Note: *ancestors listed on Jewish Encyclopedia below are disputed by some & under review: Nathan Spira, cabalistic author who had a son (?) who had a son Nathan (Nata) Spira or Nathan Neta Eybeschuetz ( - 1702 Elbenschitz, Moravia) whose son is Yonasan (Jonathan) above *see Spira page Group-2, which may have the same Nathan Spira, possible grandfather of Yonasan?
Note: JE: Jonathan, German rabbi and Talmudist; born in Cracow about the year 1690; died in Altona Sept. 18, 1764. His father, Nathan (Nata), who was a grandson of the cabalistic author Nathan Spira, was called as rabbi to Elbenschitz, Moravia, about 1700, where he died about 1702.. Jonathan was then sent to the yeshibah of Meïr Eisenstadt, who was then rabbi of Prossnitz, and later to the yeshibah of Holleschau, where a relative, Eliezer ha Levi Oettingen, was rabbi. After the latter's death (1710) Eybeschütz went to Vienna, where Samson Wertheimer intended to marry him to his daughter. He thence went to Prague, where he married Elkele, daughter of Rabbi Isaac Spira; and later on he resided two years at Hamburg in the house of Mordecai ha-Kohen, his wife's maternal grandfather. About 1714 he returned to Prague, where he became preacher, probably in succession to Asher Spira, who died in that year OR see article by descendant Jonathan Chipman OR his Kerati U'phlaite book description, mentionig an uncle R. Eliezer ha-Levi Ettinger, likely same person as Eliezer ha Levi Oettingen mentioned in JE above and on JE for Hayyim Judah Löb Ettinger, Austrian rabbi; died in 1739; son of Eliezer ha-Levi Lichtenstein Ettinger. He succeeded his father in the rabbinate of Holleschau and in the directorate of its Talmudical school, which was at that time one of the most important in Moravia, and at which his brother, the author of "Edut be-Yosef" (Sulzbach, 1761), was a pupil.. ..his brother-in-law, Hayyim Cohen Rapaport, rabbi of Lemberg OR Jonathan on Chabad
