I heard from my mom that my Uncle went to China once and did an ancestral study on my maternal Grandmother (who has some slight features that don't look Chinese) and found that her ancestors can be traced to a village in China known for having a Jewish community (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hangzhou and scroll to Jewish community). He speculated that she may be partly Jewish. I emailed him once to ask for more details but he never replied. |
Thanks for catching my oversight, bearbear! Sorry, awareness! I didn't mean to ignore you!
I'm familiar with what you're talking about. Sounds like you very well could be descended from them! I heard recently that a good number from the community in Hangzhou made aliyah (emmigrated) to Israel. It had been their dream for some time. I can't recall now...were they believed to be of the tribe of Mannasseh?
How exciting that must be for you!!
