       HISTORY

This site is dedicated to the family of Chaim Tarnopolsky, who was born in 1843 year in a small Ukrainian city Rzhischev (Ржищів)

The last name Tarnopolsky means "from Tarnopol", Ternopil today, a town in the west of Ukraine which was included to Russian empire in 1809. Suchlike last names were been usually given to people who changed place of residence.
