An direct ancestor of mine, a gggg grandfather is listed in a book of Early Jewish Settlers of Texas. To our family's knowledge we have never been Jewish, his original ancestor came from Wales.

Our ancestors name was Elijah Issack and he settled in east Texas about 1828. Within 2 generations the family was Baptist. Yet another reason for DNA testing.

Interesting story. As much as we regard our heritage as important to us, because we each have two parents, we’re also likely to have it filtered and refined by the time we receive it. :’)
