  Any relationship to the Rav Avroham Yosef Ziv listed (page 126) as the magid of the Chevra Talmud Torah Anshei Yagustava on 38 Hester Street?

  It worked when I tried it (just in case here it is again), you have to scroll down a bit.

  Here is the information that I received about Rav Yosef Zev Ziv, from a family relation that is researching the family.
  His father was R’ Meir Wolpert from Kelem. (The name change is due to army problems). His mother was a daughter of Rav Eliezer Guttman who was the Rav of Kelem (passed away in תקצ”א – 1831). His sister Gittel was the wife of Reb Nosson Tzvi Finkel from Slabodka.
  He came to the US, and served as a Marbitz torah in NY. One Shabbos he came home from a drashah not feeling well, and a day or two later he passed away.
  His wife Toibe died a few years later in Norfolk Virginia
  He has some descendants who are researching their roots, and this site helped them find his grave!
  Keep up the good work!!

  Curios:
  Good work, any additional information on my original question?
  Thank you,

  If the name was originally Wolpert, I don’t think there’s any reason to assume that he was related to any other Zivs. The name Ziv was actually pretty common in Lithuania. The Alter of Kelem also changed from Broida to Ziv.

  Rabbi Stern, are you maybe referring to Reb Avroham Yosef Shiff who’s kever is posted on this site?

  For your interest, R’ Yosef Zev had a few brothers in America. One of them was called R’ Moshe Tzvi Wolpert. He lived in Chicago, and passed away in תרצ”ב – 1932.
  Another two seemingly were in the NY area. One was Mendel (and in English Mason). Family name unknown, as I wrote above, they changed their names (besides for Moshe Tzvi who kept the original name Wolpert. If anyone has any details about him or the other brother (possibly Yehuda), please post.

  1)”The Alter of Kelem also changed from Broida to Ziv.”
  His mother was a Ziv and he took her family name.

  Moshe, are you related to Reb Yosef Zev Siw who’s kever is pictured above?

  BTW, in the link you posted it says that the Alter of Kelm’s FIL was Reb Mordechai, which is a mistake – his name was Reb Yisroel.
  You can see a picture of his wife’s grave here: http://toladot.blogspot.com/2011/01/blog-post_23.html.
