Re: Warshawsky

[Trudi Goodman <goobietheg...>]

    Tayere Lorele:
Because amongst the Ultra Orthodox of the 19th century and earlier in 
centain parts of E. Europe, birthdates and years are not kept track of 
standardly. I understand that he was from Galicia, which kept changing 
Empire Status. That's why there is no standard dates for him( I did a 
project on him in College...I'll see if I can find my notes.) He was known 
also as Mark S. Warshafsky.
