Hello Imamother community! My question is the subject—I would love to know if anyone has roots in Kaluszyn.
I never met my grandfather ah so I couldn’t ask him questions about Kaluszyn or his background and he never shared that kind of information with my mother.
I’m particularly curious about what Chassidic groups were active there, which one they might have belonged to. (When his family came to America, they stopped being Chassidish.)
If anyone’s ancestors came from Kaluszyn, I would just love to know in general what information was passed down to you about the shtetl, about what life was like there, and about the community.
This might be a long shot but I really love family history so I figured I would try!  thank you in advance!

Growing up I remember a family with that last name in Brooklyn. The kalishiners. Maybe you can look them up.

There are a few Kaluszyners in Lakewood also.
Good luck!

The Kaluszyners from Brooklyn (and the marrieds live in Lakewood) are Stoliner chasidim, if that helps you at all.
