Biography

I am uncertain as to Morris' place among my Portnoys and he may not belong here at all based on the confusing use of the same names in all the offspring through generations. He may be the child of another Portnoy sibling named Anna who married an Abraham Leitner, but until I figure out where to place him or to cut him off I will leave him here, with this note explaining.
