Strictly speaking, this is a chart rather than a family tree. It shows the different families which I have identified as being, in some way, connected to Hyman/Henry Miller and therefore to his grandson David Miller.

It will be seen that same first names are frequently repeated over the various families. The JewishGen.org explains:

Ashkenazic Jews of Eastern Europe had a strong tradition that mandated that a baby be named after a deceased relative.

It is important to understand that this is a tradition and is not codified in Jewish law.

A baby was typically named for a grandfather or grandmother.

Generally the child was named for the closest deceased relative for whom no one else in that immediate family was already named.

Highest priority goes to the child’s mother if she had died in childbirth, or the father, if he had died before the baby was born.

If any of the four grandparents were deceased a baby would be named after one of them; otherwise the great-grandparents or perhaps a sibling of one of the parents.

During the 19th century in Eastern Europe a girl was typically named after a female relative, a boy after a male relative.

Usually a baby was not given the same name as a sibling who had previously died although some cases of this have been seen.

Ashkenazim (Jews from Eastern Europe) do not name babies after living relatives.
 
 

Before looking at the chart, please read these instructions and then scroll down to the chart. link.

• Rolling the mouse wheel inside the shaded area changes zoom; rolling the mouse wheel outside the shaded area, or when at the limits of zoom, scrolls the page (sorry).
• A navigation thumbnail appears in the lower left corner when the mouse is hovering over any part of the tree. Move the mouse away from the tree area (eg to the tabs at the top of the screen) to make the navigation thumbnail disappear. The shaded area on the navigation thumbnail indicates which part of the tree is currently visible. Initially, this will be most of it but as you zoom in, the shaded area will shrink. You can click-drag the tree to pan about or else you can click on any part of the navigation thumbnail to go to that part of the tree.
