Gerson Ravinson was the son of Yosef Ravinson of Kraslava. I recently found a picture of Gerson in the Jewish Independent from 1906. I have created a Ravinson family tree at Ancestry.com where you can see the picture. I also have various details about Rabbi Gerson Ravinson and his 6 children, which I am happy to share.
