Jechiel "The Posek" Ben Matityahu Ashkenazi Treves (TREVES), יחיאל טרבס-אשכנזי, הפוסק - Rashi grandson - Jechiel "The Posek" Ashkenazi Treves ?

RYbM is said to have died young, leaving four children. His wife is then said to have remarried Yehuda of Paris and had more children.

ie.

Rashi's daughter, Jochaved BAT SALOMON (b. 1065 Troyes, France) married Rabbi Hayashish Meir ben Samuel (b. 1065 Mainz, Germany, d. 1135).

Their children:

* RIBAM (Rabbi Isaac II ben Meir) (b. Ramerupt, d. Regensburg, Germany)
* Hanah or Hanale(b. 1080) married Shmuel ben Simcha.
* Yaakov (Rabbenu TAM) (b. 1096 Ramerupt, France, d. 9 Jun. 1171 Troyes, France) m. Miriam bat Yosef. Yaakov remarried.
* Shlomo
* Miriam m. ??? son of Simcha ben Samuel.
* RASHBAM (Shmuel) (b. 1080 Ramerupt, France, d. 1158)

After Isaac ll ben Meir (RYbM/RIBAM)'s early death, his wife remarried Yehudah of Paris (b. 1115).

Then,

1. RIBAM'S DAUGHTER:
- RYbM/RIBAM's daughter married Rabbi Jechiel Treves, the Posek (d. 1189 Paris), who was the son of Rabbi Matityahu Hagadol Treves (d. 1150).

2. YEHUDA OF PARIS's DAUGHTER:
-the daughter of Yehuda of Paris married Rabbi Matityahu TREVES (ASHKENAZI)*, who may also have subsequently married the daughter (or maybe just descendant...) of Rabbi Isaac BEN MEIR (RIBAM).

* MATITYAHU TREVES ll (ASHKENAZI)
- Rabbi Matityahu TREVES (ASHKENAZI), II (b. 1115) [son of Yom Tov who was (b. 1090, d. ca. 1140 Paris)and the grandson of Miriam and Judah ben Nathan (b. 1065 Mainz, d. ca. 1105) ]

Does this seem right? It came from a Templar source when I queried this issue on Google.

(1) Does anyone have talmudic references to help sort out the issues raised in the first posting? ie. On the definitive ancestry of the wife, father and
mother of Jechiel "The Posek" Ashkenazi Treves?

(2) Isaac [Ribam / RYbM / RIBAM / RIVAM (Rabbi Isaac II ben Meir)] died young, and according to some sources had four children, but in "Rashi", by Maurice Liber he is said to have had 7 children.

ie. 4 sons, or 7 children?

(3) Did his widow, Jochebed, remarry into Rashi's family and have more children?

(4) After her death, did Jochebed's second husband marry back into Jochebed & RIBAM's branch?

The Tree branches surrounding Rashi's profile, especially the Treves, Kalonimus etc. have long been in a mess. Merges of wrong Matityahus, Yehudas etc. and mixing generation descendants of RIBAN and RIBAM have caused the accumulation of numerous errors. At a time, several of us tries to stop this "flood" of wrong merges by blocking key profiles - apparently with only moderate success. I believe that so far we managed to control the generations from Rashi's grandparents to his grandchildren. Generations further down the Tree deserve careful validation and correction.
