I received a couple of interesting emails from a stranger today regards a geneology search I'm doing and this guy mentioned that my French roots (Vezina's and varied other spellings) come from "Sephardic Jews" ... of which some studies he's done, even DNA tests, makes him say that probably most, if not all, French Canadian's hail from Sephardic Jews.

I have NEVER heard of "Sephardic Jews" before ... have you?


La Heim (spelling?)

Karmen

IIRC, the Sephardic and Askenazie (sp?) are two pretty well differing sects of Jewry. I believe that the Askenazie are the ones who ally themselves with the Temple on the Mount and share their dogma with the Christians, Muslims and Greek Orthodox.

Edit, edit, edit...I should have read the other link; disregard what is written above.

BTW, it's "L'Chaim".
