R' Eliezer Lipa Lipman ("Noam Elimelech's" father)

Eliezer Lipman vs Eliezer Weisblum?

• The Name Weisblum aparently was taken from his wife, Mirl Weisblum. It seems that in those days it was hard to get a marriage licenses so children were born and named after the mother in this case Weisblum (?)
• In fact, in many places the Brothers Elimelech of Lizhensk and Zucha of Anipoli are called after the Father LIpman.
• Most confusing is however thet in some sources even the Father of Eliezer Lipman is given the name Weisblum---- a clear Mistake.
• It is understandable perhaps that the sons wore the name of the Mother Weisblum, but as for Eliezer and his Father and Grand father the names is Lipman. Source

Family Tree

Rabbi Eliezer Lipa Lipman of Tykocin, Poland ( Galicia) and his wife Mirl (Mirish) were financially well-off small town merchants, and they used their resources to engage in charity-work and good deeds.

Rabbi Elimelech of Lizhensk was the eldest of the six siblings born to his father and mother. He developed a special relationship to his older half-brother Meshulam Zusya, son of his mother’s previous marriage, who would in time become a great master in his own right, Rabbi Zusha of Hanipol.
