First, will this trait show up in a female?
Second, is this Four-Mile Creek or Skinquarter Edward?If so, he is my Edward also and, as a matter of interest, my dad was told by several doctors that he had some Jewish traits. . .he never knew from where.I had written it off as their being Mediterranean (sp?) traits (which I have without knowing where they came from).Chances are good that we are double descendants of Edward.
Third, there is a Jewish Goode line.Alexander Goode, one of the four chaplains who went down with a ship in WW II (maybe I) was the Jewish chaplain.There is a thread about the Jewish Goodes in the Goode forum on ancestry.com.
I have been thinking about the DNA - want to wait a little while if they will know a lot more. . .but you have made me think about going ahead.
