The Central Database of Shoa Victims' Names (Holocaust)
link below shows a number of Hollingers who were killed in the Holocaust. This was a surprise to us as all the Hullingers we knew were Protestant. We are very sorry for our Polish and Romanian cousins and consider ourselves fortunate that our ancestors stayed in Switzerland or migrated to America. |
Most Hullingers who were killed in the Holocaust were living in Romania or Poland. I had wondered if these folks had converted from Christian to Jewish, but given the origin of our "J" Chromosome it seems more likely that our ancestors converted from Judaism to Christianity.
The name Hullinger sounds German, not Romanian or Polish. Surnames in German speaking areas became common after the 1100's. It seems likely that the Hollinger / Hullinger name developed in a German speaking area, with some of our cousins later immigrating to Poland and Rumania.

There are forty Holliger’s listed in the on line phonebook for Israel. These folks are probably descended from European Jews. We do not know if we are related to them, but will probably know when they test for their "Y" DNA.
