According to my information, based on a DNA test taken by Zvika, we've got the wrong Hershle here - Avrum Vulis was son of R' Hirsh of Korostishuv, Grandson of R' Menachem Nachum of Chernobil; R' Hirsh was married to Sima Husha, daugher of R' Aharon of Tituv. I think it's best to address Dmitry Vulis, who manages the Vulis family tree here on Geni, to see if there's a reason he didn't change this here (I think he should know about this DNA test).

Best regards,

Dmitry Vulis

Hello, apologies, I just noticed this discussion. My 5th cousin with a similar name was tagged, and you probably meant to tag me. :)

Yes, there was a paper a few years ago (https://www.academia.edu/40462414/Baal_Shem_Tov_Y_DNA_Research_Study - free download) " Baal Shem Tov Y-DNA Research Study (Pre-Publication Draft)" by Jeffrey Mark Paull and Jeffrey Briskman.

I've tried to bring Geni in line with this paper, i.e. that Avrum Vulis was the son of R' Tzvi Hirsh of Karistchev and Sime Chushe Ashkenazi. Please don't hesitate to comment / edit / correct.
