    Notes 
    • Afrom is in the record by inference from the family record for his son Getzel born 1872 where Getzel's patronymic is Afroim and Getzel is the name of Afroim's father (assumed). Getezel's brother's patronymic is Afroim as well. Getzel's mother, Liba is living with the family at Soldatskaya street 7, and her age in 1897 was 57 indicating a year of birth of 1840. We have used 1840 as his year of birth as well.

      When we have more information this may have to be corrected.

    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.
