Dear Folks,
I am assisting a friend who of Shepardic Jewish background. His
mother,
Miriam Lurie, claims descent from Isaac ben Solomon Luria (1534-1572), a
famous Kabbalist rabbi, and some kind of kinship with Karl Marx. Royal
descent from the House of David is claimed for Luria.

Any suggestions or referrals?

I am new to Jewish genealogy, however I have been researching
French-Canadian genealogy for ~30 years and am familiar with standards of
proof and historical research. No descent from Adam and Eve here! I can
read
French and Latin and my friend can probably manage Spanish. I use The
Master
Genealogist, among other tools, if anyone has a database they would be
willing to share.

TIA

The Lurias were a medieval rabbinic dynasty. ROTTENBERG, _Dan, Finding Our
Fathers: A guidebook to Jewish genealogy_, Genealogical Publishing Co.,
Inc., (Baltimore, 1998), 0-8063-1151-7, has charts from Rashi, through the
Lurias, Katzenellenbogens and other rabbinic dynasties to the
grt.-gr.-parents of Karl Marx. ROSENSTEIN, Neil, _The Unbroken Chain_, C.
I. S. Communications, Inc, (United States, 1990), 0-9610578-4-8, has many
rabbinic dynasties, as well as the line to Karl Marx, the Countess
Mountbatten of Burma, some Rotschilds and many Chasidic rabbinic dynasties,
as well as, IIRC, the Maharal of Prague. Many of the rabbinic dynasties can
be found in the _Encyclopaedia Judaica_ and _The Jewish Encyclopedia_.
Hope this helps.
Sincerely,
Ford

Thank you kindly for your referrals. I will visit the library this afternoon
