This book proposes that Jews were present in England in substantial numbers from the Roman Conquest forward. Indeed, there has never been a time during which a large Jewish-descended, and later Muslim-descended, population has been absent from England. Contrary to popular history, the Jewish population was not expelled from England in 1290, but rather adopted the public face of Christianity, while continuing to practice Judaism in secret. Crypto-Jews and Crypto-Muslims held the highest offices in the land, including service as archbishops, dukes, earls, kings and queens. Among those proposed to be of Jewish ancestry are the Tudor kings and queens, Queen Elizabeth I, William the Conqueror, and Thomas Cromwell. Documentaton in support of this revisionist history includes DNA studies, genealogies, church records, place names and the Domesday Book.

Detecting Hidden Jewish History

Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2014

As a Genealogist and owner of a DNA testing company spawned by this interest, Donald Yates is on top of discovery as an investigator of this fluid landscape. He has “married history, geography and science with the constantly changing field of DNA Studies to write this book.

While seeking answers for his own ancestor, continuously pulling threads of Jewish diaspora a hidden history is discovered in the process. Then dissimulating the information for us, history is rewritten or reimagined for our understanding.

I am interested in new developments. J and E1b1b formerly E3b interest me. Both occur in my father’s forefathers. Some of the family lines are very Scottish and founders of Cape Fear Scottish Highlanders. These ancestors are apparently early adapters of diversity by having claims of Native American ancestry on the male side. J shows up in the Cherokee. There are Melungeon ties on his mother’s side with the Mazingo associated families. This has been a mystery of this rare type formerly designated E3b which has been widely discussed and mulled over about what this means. Family traditions in the Mazingo/Mozingo lineages claim
Italian, French Basque, French Huguenot, Cajun, Black Irish, Native American: Cherokee, Choctaw, Accomac, Ottoman Turk, Arab, Berber, Melungeon, Iberian Spanish and Portuguese. The most recent is Bantu Warrior and/or Prince and Portuguese. Historically it is known in this line to be Portuguese African from Melungeon Research and DNA Testing. The Authors place E3b as North African Moor. The Mazingo first male was not a slave but an indentured servant, in Jamestown, VA. He was captured from a Portuguese and ship heading to Mexico. He was thought to be from the Kingdom of Catholic N’dongo in Angola which had also been settled by Portuguese influencing Culture, Politics and Military. DNA Projects has all the lines tested back to the First Edward Jamestown 19 Angolans. Future testing will give us more exact regional origin, but many places in Africa haven’t been tested much yet. That is the nature of this emerging science and its applications. At any rate I found the many places the DNA is detected varied and interesting; a story that is yet to be finished and still being written.

I was surprised that both types were found in Southwest England and northern Wales as rare in Langefni on Anglesey (birth lands of Tudor Dynasty) and Wrexham where a DNA project collected local men volunteers to study the migration of men from the Mediterranean to the copper mined at Parys Mountain on Anglesey and nearby Great Orme promontory. 500 participants showed 30 percent carried E1b1b, perhaps North African Caucasian or Phoenician markers. Wales is appearing to be the epicenter of Jewish DNA. J and E1b1b are conventional markers for Jewish and Middle Eastern lineages signifying "a continued Jewish presence from Roman and Anglo- Saxon times or arrival after the Norman Conquest” according to the Author’s research.

Chapter 4 about the Normans is my favorite tracing the lineage of William the Conqueror who came to England in 1066 after the battle of Hastings. He was crowned William I. Most Historians claim William brought the Jews from Rouen with him. The Authors make the case that William and his mother Herleva were Jewish. She was a concubine of Duke Robert. Her story is told. Up til this point in the book a Case Study is constructed that Jews were in England and Wales a full millennia before William. His forbear Charlemagne was Jewish thru Makkir Machir also known as William of Toulouse. The Narbonne academy founders of the Davidic-descended Babylonian Jews, “chief among them Machir and his children and grandchildren, who intermarried with the Carolingian and Aquitanian nobility”. Exilarch Makhir married the daughter of Charles Martel and grandmother of Charlemagne. His Daughter Bertrada Married Pepin I, King of Italy. (P196 Jews and Muslims in British Colonial America)

Charlemagne’s “last concubine was a Jewess known as Adeline, Adelaid or Adela who is believed to be the Ur-mother of European Royalty, the matrilineal ancestor among others Marie Antoinette.” I remember reading a book about her when I was very young and feeling chills reading about her execution I felt it like I was there. Could this be genetic memory?

These genealogies were charted in the chapter 4 and 5. I realized after reading British Jews and Muslims in British Colonial America I was descended from this lineage through Queen Isabella of France through Pepin I of Italy, which could account for some Jewish markers in my atDNA. I already knew about the Plantagenet lineages that believe descent from King David that I have as well through my mother’s maternal side.

William I had an accounting done of all his holdings and the holdings of the people. This was what we would call a census, was labeled The Domesday Book. I had seen this a source in some genealogies, but didn't know what it was. The authors explains its significance in Chapters 5 and 6 listing Hebrew and Arabic people and place names. Additionally throughout the book Yates illustrates maps of the period places, borders and founders (invaders) of import. I found this very helpful as these places were new to me.

The book brought forward to the 1700, Jewish and Muslim people in England and Wales despite Expulsion in 1290 and surmises using DNA evidence that folks just moved over the border to Scotland and or Wales melding into local communities much like American Indians did up to and after removals beginning 1838.

I wasn't a student of world history or perhaps another one of those historical things I wasn't taught but had a vague understanding of. This book brought it home to me in a way I could embrace and identify with applying it to my own Ancestry that was hidden and revealed to me with the Authors help in testing, interpretation and knowledge exchange.

Many ancient historical sources and literature which shows the Middle Eastern and Jewish influence on England and Wales through trade were consulted as well as recently found Manuscripts. The authors presented facts, using them to understand their own Ancestry. You may not agree with their conclusions but you are free to use the info as a basis for your own investigations. They did extensive research in the British Isles, England, Wales and Scotland in person.

This book is the Third in a series that began When Scotland Was Jewish published in 2007.
I am thankful for the chance to read it and the other aforementioned volume regarding the DNA and peopling of the British Isles.

I will probably return often to the books to digest the wealth of period research and source material. I hope you will too!
