Rabbi Menachem Nachum Twersky, [1st Chernobyler] - The Worldwide Twersky Surname Study

Randy Schoenberg,

The link doesn't work.

Thanks. I suspect my family has some relationship to them, if only that my Reib -Rubenstein line were followers in Volhynia.

My gg grandfather and my great grandfather were named for the Twersky Rebbe and his son respectively (Menachem Nachum and Mordechai).

(He's my 7th great grandfather.:)
Hatte, geni finds a path from him to you, you think there's an shorter one? https://www.geni.com/path/Rabbi-Menachem-Twersky-1st-Chernobyler+is...

Dimitri Vulis -- I don't know. I doubt it's a close relationship, because my Reib - Rubenstein kits are 5th to remote cousins to the Twersky descendants on FTDNA. We seem to share some segments with Wertheimer and Twersky. Probably a more distant shared ancestor and just coincidentally my gg grandfather appears to have been a follower, based on the given names and geography. I know they were religious because my great grandfather and his cousin's house established the first synagogue in Muscatine, Iowa in their basement.

And the cousin's husband immigrated to Palestine in the 1920s at an advanced age, where he married again late in life and died. I wish I knew which community he went to there.

amazing stuff! Maybe Private User / Jeffrey Briskman (I can't find the paper cited above, but another related one is https://www.academia.edu/26048275/The_Y-DNA_Genetic_Signature_and_E... ) can offer some insight on Twersky DNA. (I heard Briskman's done some amazing work on Vulis DNA, have yet to find the time to read it.)

I have found the document mentioned in the first message at this URL: https://hcommons.org/docs/the-worldwide-twersky-surname-study/?bp-a...

Sorry for the wrong link. https://hcommons.org/docs/the-worldwide-twersky-surname-study/

Randy Schoenberg Thanks for sharing!

My family history which was recorded about 90 years ago has Rochel Grena Twersky of Ovruth married to my great-great-great-grandfather, Isaac HaLevi Bejtman. They had a son, Mordechai in 1829 - who moved to Radomysl.

Cool, it would be interesting to find how Rochel Grena was related to other Twersky's
