Netta’s Unique Mix
MyHeritage discovered some incredible historical records of Netta’s ancestors that trace her family history back nearly 300 years. By delving into her past, Netta revealed her connection to new people and places in the present, and discovered that we are part of One Big Family.
MyHeritage researchers located his gravestone in Israel, which indicates his Polish origins.


One of the MyHeritage researchers also has origins in Tomashov Lubelski. He traveled there to conduct the research in person, and discovered a map of the town from the late 1930’s that lists the names of the residents. The family name Szpisajzen appears in several places.
Thanks to the map, he was able to find and visit the house where Netta’s great-grandfather Natan lived nearly 100 years ago, before moving to Israel in 1934.

As the researcher added new details to Netta’s family tree, he discovered that he himself is related to Netta by marriage!


Netta couldn’t believe that MyHeritage was able to obtain a sample of the soap from her great-great-grandfather’s factory.
