I copy-pasted this list from the main JRP page. The main JRP page will be featured on WT Bingo, and I didn't know if some of these people might not wish to have their names on the Youtube page.

Members

• Kat Venegas - 22% - 40% Ashkenazi , Moroccan Jew and Sephradic Jew. I am working on recording the history of the Jewish Jacobus and Salomon family lines. I am the originator of the Jacobus Name Study
• Joel Layman - Original spelling of my last name appears to be "Lehman" or even "Lehmann". In German, it seems to denote Askenazi ancestry; however, in Switzerland, it seems to denote more of "a place or location". DNA evidence, once tests are completed should help tremendously. I converted to Reform Judaism in 2010.
• K Bloom - Researching Ashkenazim from Russia - Poland - Lithuania - Belarus - Ukraine.
• Lynden Raber Rodriguez - I look forward to this project. With 1-2% Jewish DNA, I hope to find out more about my own roots, or at least determine how far back I need to go in order to pick up a lead.
• Bob Hvitfeldt - As my mother's family is/was 100% Jewish, I've been pretty lucky in finding ancestors. All four great grandparents are well-attested and sourced. A first cousin and I have found 7 of our 8 great great grandparents and 5 of 16 great great great grandparents.
• Tanya Peyton Jacobberger Sephardic Jew < 2%
• Roberta Burnett My father's unknown father and those family lines are the source of my 21% Ashkenazi lineage. I'm persistent but unsuccessful in finding those in the gap between my father (LNAB RUDOLF BERG) and Betty Berman Kirshner and her brother Samuel Philip Berman, We are a "centimorgan-match" in an ftdna auDNA test in 2014. Betty and Sam died in 2016. THIS relationship is based on auDNA test at ftdna.com. Roberta is the originator of Jewish Roots Project.
• Lynn Gazis - I have 4% Sephardic Jewish DNA on FTDNA, and a 3% Iberian on 23andMe that I suspect represents the same ancestral line. I have a particular interest in Thessaloniki/Salonika.
• Christine Hills My roots are in the Sephardic Jewish Community, Bevis Marks Synagogue, London, England.My 4 x Gt. Grandfather circumcised there, 5x Gt. Grandparents married there. 3 x Great Grandmother married a Christian and appears to have left the Jewish community, but all the family were aware of her Jewish connection. I am also researching the Jewish family of Edith Stein, philosopher (Phenomonologist) & Catholic Saint who died at Auschwitz, as did other members of her family.
• Youri Lacan-Bartley - I am researching the possibility that I might have Jewish ancestors and also looking to trace a friend's family members.
• Nicolas LaPointe - My maternal grandmother's patrilineal heritage is most likely Ashkenazi. According to a DNA test, I am approximately 2% European Jewish.
• Herman Overmars- I AM very interested in the Jewish History of Mokum(Amsterdam) and the Family Citroen Koblenz, Metz and Citroen Meijer.
• Amy Utting - I am researching possible Jewish ancestors based on my surname (which is Yiddish), likely to be Ashkenazi of German or Swedish occupation.
• Levi Martínez My FTDNA test shows that I have 12% Sephardic Jewish DNA, and 28% of my European (44% overall) ethnic makeup comes from Iberia.
