So I’m in the process of learning more about my ancestors and their folk practices but I’m having a hard time finding genuine information- so I turn to you, who I’m assuming, has a lot more information to help me dive into my research.
My estranged grandfather’s family is from Siberia and has Ashenazi heritage as far as I’m told from my now late father. My paternal grandmother is also dead and my mom doesn’t have much information on that side of the family.
It’s easy to trace back my maternal side to eastern Europe, but it’s my dad’s side I’m really interested in learning about. In the past my estranged grandfather (still alive?) has made it clear he wants nothing to do with our side of his family. My dad was a bastard and it’s bad blood I guess.
Does anyone have any information or resources I can look into about the Jewish folk who ended up in Siberia? I’ll be honest I’m mostly ignorant on terms and on the religion as a whole, so please be kind!
ETA: hey! So I feel like adding this really quick, this isn’t a question about IF I’m Ashkenazi but about the culture that my family may have participated in!
