Jewish Genealogy - DNA–and Jewish Genealogy Join Forces by Herbert Huebscher &
Elsie Friedman
The article indicates the use of DNA to suggest the possible relationships between seemingly unrelated individuals, in fact, persons with totally different surnames and disparate geographical origins. Of interest was that, of the 42 families, all but 7 families are currently Jewish and some but not all point to having Levite status. The acronym for this family is WIRTH. It points out the company which at this time has the largest Jewish database.

Jewish Genealogy-- Change of names in the Palestine Gazette (1921-1948)
List of 28,256 changes of names registered in the Palestine Gazette during the British Mandate over Palestine--During the period of the British Mandate in Palestine (1921-1948) people who legally changed their name had this information posted in the British/Palestinian publication called the "Palestine Gazette." 28,256 names were published showing the old name, new name and sometimes country of origin. Not everyone legally changed their name, perhaps fewer than 50% did so. Most of them were Jews. The names were extracted by Gary Mokotoff and the late Rabbi Shmuel Gorr in the 1980s and published on microfiche by Avotaynu. The repository is of value to genealogists who know that relatives went to Eretz Yisrael and changed their name but the new name is not known. For the 2004 Conference, the Israel Genealogical Society has scanned these microfiches, and converted them into digital format via optical character recognition. The result is an easily accessible, searcheable database. http://www.isragen.org.il/siteFiles/1/153/4971.asp
