So I’m signing up for the Bone Marrow Registry… can anyone tell me what I should put here? My dad’s family are originally Jews from Belarus in the late 1800s but moved to America around the turn of the century and have been living in NJ for the last 100+ years. So does that mean I choose “North America” or “Eastern European”?
Update: Yes, I can check both, so that’s probably the right move.
I’m signing up too. I probably won’t be able to help Kyle, but I’ve always wanted to be on the registry.

eastern european, particularly if they’re Ashkenazi Jews - for the genetic markers. For a while the community was *very* insular.
