A profile I am working with (my great-grandfather) is a close match to some members of the Treves family project at FTDNA. The project contains a member claiming direct paternal descent from R. Yochanan of Treves. My great-grandfather had a tradition of being a Levi, another close match to the Treves descendent has a tradition that the family are Kohanim. Is anyone aware of any rabbinic traditions regarding the Treves family's status as Kohein/Levi/Yisroel. Thanks Malka Mysels Matityahu (III) Ashkenazi Treves, [Chief Rabbi of France]

Bentzion Shlomo Turin Just uploaded two pages from Dr. Neil Rosenstein's "The Lurie Legacy" that touches on the Treves family origins. Nowhere is there any mention of a Kohein connection. See the two pages under documents for Matisyah Treves.
If you wish to discuss this information further, perhaps you might consider contacting Private User the eminent rabbinical genealogist and author of the Lurie Legacy.
