5 half siblings from 4 different mothers –
a DNA success story
!
Michael Tobias
Scottish Jewish Archives Centre
During the Covid-19 pandemic a woman requested help from genealogical expert Michael to identify her newly discovered (via DNA) Jewish birthfather. She could not have imagined the story about to unfold, that involved research in 7 countries. In 3 short weeks, Michael followed the DNA trail and built family trees for each of 8 significant DNA hits on 3 different websites. He was able to identify the woman’s ties to 5 half-siblings, all of whom share the same father but with 4 different mothers.

Being Jewish in Scotland
Scotland’s Jewish community dates back as far as the 1700s. Small in number until the late 1800s, it grew to around 20,000 during the 1930s and 1940s, with the last phase of immigration driven by the flight before and during World War Two. Then, as now, there are Jewish people living in every local authority of the country. The population remains vibrant but has shrunk to around 6,000. This programme tells their story through a series of intimate, contemporary portraits.
