i discovered my great great grandfather was a Grodenchik. Since then, I discovered all Grodenchik's who were born or lived in Slonim, Belarus were related. Grodenchik's changed their names, some to Grodensky, some to Jaffe, and some to other surnames.
Grodensky's either married and had a name changed or changed their names to shorten them. One Grodensky changed his name to Schneider through immigration.
