About R' Simha HaKohen Rappaport of Grodno
- Simcha Rappaport Wikipedia
Rabbi Simcha Hagadol HaKohen Rappaport (Hebrew: שמחה הכהן ראפאפארט; b. 1650 - August 4, 1718) was a 17th-century Ukrainian rabbi and progenitor of the Rappaport rabbinic dynasties. Born in about 1650 in L'viv, Ukraine. His father, Rabbi Nachman of Belz was a minor rabbi and a descendant of Rashi through his mother. In his early years Rabbi Rappaport studied in L'viv. In 1688 he was appointed the Chief Rabbi of Horodna. He was later appointed to be Av Bris Din of Levov, although he died on the way there on August 4, 1718 in Szczebrzeszyn. The Soloveitchik dynasty claims Rabbi Rappaport as a notable ancestor and progenitor.

Ancestor of the Soloveitchik dynasty.
The Soloveitchik family includes many significant rabbinical forebears, most notably Rabbi Chaim Volozhiner, famed Talmudist and founder of the Volozhin yeshiva.
Rabbi Chaim Volozhiner ( 1749-1821), was a student of the Vilna Gaon, and thus some students of Brisk talk of a line of tradition extending "from Moses at Sinai, to Joshua, to the Elders ... to the Vilna Gaon, to Rabbi Chaim Volozhiner, and then to the Soloveitchik dynasty."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaim_Soloveitchik (see bio)
Most scholars, however, begin the Soloveitchik dynasty with Rabbi Joseph Dov (HaLevi) Soloveitchik known as the Beis HaLevi (see below), as he was the first rabbi of Brisk surnamed Soloveitchik. More significantly, the "Brisker style" described below can already be found to some degree in the Beis HaLevi's works, which is not the case for earlier ancestors.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yosef_Dov_Soloveitchik_(Beis_Halevi) (see bio)
All members of the Soloveitchik family are descended from the tribe of Levi and thus sometimes go by the descriptor "HaLevi".
The surname "Soloveitchik", in fact, is Polish for "nightingale"; it was chosen by the family because the primary duty of the Levites in the Temple in Jerusalem was singing. (Note that the surname "Soloveitchik" can be spelled either as presented, or as "Soloveichik", without the "t".

I corrected the name Rapoport to Rappaport
This fits theHebrew spelling and the explanation in the above site
=================================
There is a clear mistake here. On the signs it says (in Hebrew) that his father is called Nachman
על השלטים כתוב ששם אביו נחמן This is the grave of his grandfather R' Simha HaKohen Rappaport of Grodno
GEDCOM Note
A descendent of the great rabbi, Abraham Menachem son of R. Ya´akov Rappa of Porto, author of Mincha Belulah´´ - the partriarch of the Rapaport family. [Shalshelet Zahav]
The three are the same. Please see the photo of the tombstone
