I grew up in Brooklyn, NY, spent summers in the Catskills and now live in Vermont with my wife, Dawn Smith Pliner. I have two adopted children, Aura (1979) and Isaac (1981). I am a construction manager and a bike mechanic. I have a sister, Reva Pliner Walmsley, born 1951, Brooklyn, NY, now living in South Orange, NJ. My father was Harry Joseph Pliner (1906 - 1971), born (I believe) in Brooklyn, NY and later moved to Norfolk, VA, where his father, Joseph Pliner, had a hardware store. Harry Pliner worked for the US Post Office most of his adult life. He married Goldie Medowar in 1945. My father had a brother, Israel (Irving) Pliner, born in Norfolk, 1913. Irving lived in Brooklyn, Far Rockaway and Marlboro, NJ. Irving married Gertrude (Dee) Ganz in 1947. They had two daughters, Joan (1949), now living in Voorhees, NJ and Anita (1952), now living in Arlington, MA. Irving died in 1996. Irving was an accountant. I know very little about the Pliner side of my family and would sincerely love to learn more.

I was born in Chicago Illinois to Rita Greenberg Pliner and Albert Pliner. My paternal grandfather was David Pliner and was born in Russia. My paternal grandmother was Rose Goldberg Pliner and she was born in the USA. My half brother is David Alison Pliner, 43 years old and lives in Honolulu, Hawaii. Our grandparents had five children so now there are many Pliners in our family spread across the USA, mainly in Texas, California and Hawaii. Looking forward to hearing more about the Pliners..

I grew up in Mound, MN. My maternal grandfather was a Gandel from Russia and his mothers maiden name was Pliner. First name Schendel, later changed to Sara when they came to America in 1904. I recently heard she had a sister, but I don't have any more information. Isadore Gandel and Sara Pliner Gandel had 7 children and settled in Odessa, ND. The children later moved to Minneapolis and some then moved to California. My mother grew up in North Minneapolis.

I'm Lev Pliner. My brother's name is Alexander Pliner. We live in Ekaterinburg, Russia. Our parents are Sergey and Tatjana. Father's parents are Ava Isaakovna and Yury Lvovich. Grandfather's parents are Tatjana and Lev. I was named in a honor of my grand-grand-father. My grandfather was born in Moscow and he is an offspring of pliners who lived in Moscow several centuries. I know that all russian pliners are our relatives. I can tell you much more about our branch so we could builde the tree of relationship. But the most easy way to find out is to search using ICQ: there are more than 40 entries!

I was born in Abington, PA (suburb of Philadelphia), where I lived for 13 years. Then I moved to Orlando, FL for 9 years, and I recently moved back to Phila. for work. I have a B.A. from Rollins College (Winter Park, FL) in Psychology and Religious Studies. I currently work at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania as a research assistant and I work at the Metanexus Institute: http://www.metanexus.net. I plan to attend graduate school within the next two years for a PhD in neuropsychology. My parents were also born in the Philadelphia area.  My father is David E. Pliner (born May 1947), and he is married to Carol (Lipsky) Pliner. David, born of Nathan Pliner and Edith Pliner, is one of 3 children.  His sister is Eileen (Pliner) Goldsteen, born July 1940 and married to Joel Goldsteen, and his brother was Art Pliner (March 1953-April 2002), married to Susan Pliner.  I have no siblings, Eileen has 2 children named Jill (born 1965) and Rob (born 1967), and I have two cousins from Art's family named Andrea (born 1980) and Julie (born 1982). My paternal grandfather, Nathan Pliner, was the brother of Sam Pliner.  Sam Pliner was the paternal grandfather of Brad Pliner (who created this webpage).  Therefore, David (my father) and Brad's father are first cousins.  I had no knowledge of the Pliner family tree beyond Nathan Pliner (my grandfather) until I e-mailed Brad last night, looked at this webpage today, and then spoke to my father. So, I have found a cousin (Brad).
