On familytreeDNA I had a match,
My sister, Rina Fox, had the same match,
I contacted Elaine, and received a reply,
My great-grandfather Izaak Rapoport ( hypothesis ) came from Lepel, in Vitebsk, now Belarus.

Could this be Leib, son of Shalom, and wife Pessy?
Is Zalman here, the same Zalman , father of Izaak?
That is, if they are the same person, did Zalman have Izaak from another wife or Izaak has not yet been accounted for?
Could the following be my relationship to Elaine Frank?
Zelman/ Shalom/ Solomon Rapoport
