judith --
i am in a bit of a state of shock having just found this genealogy forum for bialik.you are asking the same question i began to ask myself over the past few days, because i very much need to know the answer myself.the answer will be my great grandmother's maiden name.
my grandmother dina zinder was cn bialik's first cousin.in other words, my great grandmother and bialik's mother were sisters.they would have had the same maiden name.my mother, is still living and she does not know her own grandmother's maiden name because my grandmother never really recovered after having left russia. she and my grandfather came to ohio and then went to california towards the end of their lives.my grandmother died in 1973, but before she did i taped a conversation with her about her family in zhitomir.we talked about bialik and how she stayed at the bialik house in tel aviv in 1960.she said she stayed with bialik's sister...do you know her name?bialik was of course no longer living.it is a great story...and i will be happy to share it with you.
i have been wanting to communicate with the bialik family since my mom, brother and i are directly related to cn bialik.who are all these people?i am completely amazed to see this and i am a bit overwhelmed.please let me know if you get an answer to your question.i plan to follow this up if you do not find an answer.
thank you .... louise byer
