I'm pushing the envelope & asking as male members as possible for DNA tests on my birthday. I want to know
at least whether I'm a kohenet (female descendant of Aharon ben-'Amram v'Yokheved, v'HaKohein). Any
male descendants, please get your DNA checked for Jewish-- especially kohein-- markers for our common
lineages if you can.
On a side note, Kevin-- even though we don't share the Levshiks in common as far as we know--, you won't
be able to find the Levshik connection in the mtDNA; since Jewish women don't have Jewish DNA
(Remember that DNA of any ethnic sort gets passed down only in the Y-DNA). Thank G-d, we were able to
use that your Levit relative used the common device (the Levi surname variant) to establish that she was a bat-
Levi.
