This is way too long to read.
Skip the post unless you want to waste time on a detailed observation.
My great grandfather was French Ashkenazi who went from France to Quebec. He was going to make his fortune in the fur trade but in the later 1800s it was more of a just getting by thing. He trapped and somehow his gun was a cut down British Artillery rifled musket. My understanding is being Jewish was something he never really had any involvement or practicing or anything after arriving in Canada. I guess a lot more men than women immigrated and he married a Huron girl whose dad was chief /leader of the village or little res. She was like his fifth daughter or something so he threw in a Remington rolling block rimfire with a bunch of brass tacks, a leather wrap, etc. On it as the dowry. Her village had missionaries and she had been raised “Catholic.” So I guess they were Catholic until they moved away east to New Brunswick. and ended up moving away from that area. and basically were in a little rural area where everyone was basically Protestant and there was one tiny little church. My grandmother was one of their daughters born around 1903 and got married to a burly man in New Brunswick. Whose mother was Jewish and also grew up not doing any stuff related to being Jewish and whose family grew up basic local Protestant. . Her siblings ended up in Quebec, New Brunswick, Maine, and Nova Scotia. They ended up in another New England state. Where my dad and aunts and uncles were born and also raised Protestant and where I grew up.
I don’t hate Jewish people. I don’t want a repeat of the Holocaust. I don’t want a warning for anti-semtism.
I’m just trying to objectively state something along the lines of-
You had a big wonderful farm in america. It was nice.
Then you guys - for a reason I can’t understand - planted a bunch of kudzu on the school playground, on the local college campus, in the town park, and by the courthouse. Now that kudzu is overflowing your farm.
And you don’t like it.
None of your neighbors want it on their farm either.
And we never wanted you to plant it.

Oh well. I’m not a pure skin.
I eat the shit out of pork.
I was in HS and went to summer college baseball camp/assessment and didn’t know what bagels were, etc.
Some cousins have gotten into the family tree research and stuff. Recently I have found out about a nephew I didn’t know about, that the “burly man” was the illegitimate son of some traveling Canadian wrestler/showman who was English and Scottish who knocked up a Lithuanian/albanian room cleaner that was Jewish. So that grandpa did a bunch of electrical, construction, etc. Kind of stuff.
Bright but not educated. He had a son and daughter from a first marriage. The son was navy in wwii, then IBM and DOD systems analyst computer guy who retired in ‘85. Never knew or met him. Know nothing about the daughter. Only recently found that out. Don’t know anything about his first wife before my grandmother. Maybe died and kids went to live with her sister.
I did know my grandmother had the Ashkenazi father, Huron mother, and a husband that died - he was some kind of sailor.
I grew up knowing her first son, my uncle. He was WWII and then Korean War ranger company vet.
So, first marriages for each in the 1920s, with a son daughter for him and a son for her.
Then a handful of kids together. That’s pretty much all I know about that side of the family.
Now, her first son died at 90 a while back. He had inherited the rolling block and the rifled musket. His only son had already died and he left them to me. He hadn’t told anyone, but did then when he knew he had metastatic cancer and maybe six months left.
