Admor Shneur Zalman of Liadi Boruchovitch - Note to Future Researchers

My understanding is that my relationship to Schneur Zalman of Liadi is via my paternal grandmother’s family (née Sarah Ginsburg or Ginsberg). Her birthdate was September 1891, either in Russia or Lithuania. Her parents were Nathan Ginsburg and Dorothy Melzer Ginsburg. Her family was Orthodox. My father, Nathan Rifkinson (her son) was born in 1912 in the province of Vilnius, Lithuania.

Stephanie Rifkinson You would need to find a cousin whose lineage preserves the direct son-to-son connection at every step of the chain (otherwise the original ydna signal is lost).

Unfortunately, my father was an only child. My grandmother’s only sibling, her brother, had no children. Beyond this bare-bones information, I have nothing more to offer at this time. Thanks

My husband, is 7th generation from Baal Ha-Tanya, son after son up to Levi Yitzchak Shneerson, then his daughter Rachel, her grandmother Chava Lea and her daughter Ilana - my husband's mother.....

Rachel ----> Chava Lea ------> Ilana (Genin) Lapan ------> my husband Dan Lapan

Anna ( Henna Gitl) Please see the comment I made to Stephanie Rifkinson......

I think Geni lists J2-L210 for a descendant of Rabbi Shneur Zalman. Is that accurate? https://www.geni.com/projects/J-L210-Y-DNA/38100

I see what you are referring to but there is insufficient data to verify this claim so it must be ignored.

Got it. I became super curious when I found this because my haplogroup is J2-L210. Do you know if any other Rabbinical families have done dna testing?

These are the ones who I know about: https://www.xyvy.info/service/yDNARabbinical.htm

Thank you - wow!
