Question about the Lipszyc Family of Grojec, Poland.
My great grandfather was Rabbi Eliahu (Eliasz) Lipszyc of Grojec, Poland. I believe he lived approximately 1863-1941 and was married to Rywka Dina Freidenreich who lived 1862-1930. I would like to get as much information as possible about Eliahu and Dina's children. I believe their names were Itzhak, Israel, Chana, Gittel, Mania (Maryllah), and Sarah. In particular, for these 6 people, I am interested in birthdates, spouses and their children.

If you search pilot.pl = mapa.szukacz.pl you will find there are 20 communities Grójec listed in Poland. To use this program, start with pilot.pl - download the map - X the advertisements on the left - go to Hotele on the right and click on Ukryj to eliminate all H's which are hotel advertisements. Enter Grójec in the top box on the right, to see location of all the 20 Grójec communities.
To search for your family you will benefit the most by going to JRI Poland = Jewish Record Indexing for Poland. They allow you to enter only the surname, unless you make a donation. It may be beneficial for you to do it, as e.g. for the period of 1862-1930 which you listed, there are over 1,500 entries for Lipszyc people in Warsaw Gubernia.
You may also check MyHeritage as there several entries for Lipszyc families. You may access it for free in your neighborhood Familysearch Center, or pay about $150.- a year, or try to enroll for about $10.- for a trial period to see if you can find there your family. Best wishes for your research.

Thank you very much for your thoughtful and detailed advice. I'm very grateful. I've been researching my family history for many years, but it's challenging because so many relatives were lost in the Holocaust. I've made use of resources such as JRI-Poland, MyHeritage, the Arolsen Archives, Yad Vashem, Holocaust literature, and others. My original question was overly broad, so allow me to narrow it down. I am most eager to learn about two children of Rabbi Eliasz Lipszyc and Ryfka Dyna Frajdenrajch, mainly, Sarah (Lipszyc) Tennenbaum, since I have nothing at all about her or her children, and Rabbi Itzhak Lipszyc and his wife and children. Do you know of any other resources?
Thank you very much!
