   Rabbi Markel’s wife Rose was my great-grandfather’s sister. Can anyone help translate that bio of the rabbi in Hebrew posted above?

   As far as I know, he lived in either Grajewo or Szczuczyn, Poland until around 1921. There had been a big exodus of the family around the turn of the century and then another one after WWI.

    There are interesting letters from Rav Marcel in the back of the second volume of Rav Hirschenson’s Sefer on Horayos.
    Someone is currently working to reprint the Binas Nevonim
