    He had 4 children, 8 grandchildren. I am one of his grandchildren (via his son Yosef). His entire works are being republished by the American Jewish Legacy (http://www.ajlegacy.org/projects-4). The republication was in the page proof stage as of 3 months ago.

    Eric – what do make of the following excerpt from p. 7 of your grandfather’s Doros HaAcharonim (1937) which can be found at http://www.hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=2265&st=&pgnum=7
    בני המשכיל היקר כמ׳ מאיר נ״י ממינסק ברוסיא, בני ההכם השלם כמ׳ משה נ״י, שגמר חק למודו בבי״מ החכמה נויארק סיטי קוליג, בתי הבתולה המשכלת מ׳ חיה דבורה תחיה, בני המשכיל היקר כמ׳ יוסף נ״י, ובני המשכיל היקר כמ׳ אברהם ישראל נ״י
    It lists 5 children: Meir, Moshe, Chaya Devora, Yosef (your father), Avraham Yisroel (Prof. Abraham Eisenstadt of Brooklyn College)
