    David Howard and Jeff Horwitz have have their yDNA tested and we are both are in Haplogroup Q which probably evolved in Siberia about 20,000 years ago. About 4% of Northern European Jewish (Ashkenazim) men are in this group. Only Jewish men appear to have markers +L245 and +F1680. So far not many other Horwitz families have this marker. There is a lot of speculation how this got into the Jewish family. Only Jewish men have this marker in the Northern European population.

      The record shows Schewel Gurewitsch son of Getzel 54-1896 [born about 1842] and his wife Hassa Gurewitsch 53-1896 [born about 1843].
      This couple is shown as part of the same family as Genech who is also the son of Getzel. I have therefore assumed he is Genech's brother.
