Wow!!
Very interesting!

An interesting add-on is the fact that R Yehoshua Heschel Eichenstein (I), the first Zidichov Rebbe in Chicago, later became a mechutan of the Kossoner Rebbe, when his son R Avraham married the Kossoner Rebbe’s daughter.
(See @Yserbius123’s post. Shartza Babtza was a daughter of the Kossoner Rebbe.)

Apparently the Zidichov Rebbe started a tradition (1924) and was followed by his future mechutan (1937). What an appropiate shidduch:) 🙂
