My great great grandfather is Rabbi Moshe Yisroel Shapiro. You have a picture of his grave on your website.
Do you have any additional information you can share with me?
Thanks and all the best.

Now it becomes even more interesting, it seems like there were 2 Shapiro Rabbonim in the Ilyer Shul, but it also seems that they were unrelated since he Reb Moshe Yisroel was a Cohen and http://kevarim.com/rebbe-shlomo-zalman-shapiro/ was not.
Reb Shlomo Zalman passed away in 1915 but by then he was already a rabbi in Bronsville so when was he in the Ilyer Shul?

Rabbi Schapiro was first Rosh Yeshiva in his home town Ilia, he came to the US on the invitation of the Ilia Kehila that was then organized in NYC.
He also served on the RIETS, but passed ayay at a young age of 62.
It seems that they didnt even have his fathers name to engrave on the Matzeive

From Eisenstiens Diary Otzar Zichronoisie about the Yeshiva RYE (RIETS):
“והם שומעים שיעורים בכל יום מראש הישיבה ר’ משה ישראל שפירא והמשגיח התמידי ר’ נחום דן מסלוצק”

You can find out some more info re: Rav Nachum Dan Baron (The RIETS Mashgiach) by searching Google/Web and Google/Books for either “Nahum Dan” or “Nachum Dan”.
