Chernobyl and Ruzhin

צ'רנוביל ורוז'ין

Reb Nachum of Chernobyl, a talmid of the Baal Shem Tov and the Maggid of Mezritch, founded the Twersky line, and his son Reb Mordechai's eight sons each led a court in Ukraine. The Ruzhin line descends from the Maggid through Reb Avrohom HaMalach and Reb Sholom Shachna to Reb Yisroel of Ruzhin, whose sons founded Sadigura, Chortkov, Husiatyn, Shtefanesht and Leova, and the two lines are joined by marriage.
