Anyone a descendant of the shpuler zeide?

I LOVE his kol ba yaar

For all BTs know that even if 10 generations before you were not shomre mitzvos the big majority was and yes they daven Ed and Daaven NOW for YOU and are so proud.

Also you all have yichus. 9 out of 10 European Jews come from Rashi
The further the likelier, so the number would be higher for rashei galuta. Bh

Interesting observation- Almost all (yes I noticed R' SRH and a few others) names here are Chassidish. I wonder if this a chassidish thing to be into this and knowledgeable who you're descended from? Is it that non chassidim don't care as much? or don't have well known ancestors? Who knows...

So cute to find a closer cousin!!! im wondering if your mother is my first cousin. my grandfather was volvish, he was ben acher ben bechorim for a couple generations but then he went and had a girl first so the chain stopped. are you also his einikl? or from a different child? fun fact he was the same age or younger than his youngest uncle that passed away a few years ago.
I remember when hershel passed away. I was young around 10 but I remember going to the levaya.

K this is becoming fun! Volf and chana ida were my great grandparents so you’re either my aunt or my mother’s first cousin but I think I won’t continue from here! Don’t wanna out myself!

I have no idea who I am related to beyond my grandparents.

On ancestry.com I have thousands of third and fourth cousins - none of whom have any names I am familiar with.

I suspect I am third or fourth cousins with probably half of the Ashkenazi women on this site

My DNA is 100% Ashkenazi scattered among the communities which pretty much covers every Ashkenazi community with the exception of possibly Hungary.

Ashkenazi Jews in Central & Eastern Europe
Ashkenazi Jews in Eastern Europe
Ashkenazi Jews in Northeastern Europe

These seem to be linked to paternal DNA as my maternal first cousins do not have any from this geographic areas

Ashkenazi Jews in Belarus & Ukraine
Ashkenazi Jews in Southwest Latvia, Lithuania & Northwest Belarus

From 4 generations, we are the only drum family.

I don't know what yichus I come from, all my grandparents were born in the US during or after WWI.

I’m named after Udel I'm the 11th generation you’re probably my relative

What’s the twins story? Sounds interesting.

There's a version in Tales of the Soul by Yair Weinstock pg 80 "The Sign of the Twins". One of my favorite stories. Hopefully someone from the family can verify it's accuracy.

You are probably referring to Zeida Shimon and Bubbe Genesha? If so, hi cousin.

I don't know that branch (I responded about (our) Fetter Shimon and Tanta Dena...)

Your Zeida and Bubbe also have Zorach descendants?
