Lipson
The story goes that the name Lipson came from the fact that Isak and Alec described themselves as “Leib’s Son.”
The original name was Zasler or Zesler. The family came from Zaslai in Lithuania. Arieh Leib Zasler (about 1850-1886) had four children that we know of: my great-grandfather Isak Jacob Lipson (1880-1942), Elias Lipson (1877-1942), Ida Lipson Zoberg (1875-1937), and Zlatha Lipson Cohen (1861-1943). The family travelled from Zaslai to Jerusalem. Isak Jacob came to the United States to raise money for (?) and brought his family over later. They settled in Minneapolis and then Los Angeles.
