Yes itchy I found my great grandfather s family where they went ..mostly to USA and where they came from .thanks to a lot of help from Justin ( our Russians were from what is now Latvia)
Also DNA match confirmed some links and a third cousin sent me a photo of the great great grandfather.
I find more things on ancestry now than were there before ...but search in a different way using by location or under nationality use Jewish option .
Did find some useful documents on a visit to Manchester at their record office .
Good luck
That’s good, unfortunately, because my family moved to England, it’s harder to trace, as they didn’t have to register their arrival, the records for those that moved to the US are much easier to trace, as they left a paper trail. That’s a good tip to use ‘jewish’under nationality, thank you
I’ve done a DNA and just waiting on results, so hopefully that may help. I’ve already traced some second cousins, but unfortunately it seems I know more about the ancestry than the rest of the family, even my aunt doesn’t know as much as me! My dad died 15 years ago, so that’s not an option and he was very reluctant to talk about his family, I think there was an air of shame because they were so poor.....
