  • Name Raphael Horwitz 
    Nickname Raphal Gurovitch 
    Born Abt 1785 
    Gender Male 
    Notes 
    • This Raphal Gurevich is inferred by the Patronomic Information in the Census and Family Records. Even if he actually existed I am speculating that he belongs to this family. His inferred age seems to fit the family. He could have come from another place, the names in his family do not jibe as much with the other families. Dave Howard, Oct 2005.

    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.
