Ted Ernst was adopted at birth by (private) who married Ted’s birth mom when Ted was seven weeks old. When he married Celeste Nadeau in 2012, they both changed their last names to Sarvata, a Sanskrit word meaning “wholeness,” or “integrity.”
Current Research Interests
Some branches of my family tree are known way, way back, but some are shorter than 200 years. I’d like to extend the youngest ones back. Here are some of them: Category:Ernst-1231_brickwalls.
DNA
Maternal relationship is confirmed by a 23andMe test match between Ted (Ernst) Sarvata and his second cousin. Their MRCAs are Eugenie Coleta (Adriansens) Jonckheere and Victor Augustus Jonckheere, great grandparents of both Ted (Ernst) Sarvata and his second cousin. Predicted relationship from 23andMe: Second Cousin, based on 355 cM shared across 14 segments.
Paternal relationship is confirmed by a 23andMe test match between Ted (Ernst) Sarvata and his second cousin, once removed. Their MRCAs are Toby “Rosie” Zimmerman and Morris Silverman, 2nd great grandparents of Ted (Ernst) Sarvata and great grandparents of his second cousin, once removed. Predicted relationship from 23andMe: Second Cousin, based on 260cM shared across 12 segments.

It may be possible to confirm family relationships.
It is likely that these

Hi Ted -thank you for being a member of the Jewish Roots Project! I wanted to let you know about some new things we have going on.
- You can see new tabs at the top of our home page, where you can select topics to view or work on. You can also use our new maintenance categories - feel free to add them to your own family, or any other Jewish Roots profile, or work on the maintenance yourself, such as adding new records to profiles with only a couple sources.
-I'm sending an invitation to join GoogleGroups, which we are re-starting this week. We'll probably do most group chat there, but the most important things will be posted on G2G, which you will be notified about if you follow the jewish_roots tag.
-You can also join Wikitree's discord server, where we have a Jewish Roots chat channel.
-If you have ideas or suggestions for the project, feel free to reply here or send me a message.
Thank you! -Elaine, co-leader for Jewish Roots Project
I'm completing check-ins for the Palatine Migration Project. If you are interested in being an active member of the project please send me a private message.
If I don't hear from you, I'll remove your name from our list of participants. If you are not interested or able to participate at the present time, you are always welcome to sign up at any future date.
Ted, I agree we should be able to represent the family reality of everyone, including those where adoption is part of their family story.
As I may have mentioned - I don't expect such a deep change in the system infrastructure to allow this in the formal fields we have where parents are specified here, largely because it causes a complex cascade in the information presented, something that would need to be checked at each generation, and everywhere it is reported.
However, aside from the formal place of parent data fields, one can tell one's story and make those connections in the biography/text section. One doesn't get the same ability to generate reports in this way, but one can still click up a generation and run reports on their ancestors.
I recommend posting your view on G2G - perhaps there are other better ways to handle this.
Ted, do you happen to speak any other languages? Would you check out our languages template and add it to your biography? For example you might add
{{ Languages | en | ro-2 | he-1 }}
to the top of your biography if you speak English natively, intermediate Rumanian and basic Hebrew, or you could use de-4 to specify near-native German or ru-2 for intermediate Russian, and so forth up to ten languages.
It really helps to know who speaks all the different languages used on WikiTree! If there is a language you speak that is missing from our categories, I would be happy to add it. If you only speak English, you're very welcome to use this text to make that clear:
