Subject: [Cz-L] Czernowitz relative found through 23andMe
For those who are looking for Czernowitz relatives, as I am -
I did the genetic testing with 23andMe about a year ago. 23andMe provides
the user with a list of other users who are genetic relatives, indicating
the degree of proximity.
Recently, someone showed up on my relatives list as a 2nd cousin - named
Rudman, the maiden name of my Czernowitz great-grandmother. I wrote to him,
and it turned out that he had emigrated as a child, with
his parents, in 1990, from Czernowitz to New York. We are not sure
exactly how we are related, but this is obviously much more than a
coincidence, since the genetic evidence is there.
I know that, like me, other people look for links to their relatives for
years, often without a great deal of success. I would just like to suggest
that genetic testing (not invasive, only involves spitting into a tube) can
be another useful way of finding people.
There seem to be a very large number of Ashkenazic Jews in the 23andMe
database. (Incidentally, I found out that my husband is my distant cousin,
and that his Bukovina cousin is also my cousin, on both my mother's side and
my father's side.)
With best wishes to the other seekers,
Marilyn
