הוא צאצא להרבה רבנים וגדולים, אומנם יחוסו לבעל השארית יוסף, הוא בן אחר בן.

הוא נין נכד להרבה רבנים וגדולים, אך היחוס לשארית יוסף, הוא בן אחר בן.
יחוסו מפורט בשער של ספרי אביו.

Here are his seforim: http://www.hebrewbooks.org/2206

His father was very famous in Russia – the “Minchas Shabbos”. I think R’ Meir was the youngest son.

His son R’ Chaim Zalman Cohen lives in Lawrence, NY, and authored a sefer on Brachos and Sukkah – “Maadanei Chaim”.
