M.S. - A person with K1a1b1a maternal DNA

How can I help?

Hello Gregory,

Thank you for the email. My moms grandmother Mary Tarnowski (Mikalonis maried name)listed Lithuania as place as birth i don't know what city. Mary emigrated with her brother Alex who listed Stara Syniava Ukraine as place of birth. Family settled in Philadelphia/South Jersey area. I did my DNA testing on Family Tree DNA and i also uploaded my raw data to gedmatch.com. my kit number on gedmatch is T354232. старая синява could be the place Alex was born. She claimed that her name was Mary Janskeviczia (sp?) My thought is that it might be a patronymic. My moms mom was named Emily Mikalunas married name Neinius/Nienius. Thats all the information i have. AI have hit a brick wall. I hope we have luck finding relatives and i will always share infoe when i get it.

Best regards,
Steve Sobelman Madeline's Sobelmans

Hello! I'm not certain what question you are asking, but my maternal heritage is in Galicia and NW Ukraine, specifically Nizhyn and Wascylkow (in Husyatyn)

Sorry but your message makes no sense to me and I believe that it was mistakenly sent to my address

That maternal haplogroup is one of the most common Jewish ones, and so is not useful for genealogical research. I am on 23and me and have not come across Daniel as a match.

I don't see a connection. Most of my ancestry originated from Hungary and Slovakia.I have not been following you on Geni

Who is M.S.?

Hello All,
I am not MS, but I have a lost great grandfather and his wife my Ggrandmother named Baschechanna (I was told, Michaelevich, or Mishelovich) I never knew the spelling. My great grandfathers name was Jonah Kushelevich, and I have found a ton of info on that family as it was huge, but can not locate any records for them (great grandparents) at all. Since someone posted a similar name I thought I'd reply here. Apparently I had family from Lithuania, Ukraine, Poland, Lucbcha for my great grandparents. Any help would be most appreiciated.

Thanks in advance for any help.
