Yet another reminder of how deep the Christian and Jewish influence is ingrained in this nation, and how alien Islam is from our history and values. Let's pray we keep it uninfected by Islam.
Lazarus comes to mind.

You are remarkable. I don't know how you are able to find all of these.
Thank you for your hard work.
That is so fascinating. I am waiting to discover that cajuns are jews. I swwear, after having lived on the east coast for thirty years and known jews very well, the similarities are astonishing. Jewish women and cajun women are like sisters. The mothering, the humor, the persona of the cajun woman is so very jewish. I have been saying this for ten years. I have a cajun brother in law who is more jewish than anyone I have ever known and his family are pure cajuns back to when they migrated here.
Has any research been done on this? If not, someone ought to. I think the acadians might have been expelled from france because they werre jews.
It's about the same where I live in South Texas. I have a Jewish great grandfather on my mothers side of the family. There were several Jewish ranchers in this area at one time.
(That's right. Jewish cowboys. There is such a thing in case anybody has ever wondered about it.)
The French who settled in Quebec were from the north of France, particularly Normandy. (John Keegan in his book Fields of Battle comments on how the French Canadians of Quebec remind him of the French of Normandy.)
When the French ceded Acadia to Britain in 1713 there were only 1700 Acadians. Their numbers had increased by 1755 when 6,000 Acadians who refused to take the oath of allegiance to Britain were deported--some of these later managed to return.
The policy of the French government was to allow only Catholics to settle in the colonies. I don't know if there were any Jews who were openly identified as such living in France in the mid-17th century when Acadia was settled...undoubtedly there were some Frenchmen with long-forgotten Jewish ancestors.
I'd guess that if the acadians were Jewish, we'd have heard about it. There were Jewish traders in Louisiana in the late 17th early 18th century though. Enough of them that the King of France had them expelled. I understand the edict wasn't really enforced.
THE "BLACK CODE" OF LOUISIANA March, 1724
Louis, by the Grace of God, King of France and of Navarre, to all present and to come, greeting. The Directors of the Company of the Indies having represented to us that the Province and colony of Louisiana is considerably established, by a large number of our subjects, who use slaves for the cultivation of the lands. ...
ARTICLE I orders that the edict of 1615 be applied to Louisiana, and that all Jews who may have established their religion there be expelled within three months, under penalty of confiscation of body and property.
Continued at link, deals largely with slavery.
Anthropology, qualifies for a:
GGG Ping.
Thanks! Interesting. My family was here before the La Purchase so I guess we may really be French. Of course the Spanish owned us for a while so who knows.

This is probably what you're talking about.
Who Really Discovered America?
"Did ancient Hebrews reach the shores of the North and South American continents thousands of years before Christopher Columbus? What evidence is there for Hebrew and Israelite occupation of the Western Hemisphere even a thousand years before the Messiah? Was trans-Atlantic commerce and travel fairly routine in the days of king Solomon of Israel? Read here the intriguing, fascinating saga of the TRUE DISCOVERERS OF AMERICA!"
Columbus had just about given up (so the story goes) on getting Spanish support for his voyage west to reach the east idea, when he was summoned to court and told he had his money. The Reconquista had finally been completed (old reckoning Jan 2, 1492), meaning that the Moors were finally driven out of Iberia, and Ferdie and Izzy had some room in the budget.
There's a persistent story that Columbus was Jewish (can be seen in the fun paperback "The Jewish Connection"), or that his parents had converted to Christianity while retaining some Jewish beliefs here and there, passed down to Columbus. I'm 99 per cent that isn't true.
Columbus did travel to Iceland to gather information about the pre-Little Ice Age Norse voyages to the lands west, which Columbus presumed were Asia or parts thereof.
perhaps this is apropos here...

Texas has been pretty good to the Jews. Even LBJ had a secret operation sneaking Jews into Texas when Washington was turning them back to Nazi Germany.

That page on the Hebrew inscriptions is potentially very interesting, if it has been credibly confirmed.
"Near the end of the 1989 Gran Vilaya expedition, Savoy and his team of intrepid explorers came upon a set of inscribed tablets on the outskirts of the city, hidden away high in a cliffside cave. Among the many inscriptions contained on these large dolmen-type tablets was a symbol similar to the one used by King Solomon to mark the ships he sent to the land of Ophir to recover gold and precious stones for his temple in Jerusalem. Other symbols in the inscriptions appeared to be of proto-Sinaitic origin as well. So it is that Savoy is now engaged in a seven-year voyage to document links between the high civilizations of ancient times on the seven continents and to determine the true location of the biblical land of Ophir."
I find this possibility intriguing. May explain the Chachapoyas.(?)
