About Lazar Kohn-Zerkowitz

He was the younger of two sons born to Nathan Samuel Kohn-Zerkowitz's first marriage to Rachel Kepf, and was born after the 1820/1821 Jewish census was taken. He was named in honor of his paternal grandfather, Lazar Kohn-Zerkowitz, who was murdered outside of Trencin City about 1817.
