    I, only have about 50 and there are 4 members in a DNA circle who are descendants of my 3rd great-grandfather Jacob Heiman and my 3rd great-grandmother Elizabetha Litz and 3 of them are identified as Direct genetic matches.

    This is interesting.

    AncestryDNA has updated my results.


    I don't know what they are doing that they updated the results but...


    If Warren can be an Indian with like 1/1024 in her DNA I guess I am now Jewish.


    European Jewish at 1%



    Eastern Europe and Russia Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland & Lithuania 61%
    Italy23%
    Southern Italy
    Baltic States10%
    Greece and the Balkans5%
    European Jewish1%


    The changes are all my father's side of things. My mom is still showing 98% Europe East, poland.... with the last 2% between Europe West and Great Britain.

    I figured I'd feel different by knowing I'm 1% Jewish.

    I still love Bacon.


    It's OK for Jews to Eat Bacon Now, According to Some Biblical Scholars

    Just joking. I don't want to offend people who are anti-bacon

    I can't believe that Elizabeth Warren said she was Native American without any actual documentation all those years. Specially for privileges she may have received while in school. Then you have people in the Democratic Party wondering why so many people are not happy with them.

    I have a friend who just bought a new Jeep. He calls it Elizabeth Warren because it’s white but the car says it’s a Cherokee.

    I got my first official bite on Ancestrydna.com

    A "Picciano"

    So unless Anthony Picciano had some brothers that came over from Italy he may be their great great great Grand Father.

    100th Birthday

    I think if I'm thinking correctly he is my Great Great Grand Father.

    I took care of my grandfather but have vague memories of his mother who would have been my great grand mother. The man in the photo was her father. That would make him my great great grandfather.

    This was my grand father's dad who died at 56. He would have been my great grandfather who worked in a salt mine Retzsof near Geneseo according to the article my great great grand father worked there also.


    My grand father never mentioned that his grand father worked at the mine just that his father worked in the mine.


    100th Birthday

    He also would say how his father would bring him down into the mine to see the mules that pulled the carts




    Somehow this guy came into the picture. Nicholas Orsini. My grandfather always referring to someone as an uncle Nick who either married his mom or something like that. My grandfather would point to a spot in his apartment and say "That is where uncle Nick passed away"

    Speaking of the mine. I don't know if there were more than 1 mine but check this out.

    Retsof Salt Mine

    Men packing salt in bags at the International Salt Co. Retsof mine in York. Salt mining operations had begun on the site in 1884.
    I wish I knew what year that was taken
