RootsWeb: Melungeon-L Looking Jewish

RootsWeb: Melungeon-L Looking Jewish: "When living in Baltimore MD in the 40's my mother loved shopping at the
Jewish markets on Lombard St. in East Balto. There she could get the sweet butter,
fresh eggs, yummy baked goods, and pick out the live frying chicken she
wanted. They would prepare the fryer while a person waited for it.

After a few times of noticing others were getting their chickens before hers
was prepared she asked why, and was told they were waiting for the Rabbi to
kill her chicken. The Jewish people only ate meat killed by a Rabbi. From her
apparance they assumed she was Jewish. Our older Jewish landlord asked my
brother, 'be you Jew boy?'

For that reason I believe we have a goodly percentage of Jewish blood, but
did not know from where it came.

My mother's ancestors were all from the western NC & VA and eastern KY
& TN with surnames, ROBINSON, JACKSON, BUNCH, CURRY, with others such as
HELTON, SHELTON, BROCK, HOWARD, FLETCHER, and SPIVEY."
