Edward G. Cohen asked:
I came across a reference to 'Otzer Ha Rabanim' a data base of Rabbis in eastern Europe. If anyone knows where this source can be acquired I would be most appreciative. ----------- "Otsar Harabbanim" is compendium of over 20,000 rabbis. It's format is by personal name, but there is a surname index. Each person has a code for cross reference. Information included is father's name, father-in-law, sons and sons-in-law, dates, places and books written. The book was published in 1975 in Israel. The author was Rabbi Natan Tsvi Friedman (dec.) The book is available in libraries in Israel but I can't help with overseas libraries. NB. While an excellent reference source, there are errors.
