Descendants of Yosef Poltorak

Notes: This family tree starts in the province of Volhynia, Russia/Poland, now in Ukraine. Towns involved include Radzivilov. Family members emigrated to the United States  (New Hampshire, Boston area) and Israel. In America the name Poltorak became Porter. 
  The symbol "+" indicates a marriage, and people "married in" to the Poltorak/Porter line are listed in italics. Married women are listed with their maiden names only.  Children's names are indented underneath their parents' names.  Year of birth and year of death are listed if known; no other personal information will be published on the Web. Click on the camera symbol ( ) next to a name to see a photo or photos of that person. An asterisk (*) indicates the person died in the Holocaust.
   This tree underwent a major revision in 2024, with the top ancestor's named changed to Yosef, numerous names added, and Zacharia Poltorak and his descendants removed. It is believed Zacharia was related to the Poltorak line shown here, but the exact connection has not been determined.
   More information about individuals named here is available upon request from Lynne Tolman,  who is not a Poltorak/Porter descendant but is related to some of Boruch Poltorak's descendants. Please contact Lynne with any questions, corrections or additions.
