Re: [Cz-L] A Request

Dear Florence - on reading your note I did a google search and found many
post, including Wikipedia on Eliahu Itzkowitz with the story you tell about
- also under El Izkowitz there are many entries, including family members
and such. Don't know if they are the same person nor would I know the names
of his family - but there seems to be material to explore.

good luck
Sylvia
