My sister and I have been involved in genealogy since 1995 and are blessed
with a highly unusual surname, FELDHERR, making the search incredibly
easy. It also enabled us to come forth with a hypothesis which could
only be proven by DNA testing <g>

Bear with me here....this may be as valuable a lesson to you as it has been
for me and my research right hand, my sister Eleanor Bien.

With this unusual German surname and a title to boot, we managed to find
only one other family so named in the U.S. and was also Jewish. Here's
what the research revealed:

Their ancestral origins were in the same city as ours, Rzeszow, formerly
Galicia and now Poland.
Their great uncle and our great uncle lived in the same New York City lower
east side tenement at exactly the same time and were listed in the NYC
directory.
One of their uncles was listed in the Manhattan law office of our father
in a NYCity directory for 1934.

Now, given all that information, what would you say the chances of two
Jewish families, each with the same surname that appears nowhere else in
the United States and coming >from the same place were not related? Slim
to none, right.?

Wrong! The resultant DNA tests between direct male descendants >from
each family line did not match on a single marker!

So much for a well founded hypothesis <grin> when the definitive test
says "nope.....despite all that you are not descended >from a common
ancestor! " In addition, they bear the cohain gene, we do not.

So form your hypotheses folks....it keeps you going and focused....but when
push comes to shove and you have not found a single birth record with a
common progenitor despite all the records that have turned up,
you need the final, definitive test to prove....or in this case to disprove.

We are still left with the mystery of how such an unusual surname came to
be in two Jewish families......but that's a matter of conjecture since
there are no records on a surname designation. I guess we can play with
that one for a long time to come.

Thank you Marshall. But my Teodoro SILVERMAN/SREBNIK was not forced
to convert, as far as I am aware. He was simply an immigrant from
Vasilishki, Belarus (was Lithuania).

I'd also like to see if anyone might know why Teodoro chose to go to
Uruguay and then Argentina, yet all of his many brothers and sisters
went to Brooklyn. This seems strange, doesn't it? And over the
years, they kept in touch, and even met once in Brooklyn in 1959 (I
have a photo of this "reunion", so please email me if you would like a
copy which shows clearly what Teodoro (Teddy) looked like in 1959.

Shalom to all,

Through the years I have been receiving e-mails of our
people searching for their family members lost in the
diaspora, specially in our case in Latin America.

I have a website in Spanish, that is designed to
support the B'nei Anusim, (children of the forced to
convert ones), that will be good to place letters like
this so it will increase the opportunity to find our
love ones.

Later on, we can promote and also include some letters
in our publication. So, please let us know if you
will be interested for us to proceed with it.

Toda raba,

Marshall Lopez

Hi Barbara: Thanks. That is another issue....after the test results are
in....then what! If you find the answer to that, let me know (And I will
do likewise)

Thanks again.

I have now received a new and complete copy of the Radomsko Holocaust Death
List. This time, it is an original copy, printed on thick glossy paper.
For those interested, I have scanned this document (it lacks date,
publisher, or author) and I have put it here:

http://www4.wittenberg.edu/academics/music/kazez/rado-holo-new/

The names are organized by surname and then by family unit. This list comes

from my TELMAN-OFMAN cousin, a man who survived the Holocaust in Radomsko,

Poland. In all, there are over 2000 names, in 39 columns.

Hi,

Just curious about this DNA test. What are the results that you get back? If
you're comparing with someone else, do you get a common ancestor name and what the
relationship is or how many generations back it goes? If you're just sending them
in the DNA test alone, do you get a list of people that you are connected to, or a
list of ancestors and names?

Has anyone been able to use any of the DNA results that they have received, to do
additional research on their family?

Thanks and kind regards,
Bernie Hirsch bernie06@sprynet.com Dallas, Texas
