Leib Galyorkin lived in Vitebsk. He was a Ist Guild merchant, a wholesaler, just like his father.
He had seven children: daughters:
Dina [1892-1967], Temma [Emma, 1882-1964], Khaya-Rokha [Anna, 1876-1944], Maria [1883-1976] and Girsh [Grigory, 1880-1919] and Rafail [1885-1919].
As a merchant, Leib had the right to teach his children, both in Russia and abroad.
Emma obtained secondary school education; Maria graduated from the Medical Institute in Derpt; Girsh and Rafail got technical education and Anna graduated from two universities:
Sorbonne [France] and Bern [Switzerland]. They were certainly all Orthodox Jews until the Soviet power came.
