Many Thanks,
Now has anyone got them in their tree    LOL
My aunt married into Best family, that of Louis's brother Abraham Best.

The Best family is in my tree, but not blood relations. One of Louis and Golda's sons married my 1st cousin twice removed! Have been doing a little research on the family for her granddaughter which is how I've come across your post.
