Description
The Bleifer/Blafergenetic haplotype places our origin in North Africa and the Middle East. The existing family has its modern origin in Ukraine. The family surname is strange in that it is not Russian, Yiddish, or found in any language name group. The 'ei'dipthong in the name is pronounced as 'ei' in eight. The only other Bleifer families known to me had its origin in Krakow Poland area or old England and they are not related to us.
The Blafer public website on www.Geni.com includes information for the eight grandparent lineages of Deanna Goldstein Blafer and Jerome L. Blafer: Blafer (Bleifer), Bein, Chalek (Chalick, Cheilek, Chalik), Cutler (Catler), Groveman (Gruvman, Grovman, Gruverman), Goldstein/Zoltkevitz (Zalatkevitz), Goldstein/Sczupakiewicz (Schupakevitz), Kutcher (Kuczer), and Steisel.
Requirements
A Surname Project traces members of a family that share a common surname. They are of the most interest in cultures where surnames are passed on from father to son like the Y-Chromosome. This project is for males taking a Y-Chromosome DNA (Y-DNA) test. Thus, the individual who tests must be a male who wants to check his direct paternal line (father's father's father's...) with a Y-DNA12, Y-DNA37, Y-DNA67, or Y-DNA111 test and who has one of the surnames listed for the project. Females do not carry their father's Y-DNA. Females who would like to check their father's direct paternal line can have a male relative with his surname order a Y-DNA test. Females can also order an mtDNA test for themselves such as the mtDNAPlus test or the mtFullSequence test and participate in an mtDNA project. Both men and women may take our autosomal Family Finder test to discover recent relationships across all family lines.
