[edit] About Jewish Pedigree

Minz, Mintz is a Jewish pedigree.

Minz/Mintz, Minzi is a family of rabbis and scholars, deriving its name from the town of Mayence/Mainz and founded in the 16th century. The family tree is as follows See image:

Judah b. Eliezer ha-Levi Minz/Judah Minz (Minzi), the progenitor of the most prominent branch of the family, settled, or was born, in Italy in the 15th century. His cousin Moses b. Isaac ha-Levi Minz (Minzi) was a rabbi in Germany. The name "Minz", however, appears to have been borne by others in Italy who were not related to Judah Minz; for Joseph Colon (Responsa, No. 2) speaks of Joshua and Solomon, sons of an Abraham Minz who had formerly lived under the Duke of Milan and then removed to another town in Lombardy in order to avoid paying his part of the 13,000 gold pieces which the Jews of Milan had pledged themselves to pay the duke. Asher b. Perez Minz of Naples was related, perhaps, to the German branch of the Minz family. The last known direct male descendant of Judah Minz was Moses b. Isaac Menahem Minz, a descendant in the 4th generation.

At the beginning of the 16th century the Minz family of Padua united with that of Katzenellenbogen through the marriage of the daughter of Abraham ben Judah Minz to Meïr Katzenellenbogen of Padua. The descendants of this alliance emigrated afterward to Germany and then to Russia, and Zeeb Wolf b. Isaac, in Russia, a descendant of the 10th generation, assumed the name of Minz. From him is descended the present family of Minz.
