    My maternal grandfather disappeared in Hungary after being taken by the Russians when my mother was 8 yrs old. She said that as far as she knew he was made to work on laying railway tracks and was never heard of again. Her family even got Red Cross to search for him but it was as if he disappeared off the face of the earth. No trace was ever found. My mum later married my dad and they both left Hungary during the Uprising and emigrated to UK arriving on her 21st birthday. Although I was born in UK, my heart lies with Hungary as that’s where all my relatives still live.

    One of my maternal great grandmothers was Jewish, us kids never met her, but we surely knew everything about her, my Mother was very proud of her heritage and she made sure we knew where we came from. Also remember my mother insisting we watch every documentary, that came on the TV, about the Holocaust. I was the youngest of 5 children and was only 5 or 6 years old the first time I saw the inhumanity and attempted genocide that the Jewish people endured. We no longer are of the Jewish religion, but we are forever connected to the Jewish People.

I know at some point he got arrested and they beat him up so badly, that he was not able to ever walk normaly again, and I've been told my great grandmother poisend herself, before the Gestapo could get her, but other than that I am totally in the dark.

It was a safe place for them, because there were no pogroms in Hungary, not like in other European countries. But they were not equal to christians. At the end of the 18th century the king, Jozef II. said if the Jews wanted to have the same rights that the christians had, they had to have family names. Before that Jews didn't have family names. And they had to choose Germain names only, because king Jozef wanted Germain language to be the official language all over the Empire. (didn't happen) Hungary was the part of the Habsburg Empire. That's why most of the Jewish people still have Germain names in Hungary.

    I always thought she was Jewish since the beginning of time. It surprised me to hear that she had no idea or was raised any other way. Great musician.

    Love Alanis. I also discovered my Jewish roots through Ancestry DNA. I had no idea. It comes from my maternal grandfather.

    My grandfather was in the British army that liberated Belsen. He could never speak of what he saw. He only mentioned the stench that was apparent from miles around.

    So many went underground during these dark times due to prosecution. I know our family did also .. I want to know more about mine..My great great Aunt told me stories and some of the family and tried to keep it covered up. I suspect I am Ashkenazi according to her .

      That would be cool. If my memory serves Rosie O'Donnell had French Canadian connections with her closer relatives (her family is mainly Irish)

      They do in the full episode. They find the house her family inhabited near Quebec City in the 17th century, and they trace the family back to the town of Surgères in Nouvelle-Aquitaine. She also has roots in Nova Scotia, where one of her direct ancestors was a lumberjack who survived going over a waterfall in a raft. There was a folk song written about him and his companions who did not survive-don’t be surprised if her version of it shows up on a future album.

    That's exactly what conversos did when they arrived in the Americas, the Azores, Madeira, etc...Parents rarely spoke of their heritage to the kids. Within a generation or two, all was buried.

    I absolutely love this show. To see where your roots began has always been a passion of mine. I have worked on Mine and My Husbands family tree for years with hours upon hours of work over the years one thing still remains a secret is My Mother in-laws adoption. No matter where I turn or look next....that wall cannot be climbed. With watching this show, I hope to find out ways to overcome this obstacle.

      How lucky to have caught one of Alanis' amazing performances. DM! It's great to see that you enjoyed learning about her own journey into her family history and we hope it inspires you to delve back into your research should you still have remaining questions about your own family tree. Make sure to let us know if we can ever assist you further along the way! ❤️

      @AncestryUS A DNA test revealed that one side of my family is Jewish. I have no details on how that was determined. I was given a self-portrait of a family member in a striped shirt just like what was worn in those camps. I am hoping to get more information from the family member who gave me the DNA information and the drawings of him and Audrey Hepburn.

    Like Madlen Ulbriet who descovered her Jewish roots.
    Seemes people knew but ignored.
    More likely people hided it because they thought it will desturb them in life.
