Tracing the Tribe for Jewish Genealogy

I am new to the group. My Jewish heritage includes NELSON ancestors who came from Emmendingen in Baden, Germany. NELSON does not sound like a very Jewish (or German) name, but this is the surname they took when Jewish families were required to adopt common surnames. I am also involved in helping friends research their LIPPERT ancestors from Niesky in Sachsen.

I been working on my family history from the oldest reference to present, when i found a dna research.

I found out i have Hebrew dna, EM35 in sub group eL117. I have the same dna as the Levy family.

As far as the Dna i belong to the berbers who are a jewish tribe that lived in northen africa and migrated to spain were we mix with the natives r1b Barque / Irish and the J2 Northen jerusalem Palestine/Hebrew families.

The berber jews havebeen refere to as Sephardic / Spanish , And Bohemian / Germany

I am searching for information on Harry Shuper, a German who emigrated from Russia to US (and through Portal ND from Canada) in the first decade of the 20th century. Harry Shuper was a fur trader and was accompanied by his wife Bertha Miller.

I am researching Kopstein (Novogrudok Belarus), Korlitsky (Minsk Belarus), Adler (Bucharest Romania), Greenberg (Romania), Hillenbrand (Romania), Slutsky(Luben Russia), Nosovitsky (Russia), Borock (Romania) . All of these family lines moved to the United States except for Kopstein and Korlitsky who for the most part moved to Canada. I have a couple of brick walls so any help appreciated.

I am researching Samuel L. Lewis and Flora Gesas and their ancestors from Lithuania formerly in Russia. They immigrated in the 1800's to New York City then to Southern Idaho then passed away in Chicago, ILL. I'd appreciate any help with especially the Lewis line.
