Hello,
I have recently become a Baal teshuva and have been trying to figure out my ancestry on my mothers side. Unfortunately, my grandmother is dying and grew up religious. She does not remember exactly the where abouts of her parents and grandparents so much, but what she did tell me is we are related to a Rav kleinberg in PA. How do I figure out if this is him?
Thank you!
Allie

Welcome aboard, we just learned that there where Baali Teshuvah get to stand in heaven, even the biggest Tzadikim could not get, Chazak!
What do you know about your ailing grandmother, what was her maiden name, where was she born etc. maybe we can help you find your roots.
I know someone of the family of Rabbi Kleinberg who has done extensive research on the family, she might be able to help you.
