Hi everybody, I am searching the descendants of Rav Isaac Goldich, the Dayan of Manchester, that died 1987 at the age of 8o. I was told that he claimed to be adirect descendant of the Baal Shem Tov and I want to find out how, because in our Goldich family (that came from a place near Kiev to Chicago and now mostly in Israel) there is a legend that once a man came to my husband's grandfather, Menachem Nahum Goldich and told him that he is the 8th generation to the Baal Shem Tov. He promised to bring some evidences but never came back. this ggfather of us was a Skvira Hasid in Europe and emigrated to U.S in 1922. Maybe one of the descendants of Rav Issac Goldich knows how is their connection to the Baal Shem Tov and we can learn something about our connection. The name can be also spelled Golditch.Your help is appreciated. thanks - Efrat Goldich
