I stand corrected on my statemen about spelling a name a certain way. Yes he spells it the same.

However this is what I meant: Just because someone's name sounds or looks Jewish doesn't mean they are.

My husband is Jewish. I am Christian. My daughter is adopted, but was raised in my faith. She has my husband's Jewish last name but isn't Jewish and neither am I even though I took my husband's last name when we married.

We also know a person in this area with the same last name as ours whose family wasn't Jewish. At least he had no direct relations that he was aware of when we asked.

But the Jews who settled in Philly with my hubby's last name ARE ALL family.
