Abraham Hamel(n), son of Joseph Jobst Hameln-Goldschmidt and Freude Fradchen SPANIER
Married 1646 to:
Soelka Boas, daughter of Raw Chaim Boas and Sarah
Excerpts from Glueckl's diary

"...it was also a pleasure to know his children (the children of Gl?ckl's father-in-law, rvk). When his eldest son Moses...

left for his own marriage he was accompanied by the learned Rabbi Moses and a servant known as 'Shot Jacob'. He had his dowry with him. When they neared Bremervorde they were attacked by thieves, robbed of all they had and all three were left dang erously wounded. They were brought into the town...The doctors said that the bridegroom and Rabbi Moses would live but that the servant was mortally wounded. After two days Jacob was alive and the other two had died...
I knew the other son...
..
When very young he was sent to Poland to study...He became the bridegroom of the daughter of Reb Chaim Boas of Posen...When war with Chmelnicki broke out (1648-1654, rvk)...he and his wife and daughter fled...to the house of my father-in-law. Th e birth of this daughter was a miracle. For seventeen years his wife was barren. When his mother-in-law was about to die, she summoned her daughter, this Abraham's wife...after her death my sister-in-law Sulka

became pregnant and in due time gave birth to a daughter whom she named Sarah,

after her mother. Seven years later she bore a son, Samuel..."

this confirms all the relationships.
it only says that Sulka's father was Chaim Boas of Posen, and her mother was Sara
assuming that Samuel was born in 1670, it would follow that Sara was born in 1663 and that Abraham and Sulka married in 1646
it also follows that Sulka's mother Sara died around 1663

1) Sara HAMELN, birth 1663

2) Samuel GOLDSCHMIDT, birth 1670 to:
Hannah Goldschmidt-Hameln, daughter of Chaijim Hameln-Goldschmidt and Glikl Glueckel Hameln
