It would be great to know Steven Spielberg's haplogroup. However I could not find any genealogical information about this Motya (Mordechai) Spilberg, b. abt. 1855. Jewish people tend to change surnames and adopt others relatively frequently. The FTDNA Projects have shown that there are usually many unrelated haplogroups for the same Jewish surnames, even rarer ones. So unless we know for sure that the person who tested is really related to Steven Spielberg, I wouldn't draw too hasty conclusions.
yes i am not sure
even though this russian site link below
member farroukh say in famous e1b1b1 thread
that a relative of spielberg took the dna test

given that spielberg paternal roots are indeed from ukranian jewish background
there is a chance that this mota spielberg is somehow related to him

you are correct though that we can't know for sure :sad-2:
