About Me
By Deborah Sharon Friedman
I have been working on my genealogy since about 1972 when my grandmother Alice Silverman Benioff gave me a large, nearly illegible, handwritten tree, xeroxed and taped together with yellowed Scotch Tape. I spent many years asking questions and putting together trees of different branches of my family. Later I joined Ancestry.com, and I now have a tree of the extended family with more than 6,000 people. If you would like access to this tree, please contact me and I can send you a link.
I have my DNA at Ancestry, 23 & Me, My Heritage, Family Tree DNA, and GedMatch. I have been able to find many family members in this way. I have also uncovered some mysteries, such as the fact that our Friedman family tree is linked to the Lurias. Please let me know if you have any questions about our DNA by filling out the form above.
