Harav R’ Shlomo zalmen, Rav of Kehal Toldos ahron in Wmsbg.
Harav R’ Usher Anshil, Viener Rav.
His SIL Rabbi Pollack of Staten Island.
You can see on his Matzeive that he was also Dayn in Makeve, Hungary. That is because he was the SIL of the Dayan Rabbi Chaim Leib Deitch (Father of Reb Yehoshua of Katamon, Jeruslem).

From mother side, he was grandson of the Szilagysomlyo Rav R’ Shlomo Zalmen Ehrenreich.
