My Granfather came from Russia or Ukraine early 1900's. He was Jewish and had to flee. Are there any Goldsteins still there...we might be related.

• Also, If your Great Granparents were Jewish and on you Mothers side...YOU may be Jewish...that's how it works. Goes thru Mother's bloodline only. :)

• Judaism isn't a religion...it is a way of life, a set of beliefs, a heritige etc. Very complex. The saying is "You always know who your Mother is...your Father???"

• She died when she was 89 years old, can't remember how long ago as did her Jewish friend. However, their daughter Lorna is living in Australia now as my mother went to visit her a couple of years back
