While, as with most Ashkenazic Jews, I had been unable to discover records that would enable me to trace my ancestry back any earlier than the 18th century, I was able to break through while researching the roots of a 2nd great grandmother on my paternal side. This led to many years of research going back to the start of prominent rabbinical families in the early middle ages. This lecture will focus on two fascinating "billionaire" cousins from this lineage who flourished in 19th century Ukraine where folk tales about them became common among the Jewish population. Now their story has become a book, "Sons of the Lion's Cub: The Horenstein Brothers and Their Fortune."
