Rabbi Daniel Avigdor Rabinovitz's gravestone was discovered in the last years in Kovno (Kaunas):

Headstone of
The Rabbi R’ Daniel Avigdor Hakohen
courtesy of: Eliezer Makovetsky

His gravestone records a significant amount of useful information in Hebrew, including his ancestry. The father of the deceased was from W-L, as can be seen in this text engraved on the stone:
...The Rabbi R’ Daniel Avigdor Hakohen son of the Gaon Rabbi Yosef Head of Rabbinical Court of the Holy Communities of Zablodove, Krinek, and Visoki Lit.
Rabbi Yosef wrote the books Kapot Zahav (Palms of Gold) and Elef Kesef (Thousand Silver). He was the son of Gaon Reb Asher, who was head of the Rabbinical Court in Krinek, etc....

Notes: We know that Daniel Avigdor Hakohen's surname was Rabinovitz; see Hatzfira article 1.7.1884.
