Origin of Haneles name
The family name Ganeles similarly to the names Ganelin, Gannel and Ganelis came from the name of maternal ancestor of these families -Hana. That is, to be exact, the name should have sounded as Haneles. The letter "G" most likely has appeared because the family lived or moved to Ukraine where, as it is known, the letter "g" sounds almost like the Russian "h".
In comparison with other variants of the name, the name Ganeles is the least spread. Therefore it is most probable that members of the family Ganeles are relatives or descendants of a single family. Today this family is spread all over the world with about one hundred members residing in different area of the USA and many residing in different parts of Russia.

We would like to invite you to help us ressurect the history of your family, to link up the branches of your family tree and to find relatives abroad. Among Jews, due to the manner in which family names were acquired and passed down, there are relatively few people who, although unrelated, bear the same surname as one another. The majority of Jewish people who bear a certain family name can usually trace their roots back to a common ancestor about 5-6 generations back. Further, when two Jewish people bear the same surname, they are usually members of the same broader 'clan', descended of the same extended family.Resurrect your History - for he, who owns the Past also owns the Future.
