Leibe Ephraim Dorfman son of Raphael and Ginde and grandfather of Aaron was born in Birzai in 1809 and was married to Shlovo who was born in 1792. Shlovo died 1876 and I do not know when Leibe died. He is said to have run away and possibly he ran away to Riga because that is where Mowscha (Moshe) Aaron's father lived
