I am researching my great-grandfather, whose name in Yiddish was Avram Akiva HaKohen
-- or in Russian Kaganovich or Kahanovich. I believe he attended the Volozhin
Yeshiva in the 1870s. I have come upon a list of Volozhin Yeshiva students >from 1879
with one Abram Itsko Kagan (this is translated >from the Cyrillic script). Could this
be my great-grandfather? Is there any relation between the names Itsko and Akiva?
