According to his daughter, Sonia, he was "from Lodz," but we do not know where in Poland he was born. According to his grandson, Moyses, he could not travel with his parents and siblings when they went to the US, because he had an eye disease. He emigrated instead to Brazil in 1925, with his sons Enrique (Herman) and Bernardo. He stayed a short time in Curitiba, Brazil, and then went back to Poland. He returned to Brazil in 1935 with the rest of his family (Sonia, Silvio, and Benjamin), exept for Marcos (who was in the military) and Samuel (who was married).

According to his granddaughter, Phillis Bilsky Wolk: "His name was Charles, but he thought it was fancy to have a middle name, so he added the Herman himself, and liked to be called "C.H." and had that on his grocery store sign."
According to his granddaughter, Phillis Bilsky Wolk: "My grandfather Charles was born in Clarksville, Tennessee and did lots of odd jobs as a teenager. When he got married to Bessie Dattel, they moved to Sunflower, Mississippi, to open a dry goods store. They then moved to Paris, Tennessee to open another dry goods store. (Issy and Toby were born there.) Then they moved back to Clarksville and opened a department store. (Ruben and Celia born there.) Then they moved to Forest City, Arkansas, and opened dry goods and a scrap yard. Uncle Issy ran the Scrap, and Dad [Ruben] and Uncle Toby ran the dry good then grocery store. The boys went into the army and, after the war, moved to Memphis, Tennessee. 'Papa' retired and moved to Memphis so Aunt Celia could meet Jewish boys. Papa then had some properties. (I used to go with him as a child to collect rents.) The true wandering Jews!"
According to his great-granddaugher, Phillis Bilsky Wolk: He first moved from Poland to England. He came to the United States and sent for this three older children later. He first settled in Clarksville, Tennessee, and then moved to Stuttgart, Arkansas.
According to his nephew Moyses Resnitzky, Benjamin came to Brazil with his parents in 1935, when he was 13. The youngest son, Benjamin was the only child to study in the university, where he became a "communist leader." Because of the strong anti-communist political situation in Brazil in 1952 (and because he was still a Polish citizen), he was jailed and extradited. Instead of going to France, however, Benjamin decided to return to Poland, where he was a radio and tv journalist. Because of the antisemitism there, he went to Viet Nam with the Polish delegation and lived in Saigon during the late 1950's. He later returned to Poland, where for a long time he was Chief of the Radio Warsaw short wave broadcast in Spanish to Latin American countries. He had problems with the Polish Government when the Solidarity movement started and was once close with to Lech Walesa. Although he thought about leaving Poland, his wife Wanda did not agree. After he retired, he gave Iberian Culture lessons at the Warsaw University.

According to his niece, Sofia Przybylski Andel, when Chaskiel left for Argentina, Anni stayed behind in Poland "waiting for the 'call', the only way that she would emigrate to my country. But, in the meantime started the II World War and Anni was taken to the camps and was murdered there."
According to Lena's nephew, Bernardo (in Brazil), Herman and Lena Seibel were "German" (or very close) cousins. We still do not know for sure how they were related; that is, who their common ancestor was. We believe that Yitzhak Yosef, Herman's father, was actually Yecheskal Seibel's son. As of now, we have no documentation to prove it. However, if Yecheskal was actually the father, then Herman and Lena would have been first cousins once removed. If instead Yitzhak Yosef's father was a brother of Yecheskal, then they would have been second cousins once removed, not "very close."
According to son Robert, Sophie celebrated her birthday on December 17, although it was actually probably closer to December 25, "but she did not like competing with Xmas."
