Shaul Morgenstern would be my Great-Uncle. He was married to Mirel who is the sister to my Great-grandfather Nathan Rabinowitz. I am trying to get more info on my Great-grandfather. Would someone be kind enough to transcribe the stone for me. Also I notice it appears my Great-Aunt is buried next to him. I would love to have the inscription from her stone as well. Thank you!

Nehemia, I was told by my great-uncles that their father, Nathan Rabinowitz, was a Katzenellenbogan and was adopted by a Rabinowitz to keep from being conscripted into the Russian army. I have letters etc but I have never been able to find the connection. Do you know Leora? I guess the only way to really know would be DNA testing. Have you had your DNA tested? It would certainly be interesting.
BenBee Zee,
So I’m still trying to figure out the mystery of my GGF Nathan Rabinowitz. Was he really a Katzenellenbogan as all the Rabinowitz relatives suggest? If so, I would love to have documentation. Can you help me? Would there be documentation in this book Megillah? And how do I access this book? I have to wonder if my GGF was a fraud. I know he was from Simferopol. How do I get documentation of the name change? Thank you!
Jaynie Simmons, thank you so much!

Paula- considering the fact that Rabbi Moshe Katzenellenbogen mentions Nachum Avigdor by name in Ohel Moshe and identifies him as his son, it seems legitimate
