  • Footnote to page 133:

144. Rivlin in Sefer HaYachas (p.97) interrupts the genealogy of the family to state that Aryey Leib had more than one wife and that descendants are uncertain as to the issue of each wife. R' Haim Karlinsky in Rishon LeShalshelet brisk (1984) p.57 footnote #110, states the name of both wives and which children were from which wife.

However the complete family tree will be included in this book because of the family's illustrious rabbinical lineage. See also David M. Lipman, Le Toldot HaYehudim BeKovno VeSlobodka, 1931, p 229, showing the Schick connection.

See 1.V., p 299 for the Shapira/Shapiro ancestry.
