Genealogy Bio

• started in 2010
• primary family tree service: Geni.com
• primary DNA analysis service: MyHeritage

If I have added you or your relatives to Geni, that does not mean I know them, it just means that they are connected to me. I am happy to have you take over management of those profiles.

If you have any questions, send me a message through Geni.

My genealogy goals include

• including as many relatives of my daughter as possible (blood+adopted relatives and their spouses; ancestors, descendants, aunts/uncles, cousins)
• adding as much detail to each person's profile as possible (records, memories, photos, etc.)
• connecting everyone who marries into my family to their relatives on Geni, i.e., helping to build the "world family tree"
• documenting and archiving the lives of select people close to me or whom I have access to special records of
• visualizations and other methods for storytelling and other purposes
• helping others get into and do genealogy, and Geni in particular
• reuniting lost family

Genealogy mysteries

There are several families that I know to be related to mine but not specifically enough to put the connections into Geni:

• Zeit -> Zajd family which moved from Poland to Boston - see Tobias/Isaac Zeit
• Botknecht -> Botnick/etc family which moved from then-Poland to Toronto
• Zilberschmidt/Silberschmidt -> Ginsburg family which moved from now-Ukraine to Huntsville/Toronto - see Max Ginsburg
• A Rappaport family in New York and possibly Toronto

The most interesting/mysterious story in my ancestry is for Brocha Solomonovna Lvova
