Hi Angie, I have a Yekutiel in my tree (not a COHEN though) - in Ashkenazi Hebrew this would have been Yekusiel; the 'secular' name was Ksyle, and I believe that in Yiddish he would have been 'Kissel'. His name was carried on through a granddaughter called Cecelia.

Richard hi, Ther thing is that there were many grandsons and to the best of my knowledge, none of them carried that Hebrew name.   However, I will try and check that idea out. Thanks.
