He may be a descendant of the Minchas Chinuch.
BBL,
How, did the Minchas Chinuch have a daughter with the name Ravkesh?
Miller,
the same way R’ Y. E. Spector can have a son named Rabinowitz.
So you are saying that he had a son Ravkesh?
His father Reb Yaakov Dov was Rav in a town called Chamsk.
The sefer Ariel that you mention in his title is availible online, it is basically on the topic of the new Israeli Clonoies and settelments that started just around then and created the Chovevi Zion movement which this Rav seemed to be a part of.
The Haskomes are also from the Rabonim in that time who were in support of this movement like Rav Rienes from Lida and Rav Mohliver.

is he a descendant of the beer hagolah (on shulchan oruch) whose name was ravkish?
I was there two days ago. His kever is overgrown with greenery and perhaps a tree. Does anyone know if he has relatives here who can address this with the cemetery administration?
YG:
Do you remember the exact location in the cemetery?
Thank you,
Section 3, block 9. You enter the gate marked Chevra Bnei Avraham Anshe East New York and walk almost directly 6 rows back. It is in the middle of a row, covered over by overgrowth, as are a number of matzeivos in that area. Very disturbing scene for a kever, especially for someone who apparently was a great talmid chacham.
Any minchas chinuch descendants named tannenbaum?

Moshe Rivke’s not Ravkesh.
I believe this is my great, great grandfather. My dad is named after him and my grandfather was named after Rav chaim levs father, rav yakov dov. In the sefer ariel he says in the last paragraph that his ancestors with the Maharsha.
