Hi,
Can anyone explain to me which of the Voikhansky men fathered many children across many countries? And which VOIKHANSKY men went by many names?
From https://kehilalinks.jewishgen.org/vitsyebsk/Family_Stories/Voikhans...
it does not appear to be Chaiim Ber Voikhansky born 1828 (great grandfather of Dror) as he only had 16 children
From https://genealogy.org.il/2017/09/24/heshvan-event-2017-%D7%90%D7%99... it appears to be Solomon Haim-Bar VOIKHANSKY born 1832 but I can't tell his relationship to Chaim. Being born in 1832 he is either Chaim's brother or maybe a cousin, but not a son.
The facebook group also has Solomon VOIKHANSKY as the one with many wives. Described as Dror's grandpa's brother.

So Solomon was definitely not " politically correct" and had many wives, women and many children . I think by aspirations , he saw himself like King Solomon (with 1000 wives =and 1000 mothers in law lol). May be we can get a clue from some names which he chose for himself for example Dvoralisky and Dvorman. From Russian Dvor means a courtyard - also a royal court. And the same as Dvorman. So Solomon Dvoralisky can be : Solomon of the Royal courtyard ... He was strongly involved with the Ginzburg's Aristocracy and this is just another clue.
