Are Your Parents Related?
Since you inherit half of your DNA from each of your parents, it stands to reason that large blocks of SNPs where both alleles are the same would be an indication that your parents each inherited that block from the same ancestor. These are called 'Runs of Homozygosity' (ROH). There are other utilities available that look for ROH for other purposes, but this analysis is specifically aimed at determining how closely related your parents might be.
Dawn Siegel , Martha would not have inherited mtDNA from Della "Jenny" Ferrin because she is the daughter of that woman's son. The son cannot pass his mother's mtDNA to his daughter. Martha gets her mtDNA from her own mother.
And again, Martha's mtDNA and your discoveries about your own parents, while interesting and important, are not relevant to the question of Sarah Bloom Cohen's parents.

Re: https://www.geni.com/discussions/239212?msg=1513659 - No, I hadn't seen it.
Usually I scroll forward and backward from a Naturalization Petition - definitely would have registered that if I had seen it.
Looking forward to your posting.
(PS - If it is Nat. Petition and just the one page, then it is the main page. Not sure I have come across any other Affadavits, so not sure how I would title them, but would not just say Nat. Petition)

Yes, we will going to Safford, Arizona tomorrow. Cora Marie Ferrin - 3 missing children. I am related to Cora Marie Ferrin by Mike G. from Denmark. I knew Arthur Harold Ferrin had three wives - mtDNA from Denmark, Sweden, England. Never know Arthur Harold Ferrin have another partners. He was 101 years old Jewish man.
Private User - for some reason the link just gives "Error
You don't have permission to view this item." - but I can see the photo of the Affidavit fine on the Profile. Thanks.
The Affidavit was dated June 20, 1932, the Newspaper article was published August 1932 - Do not know if an example of a newspaper getting something wrong or??
Definitely do not suggest the same thing.
In the Affidavit he states firmly he had had a certified copy of a Certificate issued to someone with same name as his father, same town but possibly not his father - but which version of his father's name? Would be interested in seeing it if it exists.
If we believe the Affidavit, then his father died circa 1894, yes? (1893 to 1895)

I have created this discussion for Mitchell and Dawn to use for discussing and analyzing there DNA connections.
https://www.geni.com/discussions/239445
Mitchell and Dawn, please post all comments on that topic there, not here.
I will respond to you there, unless you indicate THERE that you would prefer I didn't.
Sorry about the link. Wonder if it's a bug, since the image was public?
Golda Rose Levy Burke , at least for the Bloom family, many of the gravestones have already been photographed. Unfortunately, they don't have their Hebrew names: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/71960429/david-walter-bloom
Lois, if we believe the affidavit, David Walter Bloom's father died "shortly after" David left Russia. Whether "shortly after" is 1 month, 1 year, or some longer period, I don't know.
David was 14ish when he left Russia and 52ish when he filed the affidavit, so "shortly after" may be relative. For the purposes of the affidavit, it was enough that David's father was long deceased. David Walter Bloom states that someone questioned his right to vote in 1910, at which point he forwarded a copy of his father's papers, and then sometime subsequent to that (perhaps shortly before he filed the new citizenship application and affidavit?) someone had questioned his father's papers.
It would be nice to find David's father's papers (though in the 1890s they'd be of limited detail) and David's father's death record. I found a death record for a man I believe could be David's father, but it's dated 1911. I don't know if David's father dying "shortly after he left" in 1894 rules that out or not.
Mitchell - Do you have any Documentation for Herbert (Herzl) Bloom
or for any of his wives??
So far, we just have the info mentioned in this Discussion, mainly:

Mitchell, the 1911 document may belong to someone else -- I'm not sure. Just someone with the same name living in the same town in Lithuania. There was at least one other person in the same town with the same name who died in 1878, so it may have been a family name that was reused by several cousins.
Err, I guess the 1878 deceased man lived somewhere else.
But in any case, in the absence of a more definite death date and location, I can't be sure the 1811 death certificate belongs to the right Herzl. If David Walter Bloom did mean that his father died within a couple of years of his leaving Russia, then it's the wrong man.
Let us know if it contains anything interesting, Golda Rose Levy Burke !
Meanwhile, re: "Bessie Kaplan" as possible mother of Sarah:
I found a ship manifest for a Sarah Blum of Kowno, age 18, arriving in Boston in November 1899 aboard the Maasdam. Sarah Blum's passage was paid by an unnamed brother and she was going to her cousin "L Kaplan" at 42 [Sa...?] St. in Boston.
Could it be this Sarah? Here is a direct link to the page at Ancestry (see line 4). https://www.ancestry.com/imageviewer/collections/7488/images/NYT715...
There is a 1900 census record for a boarder Sarah Bloom living with a Herman family on the same street as someone named Bessie Kaplan. (Not the street mentioned in the passenger manifest.) However,it's unclear whether this Bessie Kaplan has any connection to the Bloom family or whether it's pure coincidence. In any case, this Bessie Kaplan in Boston was the married name of someone married to Isaac Kaplan, so presumably it's not Sarah Bloom's mother.
