Dear Talmid
If you have more of the Genealogy around Yisroel Zak of Kureslov, please share with me. I also had an Israel Zak born around 1835. I am courrious about the connection to Mechel Me Zlotchov and wonder if You have more names between Yisroel and Mechel? What means Ben acher ben? Son after Son? Grandson? Greatgrandson or What?
All the best from P.Yair Israel
