Biographical Notes:
Rav Eisenstadt studied at the Yeshiva of Minsk. It is unclear if Rav the attended Rav Shlomo Glovenchitz yeshiva in Minsk, the same yeshiva that Rav Aaron Kotler and Rav Reuven Grozovsky attended. The Rav was a descendant of Rav Meir Eisenstadt (1670-1744) also known as the Panim Me’irot after his major work called Shu”t Panim Me’irot.

Interesting Rav in NY & buried in CT,

I am curious if and how he is a descendant from the Maharam Ash the Panim Meiros.
They were more-less Hunagrain not Lithuanian

Miller: The Netziv, Rav Chaim Brisker and Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer are all descended form the Panim Meiros.
R’ Baruch was a Kohen but was the Panim Meiros a Kohen? The Shar Blatt doesn’t say that.
He is mentioned in the Dorot Hachronim from Ben-zion Eisenstadt.

Farshlufen:
Let me be the first of the regulars to welcome you aboard. That said, why would you think that a book written by Bentzion Eisenstadt was written by Baruch Eisenstadt?
blackleibel:
The Maharam Ash was not a kohen, perhaps our Rav Eisenstadt adopted his mothers or grandmothers last mane???
somebody wrote: “I am curious if and how he is a descendant from the Maharam Ash the Panim Meiros.

Actually, he was neither – I believe he was born in Poznan, Poland & his family had no connection to Hungary until he became Rav of Eisenstadt.
Need any information on my grandparents Cemetery. HEBREW MUTUAL-BACK OF CEMETRY.

The father of Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer was R’Baruch Peretz Eisenstadt.
Does anyone know how the name Eisenstadt become Meltzer?
I know of two sources that list Rav Isser Zalman’s yichus on the Eisenstadt side going all the way back to the Panim Meiros.
On page 30-31 of ืืืจื ืขืฅ ืืืืื by ืจื ืืืขืื ืืืฆืจ he shows the original page that R. Isser Zalman (shortly before he passed away) wrote for his niece (Rebbetzin Shach) that contained the yichus.
Also in Yeshurun Vol. 33 pp.460-461 a letter from Rav Isser Zalman is printed from several months earlier (upon the birth of his grandson R. Meir Kotler) that contains the same yichus.
In each, the five generations from the Panim Meiros down to Rav Moshe Yaakov (Rav of Kletzk) are based upon ืกืคืจ ืืขืช ืงืืืฉืื. The next three generations (Rabbis Baruch, Yaakov and Baruch Peretz) are supplied by Rav Isser Zalman himself.
Each of the above sources is unclear as to which generation the Meltzer surname began in this line of the family.

This contains a page of ืืชื ืื from ืฉื ืืืืืืื ืืฉืืืฉื by R. Moshe Markovitz from over 100 years ago where at least according to him, R. Moshe Yaakov of Kletzk still carried the surname Eisenstadt (ืืืืืื ืฉืืื).
