Hi David and DNA listers,
David, we'll send you a disc copy of the Scotland book at the end of the
summer when it is revised, proofread, etc. I still have to make one more trip
to Scotland (this August) to take photographs at St. Andrews, Roslyn and some
other spots.
I also forgot to mention two things in my earlier posts on this:
1. 'Dow 'is another surname from Clan Davidson derived from the Hebrew/Arabic
Daoud. (I don't mean to be picking on Clan Davidson, but they are a good
example).
2. We believe that many of the crypto-Jewish persons living in Scotland
became Quakers and Presbyterians during the Protestant Reformation. Others became
Unitarians and Congregationalists (in England). These religions, especially
Quakerism and Unitarianism, were largely compatible with Judaism in that they
were monotheistic and placed little/no emphasis on Jesus' divinity.
Since we are now far afield from DNA, let me just recommend that those
who are interested check in to Sephardim.com and to the crypto-Jewish websites.
All the best, Beth
