A New Brod/Brotman Discovery—Thanks to Leah Larkin! I hit a solid brick wall over thirteen years ago trying to find ancestors earlier than my great-grandparents on the Brotman/Brod branch of my tree. I still continued to find cousins, like my Goldfarb cousins, but even that had seemed to end. But recently another new Brotman/Brod cousin and I connected, thanks to the DNA Geek, Leah Larkin, the nationally known expert on genetic genealogy who has been helping me for years in my efforts to learn more about my Brotman/Brod family.

In Memory of My Cousin Sue I lost a dear cousin on August 25, 2025, my cousin Sue (Leyner) Wartur (1938-2025). Sue was my third cousin and also my half second cousin, once removed, making us double cousins. Sue’s grandfather Julius Goldfarb was my maternal grandmother’s first cousin. And Sue’s grandmother Ida Hecht Goldfarb was the daughter of Taube Brotman Hecht, my grandmother’s half-sister. Sue and I were doubly bonded by our mutual family trees.
