    I found some old photos of her and my cousins said she would look Jewish. Would my great-grandma pass from her phentotype / look as Ashkenazi?

    That's definitely a common look for Jews.

    Round frame glasses? Typical Ashkenazi Jew feature.

    Are you sure? Many people in the 40s wore round frame glasses

    It was a joke.

    Many European Jews or people with some Jewish input in their blood are indistinguishable from non-Jews from the same region.

    Being Jewish encompasses so many people with such varied physical characteristics that practically anyone can pass as a Jew.

    Also a non-Jew with no Jewish genetic input can seem very Jewish.
