I told you my family’s story in response to your post,
“Sorry you haven’t been working with us. His father and mother hid the fact they were proud Jews. His mother even had her photos touched to look as another nationality. There’s articles about hiding their heritage instead of being open. Gates has gone through life for some reason trying to hid this fact. Why?”
My paternal grandmother changed her name and everything to pass as Hispanic instead of Cherokee. Same reason as my maternal grandfather’s family.
I dont assume the Gate’s are any different.
