i was wondering if this is indeed the Elkin that is related to my grandmother, Dora Toplowski Stern.
Please let me know.

Sherry Marger you have asked a question about Private who you have placed on Geni as a nephew of Dwoire (Dora) Tapelowski

So the simple answer to your question is Yes.
But it raises the question of whether you have built these profiles correctly, how are we supposed to assess that?
The U.S. Social Security Application submitted by Isidore Elkin inn 1939 to request a SSN states his mother's name as Anna Zabolosky. This does not look like it matches your tree.
So either Isidore got his mother's name wrong or you have a bad connection.

I think last names were always misspelled or read incorrectly. It is probably the same one since his mom was Anna.

Yes, I know that spellings are often incorrect because my grandmother’s name is spelled several different ways on a variety of documents. So I am pretty sure that Isadore is indeed her nephew. Her relation to Elkin has been confirmed. Her sister Anna was married to Harry Elkin, who fathered Isadore, age 18 in the 1940 census. My grandmother applies for her citizenship and the name was also spelled Dwoire Tapelowski. Sam Tapolosky, her brother is registered on the1910 census with wife Rosie and daughter Dora. So yet another spelling difference. And her marriage certificate is Tobilosky. And the 1920 census shows Sam Topolofsky, wife Rose and children living with the Elkins, Harry and Anna. So thus, the confusion linking them up. If you find any other info, let me know. Thanks!
