About the Epshtein surname

My name is Rachel Boguslavsky (Schechtman).
My grandmother Rachel Sagalchik and her sister Gnesya Sagalchik were married to two brothers Epshtein Aaron and David.

They lived in Ostroshitsky Gorodok, Minsk Gubernia.

My grandfather Aaron was a shoemaker. As far as I know, he had three daughters Emma (Etka), Zishka, and Maryasha (Maryasya). 

My grandfather died from cancer in January 1924 in Minsk Hospital. He was buried in Ostroshitsky Gorodok.

My grandmother Rachel died in 1937.

My aunts and their families were murdered in the ghetto.

As far as I know, the Epshtein surname was rather widespread in Ostroshitsky Gorodok.

So my aunt Zishka's husband's name was Yizhak Epshtein.

My dream is to find my Epshtein roots.

Thank you,

Rachel
