I am trying to tie my great grandfather Samuel Reines to the great Rabbi Yitzhak Yaacov Reines. I know that Samuel's parents were Benjamin and Gitel Cohen Reines. There is a family tree on Ancestry that shows Benjamin as a son of Wolf Zeev Reines and if that were to be true, I would have my linkage. the lineage shown above does not include Benjamin as one of Wolf Zeev's children. Can any of you help me with this? All help is appreciated.

I have had a look now and on my tree which is run by 'Geni', they don't appear to be from Yitzchak Yaacov Reines..
However, there must be a link, even if it does not appear as 'Reines' 'Ryness' are all the same family and to my limited knowledge, it is not a usual surname. It was assumed as a family name after 'reines', the first name of the wife of the Rav, as she was a known Tzadekess, and the family continued using it in tribute to her.

My mother did have a cousin in London called Samuel Ryness.
