Sorry, one more wrinkle. Johanna WERTHEIMER is the second wife of
Emanuel FRANKFURTER, married July 9, 1854. Since Felix's father Samuel
Leopold FRANKFURTER was born January 26, 1854, he was probably the child
of the first wife of Emanuel, who perhaps died in childbirth and was
then quickly replaced by the second wife Johanna. So I am now looking
again for the name of Emanuel's first wife, the grandmother of Felix.

Ok. Now it is more clear.

Justice Felix FRANKFURTER's father is Samuel Leopold FRANKFURTER of
Bratislava married to Emma WINTER of Ostroh, Moravia. Felix had an
uncle Israel Salomon FRANKFURTER, who published a death notice in the
NFP for his mother Johanna FRANKFURTER geb. WERTHEIMER. Johanna is
buried with her husband Emanuel FRANKFURTER, who is the son of Nathan
and Rose FRANKFURTER, according to their marriage records in the
All-Hungary database.

On second thought, I think I made a mistake on the FRANKFURTERs and
confused Leopold with a cousin of the same name. Now it looks like Felix's
grandmother was Johanna FRANKFURTER geb. WERTHEIMER. Still working on
the name of his grandfather

Hello Beth,

Besides Vincent Vizachero's and my own work, there are now several
projects which have shown a correlation between this Eastern R1b
(colloquially called ht35), which is found in high frequencies and
broad genetic variance among the Southern Anatolia, the Caucasuses,
South Eastern Asia and the Levant. Conversely, this Eastern R1b
presents with a very low frequency and genetic variance within
Europe, particularly Western Europe. Peter Hrechdakian, the admin
of the Armenian and Assyrian DNA Projects, also offers data that
further confirms an established R1b presence within the geographic
area that was once Assyria. The Jewish clusters do indeed fit
within his clusters of Middle Eastern R1b, most of whom are tightly-
clustered -- none more than the Jewish clusters, which themselves
are tightly clustered and distinct >from the others.

At last year's FTDNA International Conference of Genetic Genealogy,
Vince and I had a long discussion with Dr. Michael Hammer, who has
since revised his theory of R1b migration to include the presence
of this R1b which never migrated into Europe. At last week's
conference, I spoke with Dr. Michael Hammer and Dr. Doron Behar
about the findings of my project, and both confirmed that it indeed
indicated such a presence of Jewish R1b with origins in the Middle
East. I have also worked at length with Bennett Greenspan of FTDNA
over the past three years on the project and he has devoted quite a
bit of time and support.

Roughly 120 project members (41% of the total project) all fit
within this Eastern R1b modal. These 120 individuals are sorted
into only a handful of clusters and all are SNP-confirmed only to
m269+ or L23+, negative the rest of the way downstream. All have an
indicative DYS 393=12 and a portion further have DYS 426=11, both of
which have a low mutation rate.

None of these project members have a non-Jewish match beyond Y-12
and all have a confirmed Jewish paternal history without knowledge
of conversion. 31 members are further confirmed to only have matches
with an oral tradition of being Cohanim, and are themselves tightly
clustered into 2 groups, none of whom have a non-Cohane, yet alone
non-Jewish match beyond Y-12. GATA-H4 = 12 is also an indicative
marker among these two clusters, which itself has a slow mutation
rate and is 1 allele apart >from the modal.

Sorry for the lengthy reply, I just wanted to clarify this
misconception. Is there indeed admixture within R1b? Yes, but it is
far smaller than we may have first conceived. There is a very small
instance of WAMH among the entire 300 person project.

Yes, two groups can have similar structure results and not have
common ancestors within the past 1000 years. We clearly see this,
when we see Cypriots overlapping part of the Sephardic cluster and
when we see the very different count of Sephardic matches on

Shalom,

I hope you are sitting down when you read this, because it is rather long
being that there were a number of projects updated during October to the
Yizkor Book Project. I am particularly pleased note that this month saw the
completion of the Debica, Poland Project which has been slowly progressing
over quite a few years - kudos to all involved.

I often receive queries >from people asking why a particular Yizkor Book they
are interested in doesn't appear in our list or is only partially
translated. My reply to this is that the translation of the books is
coordinated by volunteers who take care of finding translators and/or
raising funds for a particular book and to plagiarize a JFK quote: "Don't
ask what the Yizkor Book Project can do for me, rather what can I do for the
Yizkor Book Project"! So if a particular Yizkor Book is important to you,
please contact me because I'm here to help you get a translation project for
it moving and can lead you step by step through the process.

And on volunteers, I feel that I don't get a real chance to thank all of
volunteers who give of their free time to advance the Yizkor Book Project
and so, each month, I will mention a few of the people who help so much. If
you are a volunteer and aren't mentioned this time, I will certainly note
you sometime in the a future report.

skill and patience and I would like to thank these people for helping us in
maintaining the memories of our loved ones and, at the same time, to

The admixture analysis may show that the average European Jew is
(for example) 63/64 Middle Eastern. Though I doubt that's the case.

However,
a Y-DNA analysis shows many Jews to have Q, R1a, and R1b direct male
ancestors. These are not Middle Eastern haplogroups.

Shalom,

I hope you are sitting down when you read this, because it is rather long
being that there were a number of projects updated during October to the
Yizkor Book Project. I am particularly pleased note that this month saw the
completion of the Debica, Poland Project which has been slowly progressing
over quite a few years - kudos to all involved.

I often receive queries >from people asking why a particular Yizkor Book they
are interested in doesn't appear in our list or is only partially
translated. My reply to this is that the translation of the books is
coordinated by volunteers who take care of finding translators and/or
raising funds for a particular book and to plagiarize a JFK quote: "Don't
ask what the Yizkor Book Project can do for me, rather what can I do for the
Yizkor Book Project"! So if a particular Yizkor Book is important to you,
please contact me because I'm here to help you get a translation project for
it moving and can lead you step by step through the process.

And on volunteers, I feel that I don't get a real chance to thank all of
volunteers who give of their free time to advance the Yizkor Book Project
and so, each month, I will mention a few of the people who help so much. If
you are a volunteer and aren't mentioned this time, I will certainly note
you sometime in the a future report.

Grodensky, Gilberto Jugend, Yocheved Klausner, Shmuel Laufer, Gladys Paulin,
Thia Persoff, Lorraine Rosengarten, Noam Silberberg, Al Silberman, Vivian
Singer, Esther Snyder, David Sosnovitch, Moshe Steinberg & Kathryn Wallach
- who are the team behind the many necrologies that have been added over the
last year or so. The work is certainly difficult emotionally and requires
skill and patience and I would like to thank these people for helping us in
maintaining the memories of our loved ones and, at the same time, to
presenting us invaluable information on these same people.

I am trying to find informations about Lajos Mannheimer born in Ocs Vezprem=
County in 1833. It seems that they can be found in
Nagyvazsony Jewish Community
Do you think that the 1848 Jewish census could help? How can I access it?
Thanks for your help.

I have photo images of several pages >from the 1857 census for Abauj-Torna
that were sent to me in 2004 by Michael Sura, a professional researcher, who
was commissioned by me to do some research. I would therefore conclude that
the 1857 census exists for this megye and that researchers in Hungary know
of it and can gain access.
