Jacob Polinsky family
My grandfather, Jacob Polinsky was from Elizabethgrad. He and his brothers and sisters relocated to Scotland, after which Jacob relocated to America. This would have been probably in the early 1900s. His son William (my father) used to tell me we had a famous mathematician in our family, Selig Brodetsky. I know that Brodetsky's family was from that area but I can't figure out how he is related. I read his memoir "From the Ghetto to Israel" but he does not write much of his family memories when they lived in Russia. I would appreciate any information on Brodetsky's possible relationship to the Polinsky family.
