About Me
- Name: Joels W.
- Location: United States
I am an independent research historian and genealogist and currently working on my first book that will explore the Sephardic origin of many Eastern European Jews. I hope to correspond on this blog with like minded individuals and learn more about the subjects being discussed as well as impart some of my own knowledge to others. Please be considerate and give proper credits when reproducing anything from this site. Thank you.

My mother had a Greek maiden name, Lapides, although her parents and grandparents came from Russia.
I'd like to know if anyone knows why Jews would leave sunny Greece to go to Russia and when that might have been. It has always fascinated me, expecially since my mom looked Greek.
If anyone has any info, I'd appreciate it. Or, if you know of other people named Lapides, I'd like to get in touch with them.
Thanks,
