POLONSKY Lineage Descending from Rabbi Pinchas of Koretz #rabbinic
I am searching for information on the POLONSKY ancestral line descending
The only descendants that I know of are >from a single ancestral line,
represented by their son R' Aharon, their grandson R' Eliahu Pinchas, their
great-grandson, R' Menachem Nachum, their 3rd-great-grandson, R' Abraham
Yitchak Polonsky (1850-1899), and their 4th-great-grandson, R' Shimshon
Aharon Polonsky, which is the well-documented lineage that is cited in the
Unbroken Chain.
I am especially interested in identifying any additional descendants in this
lineage, particularly those of the brothers in each generation. I believe
that it is a branch of this is the lineage that my great-great-grandfather,
Aharon Duvid Polonsky (b. 1838) of Shpola was descended from. His son, my
great-grandfather, was Menachem Nachum Polonsky. The Hebrew inscription on
his tombstone states him to be a descendant of Rabbi Pinchas of Koretz.
Another way of asking the question would be: "who were all of the sons and
grandsons of Rabbi Eliahu Pinchas?" Any information on Rabbi Pinchas'
descendants in the POLONSKY lineage that anyone can provide would be greatly
appreciated.
