Born on the day that the Baal Shem Tov died and a disciple of R. Elimelech of Lizhensk, R. Menachem Mendel of Rymanov and the Chozeh of Lublin, R. Naphtali Tzvi of Ropshitz (1760-1827) was a crucial figure in the development of Galician Hassidism and is said to have had tens of thousands of followers. His children, who founded their own dynasties, were Rebbe Avraham Chaim of Linsk, Rebbe Yaakov of Melitz, Rebbe Eliezer of Dzhikov, and Ratza, wife of Rebbe Asher Yeshaya Rubin of Ropshitz. The dynastic offshoots of the Ropshitz dynasty founded by R. Naphtali Tzvi are most extensive.
