Barnett was born Dov Behr Klionsky (Russian name Berko) in Zembin, a village in the Borisov District near Minsk, Belarus in 1861. His father, Yitzhak Klionsky (Russian name Issik) appears to have been a brother of Zalman Mordechai Klionsky, father of Shimon, Barnet and Mendel. A devout Lubovitcher, Yitzhak used the titular “Yisroel” as his first name.
After coming to America, he took the name Barnett, after the first cousin Barnet (whose name ends with a single letter `t`) Klionsky (1874-1960) of NYC, his sponsor.
Barnett`s wife was Gittle (Ruben) Klionsky. She was related to the French Rothschilds, who helped support the family after Barnett left for America. Barnett & Gittle had eight children: Rose, Ethel, Kate, Rena, Ida, Rhea, Sam and Harry.
