The Hidden Jews Of New Mexico and Beyond
No time to elaborate today, but the Seattle Times just published this article about DNA testing and how it has revealed an Albquerque reverend to be a descendandant of the Cohanim. The reverend then tested 78 relatives, 30 of whom had the same genetic marker of ancient Jewish priests. Full story. A reader sent this link, the site of Nan Rubin, who broadcasted a series of radio shows about the secret Jewish history of New Mexico. And then there's Donald N. Panther-Yates of Georgia Southern University and Melungeons.com, who published this piece on crypto-Jews in Tennesee, Kentucky and North Carolina, including information on Jewish Native American chiefs (and there were many of them!) It's a crazy long and at times convoluted read (plus some funky html issues), but there's some amazing stuff there. All this should keep all you crypto-philes busy for awhile! *Photo of American pioneer and Jewish Melungian Davey Crockett c/o Melungeons.com.
