In what proved to be his last paper, Vitaly Lazarevich Ginzburg gives some autobiographical information about his family tree, relatives, ancestors, and descendents and where the name Ginzburg comes from. A major part of V L Ginzburg’s memoir is about his father — making up for what he considered to be a ’somewhat neglected’ filial duty.
