Genealogy / I Gotta Ask: Who Else Is a Jewish-Polish Person With an Interesting Testimony? [48]
I have always thought myself to be mostly Polish (according to family) however, after having my dna tested, it seems on my mother's side (mtdna), there is an awful lot of similarities to the Ashkenazi Jewish gene data base. Not sure if this is coincidence or if there is some real evidence there. For what it matters, all I know is that my great grandmother's last name was £os, and she was from Białystok. Furthermore, she never said anything about this. Coincidence? Truth? Something hidden? Who knows?
I also match my Mtdna in HVR I and HVR II at a genetic distance of 0 to a person who is Jewish and whose mother has lived in Israel since the 1700's? Strange? Haplogroup is H, subclade is pending results. I might also add that I match with someone whose family is from Belgium. Of course these matches are many generations ago.
