Charles (Elchonin) Weinstein was born in the shtetl of Deveen, Russia in the late 19th century.
His Mother's name was Chay Fagel. He had four brothers, one named Joe, another named Jacob Blinder.
The family name was probably Mazursky, ie Charles was born Charles Mazursky. The name was in an old family bible.

that Joe had: Weinstein.
