Was he related to Rav Eiser Paley, who served as Rav of the Heights Jewish Center in Cleveland?
האם יש קשר לרבי הירש פאליי, המשגיח בישיבת חברון?
It looks from here:
http://www.hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=12107&pgnum=37
that he was a talmid of Reb Burech Ber of Kamentiz.
He had a son R’ Eliezer who served as a Rov in chicago for many years. He eventually moved to Boro Park in his old age when his wife went to a nursing home. He ate at my parents’ home every Thursday night. He was a great masmid and a Talmid of many great Roshei Yeshiva i.e. R’ Boruch Ber, R’ Aaron Kotler, R’ Y.C. Sonnenfeld and Rav Kook. He passed away on 13th of Tishrei either in 5742 or 5743
I’m the daughter of Zvi Hersch Paley, his father was Zalman Paley youngest of I believe 9 sisters. From Klerk & Baranovitch. Paley/ Ginsberg. My understanding is that many cousins and family moved to the USA and Palestine in the early 1900’s and the 20s. Lives, rabbinical families. Related through marriage to Feinstein / Cutler/ solevetchik. Maybe that might be in Europe, not sure.
