Amazing story. Can’t wait for the podcast. Genetic geneology has solved about 200 cold cases in the last few years - thanks to people searching for family members by submitting their DNA sequencing to a public database. Science is amazing
It's amazing what genetic genealogy has done for cold cases. Off-topic, random question inspired not by your last name, but your avatar: Do you ride horses by any chance?
ROFL!! Gee, how'd you guess?? I'm actually in my 'pretending to be a hunter rider' outfit in this pic, at the Morgan Grand Nationals before we won reserve champion amateur working hunter over fences. But yes, I'm a dressage rider :)
loved the into, no apologies needed., on ancestry and Jennifer's digging into ancestry of 'others' - info we need to know when they start building walls and changing immigration laws. My maternal great grandparents immigrated from Germany in 1891, through Baltimore along w/my 12 year old grandmother. So i do appreciate the history. Will try the cheesecake soon as is a favorite to share.
I don’t read the text on those annoying blog posts - I scroll past it. & I scroll past the ads & unrelated pictures. So there you go, WordPress - whatever you were trying to achieve, you don’t with me.
It is amazing how these times have brought renewed interest in our Jewish/Eastern European roots. For years, we always referred to ourselves as Russian Jews but the town my grandmother came from in 1904 was technically part of Ukraine. The town no longer exists on a map but I have been trying to learn more about it and them. It is addictive:). Can’t wait to try the cheesecake!
I suspect it does exist; it just has a different name. Try the town finder on JewishGen that we discussed on the podcast. https://www.jewishgen.org/Communities/
This cheesecake looks amazing! I, too have Ukrainian roots. We always said Russia, because, at the time my grandmother left Kyiv, I guess it was part of Russia, but it's also always been Ukraine. I know that Jews of her generation (born in the 1890s) didn't think of themselves as Ukrainians, but the connection is real to us now.
What an amazing and exciting discovery! I'll put this episode of your podcast at the top of my "next" list so I can listen tonight. We just spent time in Ireland with my husband's cousin and learned so much more than we knew about his family history.

I don’t own a blender or food processor. Can I use an electric mixer?
