From Russian Village to North Dakota Prairie: The Story of Joseph Nudelman

Image
While my SNYDER Big Y-DNA test didn't provide many matches, I was able to contact the family of Joseph Nudelman, who is listed as an Earliest Known Ancestor. Our Y-DNA lines separated over 1,000 years ago, so he is a very distant relative. Here is his story: Joseph Nudelman's life story is a testament to the resilience and ambition of Jewish immigrants in the late 19th century.

Snyder/Gouline/Highstein/Bass - 2025 New Year Genealogy Letter

His mother, Yenta Blyuma is the same as his first born Jeanne Highstein’s Hebrew name. His older sisters were Ita (same as daughter Ida Glass) and Malka (same as Marcella Witriol). His Grandfather was Volf (same as Willy Gouline). The family is from Lutzk which is where I began searching for them. I even went to the Archives there when Carol and I were in Ukraine in 2018. This family record has expanded the Gouline family another 3 generations by confirming his father Moyshe Gersh, adding Yenat Blyuma his mother, adding Volf, his...
