I descend from the Jewish line - Y-DNA test results confirm I'm in Haplogroup Q1b - Ashkenazi Jew.
My most distant known ancestor is Edward Joseph, b. May 15, 1818 in Fordon, Prussia. He came to US through New York in early 1840's and settled in Woodville, Wilkinson County, MS. There he applied for US Naturalization and also married Lavinia Langford in 1844.
