I've already taken an autosomal test and found my mt-DNA haplogroup to be Israelite. <br />Soon enough I'll take a Big Y test to find out my exact subclade and terminal SNP. For the time being, I have an idea what my non-terminal SNP is thanks to studies that found the Y-DNA haplogroups of famous Rabbinic figures, but have no proof for it. <br />May I write to you privately about something you've mentioned? Perhaps post an email address that I can reach you at (I don't see another way to do it), if you don't see my own address (I don't know if Blogger is showing you mine).Zvihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08635122414567741765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4315960922006716208.post-13488055475828412062021-10-30T15:06:32.908-04:002021-10-30T15:06:32.908-04:00This certainly is an interesting and unique family...This certainly is an interesting and unique family memento to share with future generations. <br /><br />Thanks for commenting!Elizabeth Handlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05529452862369140506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4315960922006716208.post-7538508164358865122021-10-30T15:05:09.431-04:002021-10-30T15:05:09.431-04:00If you write a book about Electura, I'd buy it...If you write a book about Electura, I'd buy it!<br /><br />Thanks for the comment.Elizabeth Handlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05529452862369140506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4315960922006716208.post-28311223878322799052021-10-30T09:05:08.049-04:002021-10-30T09:05:08.049-04:00Wow, Joe is a thoughtful person to send you this b...Wow, Joe is a thoughtful person to send you this bottle!

I probably have the most complete bottle and label collection that exists for these companies. The bottle that Joe found is the standard bottle that Electura used with paper labels. My plan is to someday write a book about Electura, but I don't know if I will ever get to it. I would like to know Joe's last name, perhaps I have it in my research notes.Alan H.

Several years ago, my daughter & I stopped at the Museum & cemetery, where my grandparents, uncle & his wife, are buried. I have pictures. One of them shows a 1939 Woodbine reunion, and my parents, aunt & uncle, are seated, thoughtfully, in front.<br />I've always wondered how a Jewish family got the name of Boyar, since boyar means a member of the Russian nobility .Can you explain?<br />I am also the librarian of Har Sinai Temple in Pennington, NJ. We have a book, name & author I don't remember, with much information about Woodbine. When I am next able to go there, I shall send you the book citation, in case you don't already have it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04810005241707529337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4315960922006716208.post-70832144067536284732019-11-13T19:04:07.612-05:002019-11-13T19:04:07.612-05:00I don't have much information about my husband...I don't have much information about my husband's Iasi ancestors so I can't say whether there's a connection.
