Rabbi Isaacson was an active member in the committee for the “Ezras Torah” fund, here is a letter from him:

My great grandfather is the Rebbe Israel Isaacson born 1850 died in America around 1922 pictured above, from Koidanov. His wife Mollie Israelite, my grandfather was one of 7 boys (4 killed in pogroms) his name was Morris (Moses, Moishe). She was his second wife perhaps he was married previously to her sister Ruth, his first wife died. However, he had older children by the names of Saul and/or Shlomo whom we believe emmigrated to Israel. Please feel free to contact me emailtoclaire@yahoo.com.
I found lots of information just days ago. Including a huge family tree in Israel. His brother is mentioned below in an article Zevil Heivish (or Heivush) I believe his first name or is Shmuel Zavil Heivush in Israel, the article below from a person that lived in the town of Koidnav writes extensively about it and mentions Zavil Heivish going to Kfar Yechezel a moshav farming community in Israel. when I check the website Geni there is family information that is undoubtedly ours including the name of the same moshav. My grandfather Morris used to speak of the farm in Israel that his family had, his uncle, and that at the time they grew oranges. Please contact me as I want to link our family trees.
