Oh my Elohim!!! ???
I have always felt like there might be Jewish roots in my genealogy, just a feeling in my spirit. Tonight I felt moved to look up the origin of my great grandparents' surnames on my Dad's side. They immigrated from Portugal. That and their names was all I had to go on.
Apparently there IS a strong possibility they were!!!
Both surnames were common to the Jewish population in Portugal and Spain at the time. Then I also have Cherokee ?, Irish, Scottish and German on my mother's side.

I'm just so incredibly ....
There's no name for the emotion but increased yearning.

Their names were Joseph Duarte and Marie Botelho.
