As an example, R. Nosson Adler of Frankfurt was known/ considered to be a descendant of R. Shimon Kara, as was the Adler family in general. The Chief Rabbis Adler of England were aware of and mentioned their descent.<br /><br />In fact, putting the term adler +yalkut into Google yields "Nathan Adler was descended from the 13th century Frankfurt sage, R. Simon Hadarshan-Ashkenasi, the author of Yalkut Shimeoni" and "adler — Family of Kohanim originally from Frankfurt-am-Main, Germany, 18th cent. The name is derived from the eagle on the signboard over the family's house. Tradition traces the family to Simon, author of Yalkut Shimeoni" among others.S.http://onthemainline.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
