Did he have any childer?
He defiantly had a daughter, because there is a Rabbi Yeruchom buried in Wellwood and on his matzeiva it says that he was a SIL of the Rebbe.
The Rebbe’s brother Rebbe Aryeh Mordechai the Shinever Krakow Rebbe is buried in the Sanzer Ohel (in Sanzs) along side his father Rebbe Moshelea after suddenly passing away while visiting. The Rebbe was the SIL of Rebbe Yisroel Yaakov of Volove (a descendant of the Yismach Moshe).
The yartziet is tomorrow anyone going?
Interesting matzeivoh right next to the rebbe.

Asher,
Very interesting, it is mentioned that the name “Derech Yisroel” for a higway (?) between Tzfas and Miron is named after him.
I find two children of his;
1) Binyumin Kenigsberg and lawer
2) Yisuucher Dov Kenigsberg
It was a famous family in the East side of very rich people they were Shinover Chasidim and they gave a lot of Tzedaka
Anyone has a picture of him?
חד מהסיבות שייסדו והקימו חד מהארגעניזאציעס של הרביים,
היה סמיכות הנטמנים דלעיל.
A few more pictures of the Shiniver Chelka.

David Lander is the father of the late Dr. Bernard Lander, founder of Touro College.
Sholomo Sklar שו”ב – not sure if this part is included into the Shiniv or else he’s buried adjacently.
הבחור יהודה ליב בן צבי יפפע – would appreciated any info on him.

Is from Reb Itzikel Gevirtzman the Pshevorsker Rebbe’s family.
Hi everyone, including Asher. Yisroel Koenigsberg, who gave the money to build Derech Yisroel (and for whom the road was named) was my grandfather. He has many many descendents. My father, Isaac Koenigsberg, had 5 siblings: Annie, Augusta, Benjamin, Joshua and Herman (aka Haim). It is a very large family and I have a lot of cousins, mainly in Israel.
My grandfather and grandmother are buried next to the Rebbe, along the footpath beside his tomb.
Kever of the Rebbe’s grandfather, Rebbe Yechezkel Shraga Halberstam, Shinever Rov located in Sieniawa, Poland.
Ben Bee Zee mentioned R’ Eluzer Gewirtz from R’ Itzikel Pshevorsker’s family, yes, he was his uncle (brother of R’ Itzikel’s father R’ Naftule Elimelech).
Where is this R’ Eluzer Gewirtz’s kever? Why does Ben Bee Zee metion it ?
an interesting unknown fact i just discovered through Ellis Island records that the Rebbe came here twice, once in 1923 and returned then again in 1936.
Eluzer Gewirtz is buried in Union Field. (I believe in the Shiniever Section)
Are you sure its the same person or perhaps a relative with the same name?
The Picture of the matzaivah says he was nifter Leil Vov D’ Chanukah which is not 29th of Kislev, would be either 30 of Kislev or Aleph Teves
