beile and Chaim-Avigdor), was married twice. With his first wife Musha, he had one daughter, Chaya (who married Gordon).
His second wife was Chaya-Musel Rabinowitz, and they had ten children:
