[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 354377, member: 1963"] My ancestry is very hard to track via sites like this. I have some verbal history but not much. My problem is that my family were Jewish serfs in Russia and Russian occupied areas. We were just listed as Baron Whatisface's Jews. husband's great grandfather was Turkish. When he was stationed in Turkey, the townspeople there recognized the name and immediately treated him as a long lost relative. They held a banquet for him and everything. Other than that, the only other "hit" we've had is that on my maternal side many of the men were rabbis and there's some info on that tradition being passed on down. The countries we lived in passed from hand to hand being conquered so frequently. I've got a LOT of cousins probably since intermarriage was practiced nearly exclusively. [/QUOTE]
