“18. Dem Reb Shneur Zalman’s niggun” is known as Niggun Habesht. (not from the Besh”t himself, but sung in his presence). maybe the maskil got mixed up between the Baal Shem Tov and the Alter Rebbe (many of these maskilim came from chabad families).

A Gute Voch
Thank you for clearing up the history behind the identity of R’ Shmuel Halprin.
Would be amazing if you can do a follow up article about the identy of mendel berlin. He sings some unknown nigunim heard from his zaide reb scheur. Some of them definitely are chabad style nigunim (nigun number 11 is actually called “Khabadnitse” – assume it means it’s a nigun avoide, sung in a “chabadnitze”).
[Mendel Berlin cannon be reb yeshaye berlin’s son (even though reb yeshaye’s shver was R’ Schneur (grandson of mitteler rebbe and son in law of TT)), because R’ Yeshaye did not have children].
