IGRA (Israel Genealogy Research Association) has posted a new article
on its website- "Yagolnitzer Connection -- Part 1+, by Jeffrey

Kamenetz Podolsk in the SW of Czarist Russia and adjacent areas that
have shifted in sovereignty between Romania, Russia, the USSR, and now
independent Moldova and Ukraine. It includes information attempting to
reestablish lost connections between members of this family, known by
at least four surname variants -- Egolnitzer, Iegelnitzer, Yagolnitzer
and Jagolinzer.

There are to the best of my knowledge no historical sources for this
legendary "grandmothers stories" ("Bobe Mayses" in Yiddish). This
ahistorical story is cultivated and cherished usually for the purpose
of "Yichus". There are only a very few Polish historical sources
mentioning a rich Jew, Saul Wahl, in Polish Saul Judicz, who had
business transactions with the Polish nobility of his time including
the Polish king, nothing else than that. The father of the history
of the Jews in Poland, Prof. Meyer Balaban, has published a short
article about Saul Wahl Katzenellenbogen.
