Bush being possibly of jewish ancestry, that isnt surprising to me. Heck, didnt John Kerry say he is actually of Hungarian jewish background himself??? 1/2 his father was but not his mother.he only found out later in life so technically he isnt as to jewish law? i think it has to be the mother to be considered jewish. come on you jews of the board put that years of reading the torah to work and help us out lol i highly doubt Bush family has any "jewish" ancestry. if he does the right questions have to be asked like what is his heritage (mom and dad) and what part of the USA does his family come from? how long have they his ancestors been in the usa

His mother is of old British stock (of the family Forbes, of old colonial heritage). Funny how everybody thought Kerry was Irish and it turns out he's not at all Irish.

Kerry has been included in Jewish American lists ever since.

Actually, I think he's of Czech Jewish background. What the heck? I posted this way earlier, and somehow, I looked at this forum just now and this thread was at the top, despite the fact that others had posted in other threads since the above post. Weird.

Also keep in mind many Jews moved to Britain hundreds of years ago during the middle ages.Some surely mixed while others converted aswel.

George W. Bush Jewish? Now we're really stretching things here. The Bush family is of old WASP stock, with probably some German thrown in, and I suppose some Amerindian. As for Bush's mother's family, they're probably of similar heritage. There could be Irish on either side as well I suppose. Bush's appearance is closer to that of his mother's imo. The senior Bush has more of a British look to me. GWB looks more like a German-Irish mix. where do you get amerindian? why is it that you assume that everyone has indian blood? you don't assume, you prove. not every native white american has indian blood. I admit many trappers probably had sex with squaws but most white males of british and german ancestry were settlers and brought there women with them; not like latin america or quebec.

Where did you get that I assumed every white American is part Native American? I just speculated in Bush's case because I felt that a few of his features looked a bit Native American, and still, there are a good number of white Americans with Native American ancestry.

Same here. A lot of White Americans have Amerindian ancestry. My French-Irish-English husband has Amerindian ancestors on his mother's and father's side of the family. Of course, this is not to say that all Americans have Amerindian ancestry, but many do.
