Reb Leib Yitzchok was the son-in-law of Reb Yosef Chaim Kagan of Chicago ben Reb Ahron Hacohen the SIL of the Chofetz Chaim.
His father Reb Eluzer Tarshish grew up in the US and went to learn in the Mir, he was a nephew of Reb Yehosha Zelig Tarshish of Kelm Ball Ein Tarshish:

R. Elazar Tarshish was actually a great-nephew of R. Yehoshua Zelig Tarshish of Kelm.
What was the name of the father of reb Elazer Tarshish? There was also a Rabbi Chaim Tzvi Tarshish in Springfield Mass.:

The father of R. Elazar (Halevi) Tarshish was R. Yechiel Shraga Feivish and his father was R. Yitzchak, a brother to R. Yehoshua Zelig.
And the father of Reb Yehoshua Zelig and Reb Yitzchak was Reb Yeshayahu Beinish.
Reb Yechiel Shraga Tarshish was the Meshamahs in the Nusach Ar”i Shul (Chabad) 1243 Washington Ave., he had another son Reb Yeshaya Beinush (named after his father) who was called to become the RY in Torah Vodaas.

Reb Yehoshua Zelig had a son in Washington Hights Reb Eliezer Leib Tarshish who was very instrumental in the field of Kashrus, passed away 1984-5744
“he had another son Reb Yeshaya Beinush (named after his father)” – you mean his grandfather.

I wrote before that Reb Yeshaya Beinish Tarshish (BR Yechiel Shraga) was called upon to become the RY in Torah Vodaas, this was not the case, Reb Yeshaya Beinish was first a talmud of Rav Lavenberg of New Haven and late came to Brooklyn where he learned in Torah Vodaas.
In 1929, the yeshiva was looking for a RY and since his father Reb Yechiel Sraga was affiliated with Lubavitch, Reb Yeshaya Bienish told Reb Yisroel Jacobson from Lubavitch about the opportunity who proposed the position to Reb Moshe Duber Rivkin who became the RY.

I am originally a Tarshish and looking for information on the origins of the Mishpocho (I know they’re a Litvish family but I’m asking even earlier) and where the name comes from.
So there were 3 Tarshish families
In Baltimore there was Reb Peretz who wrote the Sefer Ishim V’sforim B’tosfos, his children were “Rabbi” Jacob Tarshish and Rav Eliezer who was the father of the Rabbi in this post.
There was Reb Yechiel Shraga in the Bronx who had 2 children Rabbi’s. Rav Eliezer who was the one involved in Kashrus and rabbi in Wahington Heights and Rav Yeshaya Beinish who was involved in Lubavitcher Yeshiva.
Then there was the auther of the Sefer Toras Chaim who lived in Springfield MA. I’m not sure exactly how they were exactly related, it seems that Reb Peretz was either the father or brother of Reb Yechiel.
There is a mesora in the family that the Tarshish family traces back to Shmuel hanavi
And then to bnei korach
Where did you hear about that mesorah?
Ben Bee Zee,
R. Elazar who learned in Mir Europe was a son of R. Yechiel Shraga Feivish (ben R. Yitzchak) of the Bronx, a brother to R. Yeshaya Beinish and father of R. Leib Yitzchak.
R. Eliezer of Washington Heights was a son of R. Yehoshua Zelig (brother of R. Yitzchak) of Kelm.
R. Peretz (ben R. Yitzchak) was a brother to R. Yechiel Shraga Feivish.
Not sure how Rabbi Chaim Tzvi Tarshish of Springfield MA was related.
A grandson of Rabbi Yechiel shraga Feivish halevi Tarshish, Rabbi Dovid Kalman Drebin, heard from his grandfather that he was a descendant of the Maharal in two different ways.
