Don't be confused by the article title..

For my solution I basically used

private void MouseOverEvent(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
        DependencyObject dep = (DependencyObject)e.OriginalSource;

         // iteratively traverse the visual tree
         while ((dep != null) &&
                 !(dep is DataGridCell) &&
                 !(dep is DataGridColumnHeader))
         {
            dep = VisualTreeHelper.GetParent(dep);
         }

         if (dep == null)
            return;

         if (dep is DataGridColumnHeader)
         {
            DataGridColumnHeader columnHeader = dep as DataGridColumnHeader;
            // do something
         }

         if (dep is DataGridCell)
         {
            DataGridCell cell = dep as DataGridCell;

            // navigate further up the tree
            while ((dep != null) && !(dep is DataGridRow))
            {
               dep = VisualTreeHelper.GetParent(dep);
            }

            DataGridRow row = dep as DataGridRow;

           //!!!!!!!!!!!!!* (Look below) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

         }

• • Now you can obtain your own object by using row.Item, and bingo, its on the correct row index

So all about using the mouse original source and going up he VisualTree until you get to the right element.
