I'm going back over my family tree trying to find the lone Jew. Here are some names that seems suspect to me. Should I research any of these further?
On my dad's side:
Haufe-Germany
Meier- Germany
Dernier-Germany
Reidlingshoeffer-Germany
Kauslauskaz- Lithuania
Buebelis- Lithuania
Gregaitis-Lithuania
Mom's side
Kulp
Denzler
Knipe
King
Taylor.
I have ruled out my mother's maiden name Gilman , as being Jewish. Although it sounds really Jewish- it's one of those cases where it's an overtly English surname and there is no evidence of any Jewish ancestry on that line. It was originally French "Gilliam" and they were in the Queen's Rangers and members of the Episcopal church in Colonial Virginia.
