Need people from the Jewish roots project and/or the Irish roots project on the trusted list

I realized that there was no profile for Mara Wilson, the child actress from Matilda and Mrs. Doubtfire, so I created one.

She apparently has Jewish and Irish roots, so it would be great if an active member of the Jewish roots project and/or the irish roots project would like to be on the trusted list. I'd appreciate help.

MY Jewish genes seem to lie in my father's father's line. But there's a catch:  No one has owned up to being my father's father (though that man with a missing name would have been long deceased by now [now is Nov 30, 2019] ). My dad is Rudolf Berg, b. Jan 10-12, 1907, son of Anna Elisabeth Berg; Dad was born in Frankfurt, Germany, which I've assumed to be an accurate birth-entry for him. His middle name is probable but unknown to me.

Can you find details?

When he joined his mom in the USA at age 4 (accompanied by his grandmother Rosa Berg) he was informally or formally adopted by his mom's then-married surname.

Would you check my profile ID Fann-206 and please let me know whether I am within 30 generations. If so, this would be of interest, and would count toward two project challenges for me. Thanks!
