Life can be difficult sometimes, it gets bumpy. What with family and kids and things not going exactly like you planned. But that's what makes it interesting.
In life the first act is always exciting. The second act, that is where the depth comes in.

Already in Wikitree, will need to add in 9 generations to connect to Bob Stacey.
Though after we get to Catharine Tenbrook b 1765 FS has a mother named Geeritje or Charity Van Neste (https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/9JV3-QGC) listed whereas in WikiTree we have the mother of C. Tenbrook as Catherine Lowe, though with more research needed.
I think John C Ten Broeck had three wives and only children with two of them, so the Family Search page needs to be updated.
There are several other possible connections listed in Family Search between his various ancestors and mine, though each time I tried to check one out in Family Search and compare it to WikiTree there were some research to be done and no for certain cousin matches, though there probably are.
Cottrell is an unincorporated crossroads community in north Clackamas County, Oregon, United States.[1] It was founded by Georgia (Maiden name Cottrell.[2] ) Andrews, the wife of Charles Ida Andrews (married 1893). Georgia and her mother Carrie Arabella (Townsley) Cottrell moved to Oregon from Milwaukee, Wisconsin after Georgia's father and Carrie's husband George Cottrell, was killed in a railroad accident. Georgia typically went by and wrote her name as 'Georgie'. There was a Cottrell post office from 1894 until 1904; it probably closed when Rural Free Delivery was extended to the area.[2] There is also a Cottrell Road and a Cottrell school a mile east of the locale, and there was a Cottrell station on the defunct Mount Hood Electric Railway line about a mile to the north.[2] The now-abandoned station was across the county line in Multnomah County.[2] Georgia and her mother Carrie both died in Ashland, in 1953 and 1943 respectively.
Carl Edvard Isaksen 1873

Carl was born in Oksfjordhamn on the Arneng farm, and he later dropped the name Arneng. On July 28, 1904 Carl and Amanda were married. Amanda was from Dyrnes in Oksfjordhamn. Carl Edvard was lost at sea when his children were still very young, and we have very little information about him. Amanda moved back to her family in Kjøllefjord after his death. Their Children were:
Marie C. Nelson reported on these events in a 1988 doctoral dissertation from Uppsala titled Bitter Bread: the Famine in Norrbotten in 1867-1868. The prolonged cold spell resulted in crop failures, sale of land, bankruptcies, foreclosures, emigration and even the sale of children. The surrogate foods included lichens, straw mixed with flour, the inner bark of trees, mushrooms, ground pond lilly roots, etc.

The problem here is that many with Saami ancestry have all their lives been told that the Saamis are the indigenous people of the Nordic countries, and perhaps even of the whole of Europe and that they, therefore, have an innate burden that justifies a special legal status with associated privileges.
The recent DNA results showing instead that the North-Saamis most likely is Europe's youngest mixed people, appear to be shocking to many and resulting in subsequent refusals and denials.
Although this model would have been accurate before 1350, for financial reasons this ethnic definition continued. It mattered little to the local authorities or church officials if the farmer was Sami or Norwegian as long as he paid his taxes.
In nearly all the pre-1900 Norwegian genealogical records the Sami were defined as exclusively reindeer herders. But the conclusion that the Sami resided only in areas that were dominated by reindeer herding, namely the in interior of Finnmark and small portions of Troms counties, would be incorrect. There are countless cases where whole families owned farms whose ancestral past were known to be culturally Sami, yet the parish records did not reflect this heritage.
From the Sami perspective, the definition of 'being' Sami is not as clear cut as the Norwegian perspective. Sharing nine distinct language dialects, exploiting every possible environmental/economical niche of northern Norway following the 1350 plague, and with no clear national consciousness (never having their own government), the definition of being 'Sami' is far less defined. This is an issue that remains controversial to this day within the Sami community. Figure 2, shows an example of the farming/fishing/herding economy of Sami - a result of the post-1350 migrations.
Although the actual percentage of Sami/Norse division has been hotly debated, this model reflects a more accurate description of the cultural demographics of north Norway up to the 1800's. Thereafter, many of these coastal Sami melted into the population and adopted the Norwegian language, so much so that many of their ethnic languages are endanger of disappearing today.
In this north-western part of Europe the Sami people is the indigenous population, as far as we know today. Many scientists believe that this ethnic group descends from the Komsa people, who lived along the northern coast as far back as eight to ten thousand years ago.

In January of 1844, a minister named Lars Levi Læstadius met a woman named Milla Clementsdotter in the Åsele church in central Sweden. He would go on to become known as the Lapplandic apostle and she would become known as Maria of Lappland. Their meeting would launch a religious movement that some would say drove the final nail into the coffin of the traditional Sámi worldview.
This paper is about that movement, Laestadianism, named for its founder. First, we will examine the traditional worldview of the Sámi and the historical background of Christianity among them. Next, we will look into the lives of Læstadius and Clementsdotter, as well as the followers who built the movement into what it is today. We will then be in a position to discuss why Laestadianism had such a profound effect on the Sámi and why it was able to “run like heather fires through the land,” [1] as well as what its spread meant to the old worldview. Finally, we will look at Laestadianism as it is today, and see how the traditional worldview is faring.
The Sámi practiced their pre-Christian traditional religion openly in parts of Sápmi, or Sámiland, (the Sámi ancestral lands) until the 18th century, despite the presence of Christianity and churches in the area since the 11th century. [2] This traditional nature-based religion had elements of animism and shamanism. It was totemic, ancestral, sacrificial and polytheistic. It was also comprised of many levels, including general Arctic, ancient Scandinavian, distinctly Sámi, and even Christian beliefs, as well as reflecting the lifestyles of hunter-gatherer and nomadic cultures
Two other early leaders of the movement that bear mentioning are Lars Jacobson Hætta and Anders Bær, both native Sámi followers of Læstadius. Hætta preached vehemently against the three main sins of the Sámi people - alcoholism, reindeer theft, and practicing the old religion. Bær was the alcoholic son of an alcoholic family of reindeer-herding Sámi who felt called to an extreme religious fanaticism in his desire to rid the Sámi people of the demon of alcohol. These two hard-line followers were instrumental in the riot known as either t
In Denmark, the "Jewish badge" was never introduced. There is no truth to the much-repeated story that Danish King Christian X wore a yellow star View This Term in the Glossary in solidarity with the Jews. This myth may owe its origins to a remark the king is said to have made to his finance minister, Vilhelm Buhl, that if the Germans introduced the star in Denmark, "perhaps we should all wear it."
Lions are frequently symbols of leadership, as the lion is considered the king of the animals. In the Book of Genesis, long before the Israelite monarchy is established, Jacob blesses Judah on his deathbed, saying he is a lion's whelp, or cub. Because of this blessing, the tribe of Judah adopted the symbol of the lion to represent itself.
The blessing Jacob gives to Judah in Genesis 49 reflects this symbolism.
The griffin in its earlier forms had the head and wings of an eagle and the body of a lion.
According to the Illustrated Dictionary of Egyptian Mythology, the “griffin was known in Egypt before 3300 BC and is possibly more ancient still.” It was a symbol of protective power.
Academy of Classical Christian Studies bears as its mascot the griffin, a half-eagle, half-lion creature with a long and venerable history. The English word “griffin,” sometimes spelled “gryffin” or “gryphon,” derives from the Greek word “gryphon” or “gryps.” The Greeks in turn, however, had derived their word from the ancient Near Eastern “karibu,” a word and a creature that seem to be directly related to the Hebrew “cherub.” Depending on whether the closest relative of the Hebrew word is Phoenician or Persian, William Gesenius suggests it may mean either “divine steed” or “one who ministers at God’s throne” on the one hand, or else “keeper” on the other hand.

Symbols associated with the Tribe of Dan include a lion, snake, eagle, dragon, and griffin. A griffin is an imaginary creature with the wings and body of an eagle and the head of a lion. The Hyksos rulers of Egypt used a griffin as their symbol. The Hyksos were either Hebrews or a Band of Egyptian rulers who relied on Israelites in their forces and were heavily influenced by Hebraic and Canaanite culture.

One of the first Jewish congregations in America was the Touro Synagogue in New York City. Finding a place of safety where they could practice their faith without persecution allowed this group of Sephardic Jews to prosper and build their community. Many Jews who fled the Inquisition in Europe became crypto-Jews in the Americas, hiding under a veneer of conversion to Roman Catholicism. Some obstacles to genealogical research have come about because of the need to hide Jewish roots.
In this selected bibliography are publications that may guide researchers to sources for Jewish ancestors who practiced their faith openly, as well as to those who tried to disguise that faith.

Why Did 23andMe Tell Ashkenazi Jews They Could Be Descended From Khazars?
By Ari Feldman
August 29, 2017
One of the details in question? That a large portion of Jews may be descended from the Khazars, a semi-nomadic tribe in the Caucasus that was largely destroyed in 10th-century C.E. — and not from the Israelites of the Israel/Palestine area from several thousand years ago. This theory, known as the “Khazar theory,” has been discredited by geneticists all over the world.
“The origin of the Ashkenazi Jews has been traced back to a population of Jewish people living between the Jordan River and Mediterranean Sea before the Roman exile,” the report on the 23andMe website read. “However, research suggests that Ashkenazi Jews who belong to your haplogroup may descend from a single male who… may have been a member of the Khazars, an enigmatic Turkic tribe that lived in Central Asia, and that converted to Judaism in the eigth century A.D.”
Now, in response to inquiries from the Forward, 23andMe is saying the inclusion of the Khazar theory in the company’s latest genetic report — one of many released to customers on Friday — for some Ashkenazi Jews was “an error.”
The haplogroup in question — called variously R-M512 and R1a — is present in about 50% of Jews who descend from the tribe of Levi.
Globally speaking, all arguments suggested by proponents of Khazarian theory are either highly speculative or simply wrong. They cannot be taken seriously.
This has never stopped the theory from being popular. But the ideological reasons for this are for another article.
Alexander Beider is a linguist and the author of reference books about Jewish names and the history of Yiddish. He lives in Paris.
The Silk Road became a meeting point between Iranian religions and another ancient faith, Judaism. Judaism as expressed in both its ancient oral and written traditions was centered on the belief in one God, who revealed Himself to the people of Israel and made a covenant with them to live according to His will, as articulated in the Torah (the first Five Books of the Hebrew Bible) and concretized as Halakah, or "the way." Part of this ancient history is traced to Abraham, the great Patriarchal figure in Judaism, and his descendants, who were chosen by God to lead the people from slavery to freedom. The well-known event of the Exodus, under the prophetic figure of Moses (ca. 1200 B.C.E.), led to their eventual settlement in Israel, the emergence of a kingdom, and the writing down and codification of the first part of the Scriptures.
In 586 B.C.E., the southern part of the kingdom, Judah, was conquered by the Babylonians, and this led to many Jews being exiled to Central Asia. In 559 B.C.E., the Sasanian ruler Cyrus freed the Jewish population, and, while some returned to Israel, many chose to stay in Iran, where they continued to practice their faith. They also created Jewish settlements along the Silk Road, including in the cities of Samarkand and Bukhara. Jewish practices and beliefs were enriched by contacts with existing traditions and the intellectual heritage of Iran, and then Greece. Apart from the original community of exiled Jews, it seems that Judaism gained local converts, too, though these were not a result of proselytization. The Jewish presence in the region continues to the present.
It’s my thesis that for a country to be “successful” for a considerable period—success being defined loosely here as economically prosperous, politically stable, and militarily defensible—it must possess substantial TTD. That’s not a pronounceable acronym, unfortunately, but it stands for trade, tolerance and decentralization.
Each of these three criteria for success is worth volumes of discussion but here’s the nub of it: When economic freedom and private property exist, trade flourishes. And trade is what peaceful humans do to satisfy wants and improve material well-being. Choke it off and living standards plummet. Tolerance is a sign that people appreciate the benefits derived from diversity in personal choices. An intolerant people deprive themselves of what others can offer and waste time and resources fighting instead of collaborating. Decentralization preserves the rich identities of local communities and stymies the concentration of authority with its inevitable corruption. Power dispersed is power tamed.
A Turkic people, the Khazars asserted their independence from a weakened Western Turkish Empire in the middle of the 7th Century. The overland routes they built connected to the famous “Silk Road,” which in turn linked Europe with Asia. Khazaria’s geographical position provided unique economic advantages its people eagerly embraced, much as a small town grows when a new interstate highway opens a few miles away. Khazaria became a bridge between East and West, which meant that not only could its people easily engage in trade with others in either direction, they also witnessed a plethora of exotic goods and travelers moving through the region.
Khazaria provided safe passage and imposed minimal taxation on traders, making the country one of the medieval world’s thriving commercial crossroads. The Arabs to the southwest highly prized Khazarian furs and clothing. The Khazars traded their own silver coins for mirrors from China. The game of chess likely originated in Khazaria, which exported it to Europe. Archeologists have found evidence that Khazarian traders journeyed as far as Sweden.
The Khazarian Hypothesis and the Nature of Yiddish
Aug 12, 2014 by Asya Pereltsvaig
The Khazarian hypothesis is most strongly associated with the noted Hungarian-Jewish polymath Arthur Koestler, who advanced the hypothesis in The Thirteenth Tribe, published in 1976. The Khazars were a nomadic tribal confederacy that established a strong, trade-based state centered in the lower Volga River during the early Middle Ages. Their elite stratum definitely converted to Judaism, although it is unknown how deeply the religion penetrated into the rest of their diverse society. Although Koestler’s arguments were intriguing, solid evidence in support has been lacking, and most recent genetic studies have indicated that the Khazarian contribution to European Jewry was minimal at best. Until the publication of Elhaik’s work, the Khazarian thesis was all but defunct.
Andriy Kobalia: Unlike many other historians, you believe that the Khazars did not adopt Judaism. Why?
Shaul Stampfer: I want to start with general things. It is much easier to prove that something happened than to prove that some event did not take place. When you want to prove the former, you simply find one source, you present it, and there’s your proof. If you believe that nothing really happened, you must consider all possible circumstances and prove that all the evidence is unreliable. This is what I am trying to do in my research on the Khazar Khanate.
The question of the Khazars’ conversion to Judaism is very reminiscent of the principle of today’s fake news. There is material in a newspaper, on the radio, or on television. If this is broadcast by an official state source, then everyone starts believing it. But what source of information? The Khazars were pagans for a long period of time. The truth is that we know very little about the Khazars. They did not leave us texts or inscriptions and not very many material artifacts. We know about them because they were mentioned by their enemies.
Jewish nomads, or was the Khazar Khanate a Jewish State?
Posted On: March 19th, 2019
Posted In: Jews on Ukrainian Lands, Hromadske Radio, Sponsored Projects, Audio/Visual Media, History
The historian Shaul Stampfer discusses the religion of Khazaria
The Khazar Khanate existed from the seventh to the tenth century. At the peak of its prosperity this nomadic Turkic state controlled the Northern Caucasus, the Lower and Middle Volga regions, part of Kazakhstan, as well as part of the territory of contemporary Ukraine, including Crimea, the Left Bank, and, in the view of some historians, even Kyiv.
The history of Khazaria is typical of the Early Medieval Turkic state. It emerged from an alliance of tribes, captured surrounding territories, then disappeared without leaving many traces. However, this nomadic state existed for three hundred years, waged wars, and traded with Byzantium, the Arab Caliphate, the Vikings, and it may have been the only Jewish state among the pagan nomads. Professor Shaul Stampfer, the former head of the Department of Jewish History at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, a guest lecturer of the Master’s Program in Jewish Studies at Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, and specialist in the history of Eastern European Jews, and I discussed whether Judaism was the main religion in the Khazar Khanate.
Andriy Kobalia: Can we trust this group of sources? Are most of the subjects legendary?
Shaul Stampfer: The Khazars were a nomadic tribe; the steppe was their native home. The capital of the state was the city of Itil. Today it is difficult to say with certainty where the city was located. The tribes moved together with the herds.
Andriy Kobalia: Unlike many other historians, you believe that the Khazars did not adopt Judaism. Why?
Shaul Stampfer: I want to start with general things. It is much easier to prove that something happened than to prove that some event did not take place. When you want to prove the former, you simply find one source, you present it, and there’s your proof. If you believe that nothing really happened, you must consider all possible circumstances and prove that all the evidence is unreliable. This is what I am trying to do in my research on the Khazar Khanate.
The question of the Khazars’ conversion to Judaism is very reminiscent of the principle of today’s fake news. There is material in a newspaper, on the radio, or on television. If this is broadcast by an official state source, then everyone starts believing it. But what source of information? The Khazars were pagans for a long period of time. The truth is that we know very little about the Khazars. They did not leave us texts or inscriptions and not very many material artifacts. We know about them because they were mentioned by their enemies.
The Khazars fought against the Arabs, Byzantium, Rus′, and the Vikings. But they themselves did not leave a description of their beliefs. If we are speaking about sources that mention the Khazars’ conversion to Judaism, there is a batch of correspondence in Hebrew between the Khazar king and a Spanish Jew. If we look at a map and imagine the people in those days, we see that there is a huge distance between Spain and Khazaria. After you read the letters of the king of the Khazars, many questions arise. There is simply an ideal language there. Even today it would be difficult to find a person who can write so beautifully and in this grammatically correct fashion.
In my opinion, this text was written in Spain, which in those days was the center of Hebrew-language literature.
So, there is a very fine description of the state in this correspondence; it talks about Crimea and other territories. But the description of the eastern border is obscure. It is very likely that some person was describing what he had heard from others, and did not know where the border of this state lay. In the texts it is written that a generation ago the king of the Khazars was choosing a religion and decided that his religion would be Judaism. The question is that, if we are to believe the source, then the Khazars converted to Judaism before the Khazar Khanate even came into existence.
Shaul Stampfer: I agree with you that it is necessary to examine various sources. Khazaria and Byzantium were allies against the Arab states that were pushing northward. I made a very careful study of Byzantine sources and spotted something very strange. There are very many mentions of this state, but not a single one about how they converted to Judaism. The Byzantines were Eastern-rite Christians. Why did they not write that they had dealings with a tribe that professed a religion which rejected the principles of their religion?

Margaret Dossiter Radke
APRIL 14, 1922 – DECEMBER 24, 2011
She was preceded in death by her husband George and son Roger, and is survived by 3 children, Duane, Grant and Marcelyn, 5 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren.
Two of her younger sisters who followed her from England still reside in the Portland area.
For decades, this curious, triangle-shaped building sandwiched between two high-traffic streets in St. Johns was home to an auto parts shop owned by an eccentric named Merlin Radke. When Radke died in 2017, he left much of his estate, including this beige, single-floor building to Warner Pacific University. (Radke’s attorney, Michael Peterson, recalls that Radke started attending church later in life. He never married or had children.)
Andrea Cook, former president of Warner Pacific, first met Radke on campus as she was walking to her car in 2006.
“He stopped me and asked, ‘What would it take to get my name on a building?’ I learned a long time ago that you take every question seriously. So I said let’s talk,” Cook recalls. “We talked about it off and on for 10 years, and ultimately he decided to give his assets to the university.”
In a legend in north-western Europe, especially the Brythonic regions of Wales, Cornwall, and Brittany there is the tale of the Fisher King (French: Roi pêcheur; Welsh: Brenin Pysgotwr). He is also known as the Wounded King or Maimed King (Roi blessé, in Old French Roi Méhaigné, Welsh: Brenin Clwyfedig). The king is the last of the bloodline that guards & keeps the Holy Grail, and has a lasting wound, mentioned to be on his legs or groin. This supposedly never heals and ties with land of his estate. While wounded he can't do much except fish from a boat on a river / lake on his estate. The land of the estate is meant to be quite desolate due to the never-ending wound. Only by answering a question he poses correctly will the wound heal, the land recover and the person can be shown or have access to the Fisher King's treasure. His castle is called Corbenic. His treasure consists of the Holy Grail, the Bleeding Lance, and a sword (thought by some to be Excalibur).
Considerant was born in Salins-les-Bains, Jura and studied art and music at the École Polytechnique (1826 diploma). Subsequently working as a musician , he collaborated with Fourier on newspapers. He edited the journals La Phalanstère and La Phalange.
Considérant wrote much in advocacy of his principles, of which the most important is La Destinée Sociale. He is also the writer of a Democracy Manifesto, which was very similar to the Communist Manifesto released five years later by Marx and Engels. Considerant defined the notion of a "right to (have) work", which would be one of the main ideas of French socialists in the 1848 Revolutions. He is also known for having devised the proportional representation system.

Here’s how he describes Melungeons (p. 286):
The Melungeon population of Appalachia has been the subject of a tremendous amount of interest and controversy lately. A consensus appears to be building that this population, once thought to be small, is rather large and is a result of the mixing of Iberian and Middle Eastern settlers who had been part of Spanish and English trading parties with the indigenous population of the American Southeast. Later migrations into the Piedmont and upper South by refugees of the Inquisition (Sephardic Jews and Moors) in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries supplemented this population (see Hirschman 2005; Kennedy and Kennedy 1997). Our families were of this mixture.
Professor McCormick goes on to write about his personal Melungeon genealogy:
Sephardic names include Cuba, Pillo Monnis Callahin, Jorgas, Nassi, Khanadi, Rosa, David, Baez, Santos and Gascon. The families that were at one point crypto Jews include Kieffer, Mayabb, Dula D’Aultun, Baigne and Ball. Our Melungeon families are Sizemore, Yates, Brashears, Collins, Lucas, Noel, Bass, Kennedy, Davis, Nash, Mullins, Center and Carrico. The family names on the Miller-Guion and Dawes rolls include Tunnell, Mabe, Waller, Yates and Doolin.

Sassoon Eskell (1860-1932) was born in Baghdad to a wealthy and illustrious Mizrachi Jewish family. At the time, some 40% of Baghdad’s population was Jewish. Eskell’s father was a rabbi, and at one point served as the chief rabbi of India’s large Baghdadi community. Eskell studied law and economics in Istanbul, London, and Vienna. He spoke nine languages fluently, and became the official translator (dragoman) for the Ottoman government in Baghdad. When the Ottomans drafted a constitution and established a new Turkish Parliament in 1908, Eskell was elected as Baghdad’s deputy representative.

The story of Tillamook County began on August 14, 1788 when Captain Robert Gray, an American sailing the sloop “Lady Washington,” anchored in Tillamook Bay thinking he had found the “great river of the West.” This was the first landing on the Oregon coast.
In its early years, the town of Tillamook, the first community to be settled in the county, bore the unofficial names Lincoln and Hoquarton, the latter believed to be an Indian name meaning “the landing.” Its name was eventually changed to Tillamook, an Indian word meaning “the many peoples of the Nehelim.”

That is the German-speaking area of Bremen-Verden. In 1611 – before the Swedish arrived, during the rule of Johann Adolf of Holstein-Gottorp – three Portuguese Jews from Amsterdam were invited to establish a sugar refinery in Bremen. Another source says that Jews were excluded until 1803.
Queen Christina of Sweden consulted the Jewish doctor, Benedict de Castro (Baruch Nehemias) (1597-1684) in 1645. He was a Sabbatean and the first identifiable Jew to visit Sweden. Christina abdicated in 1654. For a time she stayed in Antwerp with Diego Teixeira Sampayo (Abraham Senior Teixeira – part of the Teixeira de Mattos family). Before his mission to Oliver Cromwell in 1655, Menasseh Ben Israel called on her.

Who was one of the main persons who controlled diamond and gold mining in South Africa.
JCI or Johannesburg Consolidated Investment Co. Ltd. was founded in 1889 by the British entrepreneur Barney Barnato. JCI was a major force in South African mining for over 100 years. Using his investments in the Kimberley diamond fields, particularly his 25% share in De Beers, Barnato foresaw the value of and invested in the potential of the Witwatersrand gold mines.

his brother:
Henry Isaacs “Harry” Barnato
South African Mining Magnate, went to the Kimberley diamond diggings in South Africa with his brother Barney where he first acted in Shakespearean plays but quickly lapsed back into his Cockney dialect after the shows. Together with Barney, he founded Barnato Brothers Ltd. which was eventually sold to empire builder Cecil John Rhodes, with a deal-breaker clause that the Barnatos should be the first Jewish members admitted to the exclusive Kimberley Club. Husband of Rebecca Pollack, father of Leah (Lilly) Barnato, Mrs Samuel Asher.

However, all these daring and dramatic robberies absolutely pale in comparison to the biggest diamond heist ever – by The Diamond Cartel In the late 19th century. The London-based Diamond Syndicate had worked out a cozy agreement with Cecil Rhodes, a mining magnate who was based in South Africa. They agreed that they would purchase his diamonds at a fixed price, which maintained the diamond prices. This was very profitable for all involved, but there was a problem. New diamond mines were always a threat. This wasn’t lost on Rhodes, as he was personally involved in the 2nd Boer War, a war he helped provoke to maintain diamond rights.The diamond business had become so lucrative to the London-based bankers and businessmen that they were able to use their influence (and colonial attitudes) to expand the British Empire deeper into Boer turf! In the outbreak of fighting, Rhodes endangered himself by travelling to Kimberley, a mining town, and began to prepare defenses as he knew he was a prime target for the Boer. The town was besieged but Rhodes’ friends in the press helped sway public opinion, pressuring the British Army into abandoning their plans to attack the two Boer Republics' capitals. The siege was then lifted on Kimberley and the other sites.The British won the war and Rhodes and his company, De Beers, were able to purchase up more and more territory. By the time of Rhodes’ death in 1902, De Beers controlled 90% of the diamond market and were effectively a monopoly.They used every trick in the book to maintain their monopoly right into the 20th century. By controlling the supply, they either absorbed competitors into their company or flooded the diamond market with similar diamonds of their competitors to put them out of business. They were also responsible for some of the best and most memorable marketing campaigns in history, all to open up new markets and create new value for their product. Of course, the most famous one being, "Diamonds are Forever".Since 2000, the diamond industry has changed. De Beers massive 90% control of the industry has declined to just about 30% today. Attitudes around the ethics of ‘blood diamonds’ prompted countries such as Australia and Canada to cease doing business with the De Beers ‘channel’, which broke the stranglehold that was gripping the diamond industry since the 1880s, leading to a more competitive and open market.

Anabaptism emerged as one of the more radical Protestant strains of the 16th-century Reformation of the church. It rejects child baptism, believing instead that candidates should be able to make a free and conscious choice for Christ as adults — hence the name for the movement, which in Greek means “to baptize again.”
Each of the three main groups is named after the religious leader that established it as a separate movement.
Christian communists
Menno Simons (1496-1561) was a Catholic priest from Friesland (northern Netherlands) who became an Anabaptist preacher and leader, instrumental in consolidating and institutionalizing the new faith. His followers were known as Mennonites.
Jakob Amann (1644- c. 1720) was a Swiss Mennonite elder who wanted to preserve what he saw as biblical discipline within the church. In the 1690s, this led to a schism. Amann’s followers were called the Amish.
Jakob Hutter (c. 1500-1536) was a hatmaker from Tyrol and an Anabaptist reformer. He led his followers, later called Hutterites, to Moravia, where they adopted the early Christian practice of communal ownership, in addition to traditional Anabaptist practices such as nonviolence and adult baptism.
Anabaptists were considered so radical that they were persecuted by Catholics and mainstream Protestants alike in Western Europe, which is why so many fled, first to Eastern Europe, then eventually to North America.
Many Hutterites in North America can trace their origin to Hutterdorf, a Hutterite colony in Ukraine and the source of a very successful “back to basics” campaign. This is because, by the mid-19th century, most Hutterites no longer lived in strict community of goods.
In 1859, Michael Waldner was one of the leaders of a congregation in Hutterdorf that reintroduced the practice. The group became known as the Schmiedeleut (“people of the blacksmith”), after Waldner’s profession. The next year, another group did the same on the other side of town. Their leader was Darius Walter, and they became the Dariusleut. Around 1875, both groups emigrated to South Dakota. Then, arriving in South Dakota a few years later, a third group of Ukrainian Hutterites under the leadership of teacher Jakob Wipf became known as the Lehrerleut (“people of the teacher”).

His sister, Margaret H May married John David Johnny Marks
John David Marks (November 10, 1909 – September 3, 1985) was an American songwriter. He specialized in Christmas songs (although he himself was Jewish[1] and did not celebrate Christmas[2]) and wrote many holiday standards, including "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" (a hit for Gene Autry and others), "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" (a hit for Brenda Lee), "A Holly Jolly Christmas" (recorded by the Quinto Sisters and later by Burl Ives), "Silver and Gold" (for Burl Ives), and "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day" (introduced by Bing Crosby). He is also credited with writing "Run Rudolph Run" (recorded by Chuck Berry) but this is due to his trademark of the Rudolph character, rather than any input in the writing of the song.
Johnny Marks's father, Louis B. Marks, was a lighting engineer. His wife, Margaret May Marks, was the sister of Robert L. May who wrote the original story of Rudolph.

MY 11TH COUSIN TWICE REMOVED
Though after we get to Catharine Tenbrook b 1765 FS has a mother named Geeritje or Charity Van Neste (https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/9JV3-QGC) listed whereas in WikiTree we have the mother of C. Tenbrook as Catherine Lowe, though with more research needed.
I think John C Ten Broeck had three wives and only children with two of them, so the Family Search page needs to be updated.
There are several other possible connections listed in Family Search between his various ancestors and mine, though each time I tried to check one out in Family Search and compare it to WikiTree there were some research to be done and no for certain cousin matches, though there probably are.

Carl Edvard Isaksen 1873 Amanda Birgithe Larsen Dyrnes 1878
Carl was born in Oksfjordhamn on the Arneng farm, and he later dropped the name Arneng. On July 28, 1904 Carl and Amanda were married. Amanda was from Dyrnes in Oksfjordhamn. Carl Edvard was lost at sea when his children were still very young, and we have very little information about him. Amanda moved back to her family in Kjøllefjord after his death. Their Children were:
Alfhild Ottelie Isaksen 1905-1973 Gudrunn Nilsen -1974 Karl Isaksen https://arneng.com/sami/#Isak%20Carlsen
Marie C. Nelson reported on these events in a 1988 doctoral dissertation from Uppsala titled Bitter Bread: the Famine in Norrbotten in 1867-1868. The prolonged cold spell resulted in crop failures, sale of land, bankruptcies, foreclosures, emigration and even the sale of children. The surrogate foods included lichens, straw mixed with flour, the inner bark of trees, mushrooms, ground pond lilly roots, etc. https://arneng.com/sami/#Isak%20Carlsen
Isak's brother Frederick came to Arneng in 1870 and took part in fishing for a few years before emigrating to the US. https://arneng.com/sami/#Isak%20Carlsen

The problem here is that many with Saami ancestry have all their lives been told that the Saamis are the indigenous people of the Nordic countries, and perhaps even of the whole of Europe and that they, therefore, have an innate burden that justifies a special legal status with associated privileges.
The recent DNA results showing instead that the North-Saamis most likely is Europe's youngest mixed people, appear to be shocking to many and resulting in subsequent refusals and denials.
https://www.saamidna.com/
Although this model would have been accurate before 1350, for financial reasons this ethnic definition continued. It mattered little to the local authorities or church officials if the farmer was Sami or Norwegian as long as he paid his taxes.
In nearly all the pre-1900 Norwegian genealogical records the Sami were defined as exclusively reindeer herders. But the conclusion that the Sami resided only in areas that were dominated by reindeer herding, namely the in interior of Finnmark and small portions of Troms counties, would be incorrect. There are countless cases where whole families owned farms whose ancestral past were known to be culturally Sami, yet the parish records did not reflect this heritage.
From the Sami perspective, the definition of 'being' Sami is not as clear cut as the Norwegian perspective. Sharing nine distinct language dialects, exploiting every possible environmental/economical niche of northern Norway following the 1350 plague, and with no clear national consciousness (never having their own government), the definition of being 'Sami' is far less defined. This is an issue that remains controversial to this day within the Sami community. Figure 2, shows an example of the farming/fishing/herding economy of Sami - a result of the post-1350 migrations.
Although the actual percentage of Sami/Norse division has been hotly debated, this model reflects a more accurate description of the cultural demographics of north Norway up to the 1800's. Thereafter, many of these coastal Sami melted into the population and adopted the Norwegian language, so much so that many of their ethnic languages are endanger of disappearing today.

In this north-western part of Europe the Sami people is the indigenous population, as far as we know today. Many scientists believe that this ethnic group descends from the Komsa people, who lived along the northern coast as far back as eight to ten thousand years ago. http://www.borgos.nndata.no/Samer.htm

Læstadianism and Its Role in the Loss of
the Traditional Sámi Worldview
In January of 1844, a minister named Lars Levi Læstadius met a woman named Milla Clementsdotter in the Åsele church in central Sweden. He would go on to become known as the Lapplandic apostle and she would become known as Maria of Lappland. Their meeting would launch a religious movement that some would say drove the final nail into the coffin of the traditional Sámi worldview.
This paper is about that movement, Laestadianism, named for its founder. First, we will examine the traditional worldview of the Sámi and the historical background of Christianity among them. Next, we will look into the lives of Læstadius and Clementsdotter, as well as the followers who built the movement into what it is today. We will then be in a position to discuss why Laestadianism had such a profound effect on the Sámi and why it was able to “run like heather fires through the land,” [1] as well as what its spread meant to the old worldview. Finally, we will look at Laestadianism as it is today, and see how the traditional worldview is faring.
The Sámi practiced their pre-Christian traditional religion openly in parts of Sápmi, or Sámiland, (the Sámi ancestral lands) until the 18th century, despite the presence of Christianity and churches in the area since the 11th century. [2] This traditional nature-based religion had elements of animism and shamanism. It was totemic, ancestral, sacrificial and polytheistic. It was also comprised of many levels, including general Arctic, ancient Scandinavian, distinctly Sámi, and even Christian beliefs, as well as reflecting the lifestyles of hunter-gatherer and nomadic cultures

Juhani Raattamaa (1811-1899)
Erkki Antti Juhonpieti (1814-1900).
Two other early leaders of the movement that bear mentioning are Lars Jacobson Hætta and Anders Bær, both native Sámi followers of Læstadius. Hætta preached vehemently against the three main sins of the Sámi people - alcoholism, reindeer theft, and practicing the old religion. Bær was the alcoholic son of an alcoholic family of reindeer-herding Sámi who felt called to an extreme religious fanaticism in his desire to rid the Sámi people of the demon of alcohol. These two hard-line followers were instrumental in the riot known as either t

Jacob's Blessing
Lions are frequently symbols of leadership, as the lion is considered the king of the animals. In the Book of Genesis, long before the Israelite monarchy is established, Jacob blesses Judah on his deathbed, saying he is a lion's whelp, or cub. Because of this blessing, the tribe of Judah adopted the symbol of the lion to represent itself.
The blessing Jacob gives to Judah in Genesis 49 reflects this symbolism.

The griffin in its earlier forms had the head and wings of an eagle and the body of a lion.
According to the Illustrated Dictionary of Egyptian Mythology, the “griffin was known in Egypt before 3300 BC and is possibly more ancient still.” It was a symbol of protective power.
https://japanesemythology.wordpress.com/exploring-griffin-and-dragon-connections-and-origins-in-early-prehistoric-times/
Academy of Classical Christian Studies bears as its mascot the griffin, a half-eagle, half-lion creature with a long and venerable history. The English word “griffin,” sometimes spelled “gryffin” or “gryphon,” derives from the Greek word “gryphon” or “gryps.” The Greeks in turn, however, had derived their word from the ancient Near Eastern “karibu,” a word and a creature that seem to be directly related to the Hebrew “cherub.” Depending on whether the closest relative of the Hebrew word is Phoenician or Persian, William Gesenius suggests it may mean either “divine steed” or “one who ministers at God’s throne” on the one hand, or else “keeper” on the other hand. https://thescholarsblog.wordpress.com/2013/10/01/the-griffin-a-heavenly-creature/
Symbols associated with the Tribe of Dan include a lion, snake, eagle, dragon, and griffin. A griffin is an imaginary creature with the wings and body of an eagle and the head of a lion. The Hyksos rulers of Egypt used a griffin as their symbol. The Hyksos were either Hebrews or a Band of Egyptian rulers who relied on Israelites in their forces and were heavily influenced by Hebraic and Canaanite culture. https://hebrewnations.com/articles/tribes/dan/a-few-notes-on-dan.html
tree of life, a widespread archetype common to many religions, mythologies, and folktales. The tree of life is a common idea in cultures throughout the world.

One of the first Jewish congregations in America was the Touro Synagogue in New York City. Finding a place of safety where they could practice their faith without persecution allowed this group of Sephardic Jews to prosper and build their community. Many Jews who fled the Inquisition in Europe became crypto-Jews in the Americas, hiding under a veneer of conversion to Roman Catholicism. Some obstacles to genealogical research have come about because of the need to hide Jewish roots.
In this selected bibliography are publications that may guide researchers to sources for Jewish ancestors who practiced their faith openly, as well as to those who tried to disguise that faith. https://guides.loc.gov/portuguese-genealogy/jews

One of the details in question? That a large portion of Jews may be descended from the Khazars, a semi-nomadic tribe in the Caucasus that was largely destroyed in 10th-century C.E. — and not from the Israelites of the Israel/Palestine area from several thousand years ago. This theory, known as the “Khazar theory,” has been discredited by geneticists all over the world.
“The origin of the Ashkenazi Jews has been traced back to a population of Jewish people living between the Jordan River and Mediterranean Sea before the Roman exile,” the report on the 23andMe website read. “However, research suggests that Ashkenazi Jews who belong to your haplogroup may descend from a single male who… may have been a member of the Khazars, an enigmatic Turkic tribe that lived in Central Asia, and that converted to Judaism in the eigth century A.D.”
Now, in response to inquiries from the Forward, 23andMe is saying the inclusion of the Khazar theory in the company’s latest genetic report — one of many released to customers on Friday — for some Ashkenazi Jews was “an error.”
The haplogroup in question — called variously R-M512 and R1a — is present in about 50% of Jews who descend from the tribe of Levi.

Ashkenazi Jews Are Not Khazars. Here’s The Proof.
Globally speaking, all arguments suggested by proponents of Khazarian theory are either highly speculative or simply wrong. They cannot be taken seriously.
This has never stopped the theory from being popular. But the ideological reasons for this are for another article.

Judaism
The Silk Road became a meeting point between Iranian religions and another ancient faith, Judaism. Judaism as expressed in both its ancient oral and written traditions was centered on the belief in one God, who revealed Himself to the people of Israel and made a covenant with them to live according to His will, as articulated in the Torah (the first Five Books of the Hebrew Bible) and concretized as Halakah, or "the way." Part of this ancient history is traced to Abraham, the great Patriarchal figure in Judaism, and his descendants, who were chosen by God to lead the people from slavery to freedom. The well-known event of the Exodus, under the prophetic figure of Moses (ca. 1200 B.C.E.), led to their eventual settlement in Israel, the emergence of a kingdom, and the writing down and codification of the first part of the Scriptures.
In 586 B.C.E., the southern part of the kingdom, Judah, was conquered by the Babylonians, and this led to many Jews being exiled to Central Asia. In 559 B.C.E., the Sasanian ruler Cyrus freed the Jewish population, and, while some returned to Israel, many chose to stay in Iran, where they continued to practice their faith. They also created Jewish settlements along the Silk Road, including in the cities of Samarkand and Bukhara. Jewish practices and beliefs were enriched by contacts with existing traditions and the intellectual heritage of Iran, and then Greece. Apart from the original community of exiled Jews, it seems that Judaism gained local converts, too, though these were not a result of proselytization. The Jewish presence in the region continues to the present.

It’s my thesis that for a country to be “successful” for a considerable period—success being defined loosely here as economically prosperous, politically stable, and militarily defensible—it must possess substantial TTD. That’s not a pronounceable acronym, unfortunately, but it stands for trade, tolerance and decentralization.
Each of these three criteria for success is worth volumes of discussion but here’s the nub of it: When economic freedom and private property exist, trade flourishes. And trade is what peaceful humans do to satisfy wants and improve material well-being. Choke it off and living standards plummet. Tolerance is a sign that people appreciate the benefits derived from diversity in personal choices. An intolerant people deprive themselves of what others can offer and waste time and resources fighting instead of collaborating. Decentralization preserves the rich identities of local communities and stymies the concentration of authority with its inevitable corruption. Power dispersed is power tamed.
A Turkic people, the Khazars asserted their independence from a weakened Western Turkish Empire in the middle of the 7th Century. The overland routes they built connected to the famous “Silk Road,” which in turn linked Europe with Asia. Khazaria’s geographical position provided unique economic advantages its people eagerly embraced, much as a small town grows when a new interstate highway opens a few miles away. Khazaria became a bridge between East and West, which meant that not only could its people easily engage in trade with others in either direction, they also witnessed a plethora of exotic goods and travelers moving through the region.
Khazaria provided safe passage and imposed minimal taxation on traders, making the country one of the medieval world’s thriving commercial crossroads. The Arabs to the southwest highly prized Khazarian furs and clothing. The Khazars traded their own silver coins for mirrors from China. The game of chess likely originated in Khazaria, which exported it to Europe. Archeologists have found evidence that Khazarian traders journeyed as far as Sweden.

The Khazarian hypothesis is most strongly associated with the noted Hungarian-Jewish polymath Arthur Koestler, who advanced the hypothesis in The Thirteenth Tribe, published in 1976. The Khazars were a nomadic tribal confederacy that established a strong, trade-based state centered in the lower Volga River during the early Middle Ages. Their elite stratum definitely converted to Judaism, although it is unknown how deeply the religion penetrated into the rest of their diverse society. Although Koestler’s arguments were intriguing, solid evidence in support has been lacking, and most recent genetic studies have indicated that the Khazarian contribution to European Jewry was minimal at best. Until the publication of Elhaik’s work, the Khazarian thesis was all but defunct.

Andriy Kobalia: Unlike many other historians, you believe that the Khazars did not adopt Judaism. Why?
Shaul Stampfer: I want to start with general things. It is much easier to prove that something happened than to prove that some event did not take place. When you want to prove the former, you simply find one source, you present it, and there’s your proof. If you believe that nothing really happened, you must consider all possible circumstances and prove that all the evidence is unreliable. This is what I am trying to do in my research on the Khazar Khanate.
The question of the Khazars’ conversion to Judaism is very reminiscent of the principle of today’s fake news. There is material in a newspaper, on the radio, or on television. If this is broadcast by an official state source, then everyone starts believing it. But what source of information? The Khazars were pagans for a long period of time. The truth is that we know very little about the Khazars. They did not leave us texts or inscriptions and not very many material artifacts. We know about them because they were mentioned by their enemies.
Jewish nomads, or was the Khazar Khanate a Jewish State?
Posted On: March 19th, 2019
Posted In: Jews on Ukrainian Lands, Hromadske Radio, Sponsored Projects, Audio/Visual Media, History
The historian Shaul Stampfer discusses the religion of Khazaria
The Khazar Khanate existed from the seventh to the tenth century. At the peak of its prosperity this nomadic Turkic state controlled the Northern Caucasus, the Lower and Middle Volga regions, part of Kazakhstan, as well as part of the territory of contemporary Ukraine, including Crimea, the Left Bank, and, in the view of some historians, even Kyiv.
The history of Khazaria is typical of the Early Medieval Turkic state. It emerged from an alliance of tribes, captured surrounding territories, then disappeared without leaving many traces. However, this nomadic state existed for three hundred years, waged wars, and traded with Byzantium, the Arab Caliphate, the Vikings, and it may have been the only Jewish state among the pagan nomads. Professor Shaul Stampfer, the former head of the Department of Jewish History at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, a guest lecturer of the Master’s Program in Jewish Studies at Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, and specialist in the history of Eastern European Jews, and I discussed whether Judaism was the main religion in the Khazar Khanate.
Andriy Kobalia: Can we trust this group of sources? Are most of the subjects legendary?
Shaul Stampfer: The Khazars were a nomadic tribe; the steppe was their native home. The capital of the state was the city of Itil. Today it is difficult to say with certainty where the city was located. The tribes moved together with the herds.

This is what I am trying to do in my research on the Khazar Khanate.
The question of the Khazars’ conversion to Judaism is very reminiscent of the principle of today’s fake news. There is material in a newspaper, on the radio, or on television. If this is broadcast by an official state source, then everyone starts believing it. But what source of information? The Khazars were pagans for a long period of time. The truth is that we know very little about the Khazars. They did not leave us texts or inscriptions and not very many material artifacts. We know about them because they were mentioned by their enemies.
The Khazars fought against the Arabs, Byzantium, Rus′, and the Vikings. But they themselves did not leave a description of their beliefs. If we are speaking about sources that mention the Khazars’ conversion to Judaism, there is a batch of correspondence in Hebrew between the Khazar king and a Spanish Jew. If we look at a map and imagine the people in those days, we see that there is a huge distance between Spain and Khazaria. After you read the letters of the king of the Khazars, many questions arise. There is simply an ideal language there. Even today it would be difficult to find a person who can write so beautifully and in this grammatically correct fashion.
In my opinion, this text was written in Spain, which in those days was the center of Hebrew-language literature.
So, there is a very fine description of the state in this correspondence; it talks about Crimea and other territories. But the description of the eastern border is obscure. It is very likely that some person was describing what he had heard from others, and did not know where the border of this state lay. In the texts it is written that a generation ago the king of the Khazars was choosing a religion and decided that his religion would be Judaism. The question is that, if we are to believe the source, then the Khazars converted to Judaism before the Khazar Khanate even came into existence.
Shaul Stampfer: I agree with you that it is necessary to examine various sources. Khazaria and Byzantium were allies against the Arab states that were pushing northward. I made a very careful study of Byzantine sources and spotted something very strange. There are very many mentions of this state, but not a single one about how they converted to Judaism. The Byzantines were Eastern-rite Christians. Why did they not write that they had dealings with a tribe that professed a religion which rejected the principles of their religion?

Looks like a good dna match, with Thomas Murphy and his son C. Murphey going back to the Lukens family ancestors Nathan Potts and Ester Rhodes.
Also have a match with Herman Potts Miller III with these ancestors. All on GPA Lukens side of the family tree.
....
Also on MH, dna match with myself and Shelley Crow, her maternal grandfather was Walter Beardslee, who is in FS at:

Wilhelm Niepoth Jansen Lucken 1620 – 16 August 1694 • LCC2-NC2 https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/LCC2-NC2
So a true, Lukens and Op Den Graeff connection.
This dna match has GPA Lukensn, myself, and Lars and Mom all showing as matches.
Also on MY, Susan Black is a Lukens cousin.
Going back to Matthias M. Lukens b 1731. I am a descendent from his first wife E. Clayton and Susan is a descdent via his second wife Jane N. Jackson.
So DNA going back to Matthias M. Lukens himself.
on her side is via Abraham 1777-1848, Matthias, George Edwin, then Nancy P Lukens and her daughter Marjorie C Crosby who is the maternal grandmother of Susan Black.

https://ancestors.familysearch.org/en/KW68-NNS/samuel-amos-woolley-1825-1900
Samuel Amos Woolley (1825-1900) was a member of the prominent early LDS Woolley clan. Like his more famous brother Edwin D., Samuel was bishop of a Salt Lake City ward. He served a mission to India beginning in 1853. This photo was scanned from Preston Woolley Parkinson, The Utah Woolley Family, Salt Lake City, 1967, p. 165;
He has a small gold loop ear ring in one ear. The best reply in the comments was:
"Woolley’s might be explained by the sailor tradition of getting an earring when you’ve sailed around the world (or, alternatively, crossed the equator), but that’s only a guess." http://www.keepapitchinin.org/2013/01/09/subversive-photographs/
https://www.geni.com/people/Samuel-Woolley/6000000001220246329
He was closely associated with Brigham Young, who trusted him with many important matters pertaining to the Church. There was no faltering of his duty whether it was in business or religious assignments.
He died at the age of 75 years. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/28539820/samuel-amos-woolley

Why it’s empty: Donated to a college
For decades, this curious, triangle-shaped building sandwiched between two high-traffic streets in St. Johns was home to an auto parts shop owned by an eccentric named Merlin Radke. When Radke died in 2017, he left much of his estate, including this beige, single-floor building to Warner Pacific University. (Radke’s attorney, Michael Peterson, recalls that Radke started attending church later in life. He never married or had children.)
Andrea Cook, former president of Warner Pacific, first met Radke on campus as she was walking to her car in 2006.
“He stopped me and asked, ‘What would it take to get my name on a building?’ I learned a long time ago that you take every question seriously. So I said let’s talk,” Cook recalls. “We talked about it off and on for 10 years, and ultimately he decided to give his assets to the university.”

Fisher King
In a legend in north-western Europe, especially the Brythonic regions of Wales, Cornwall, and Brittany there is the tale of the Fisher King (French: Roi pêcheur; Welsh: Brenin Pysgotwr). He is also known as the Wounded King or Maimed King (Roi blessé, in Old French Roi Méhaigné, Welsh: Brenin Clwyfedig). The king is the last of the bloodline that guards & keeps the Holy Grail, and has a lasting wound, mentioned to be on his legs or groin. This supposedly never heals and ties with land of his estate. While wounded he can't do much except fish from a boat on a river / lake on his estate. The land of the estate is meant to be quite desolate due to the never-ending wound. Only by answering a question he poses correctly will the wound heal, the land recover and the person can be shown or have access to the Fisher King's treasure. His castle is called Corbenic. His treasure consists of the Holy Grail, the Bleeding Lance, and a sword (thought by some to be Excalibur).

Considerant was born in Salins-les-Bains, Jura and studied art and music at the École Polytechnique (1826 diploma). Subsequently working as a musician , he collaborated with Fourier on newspapers. He edited the journals La Phalanstère and La Phalange.
Considérant wrote much in advocacy of his principles, of which the most important is La Destinée Sociale. He is also the writer of a Democracy Manifesto, which was very similar to the Communist Manifesto released five years later by Marx and Engels. Considerant defined the notion of a "right to (have) work", which would be one of the main ideas of French socialists in the 1848 Revolutions. He is also known for having devised the proportional representation system. https://en.geneastar.org/genealogy/considerant/victor-prosper-considerant

Here’s how he describes Melungeons (p. 286):
The Melungeon population of Appalachia has been the subject of a tremendous amount of interest and controversy lately. A consensus appears to be building that this population, once thought to be small, is rather large and is a result of the mixing of Iberian and Middle Eastern settlers who had been part of Spanish and English trading parties with the indigenous population of the American Southeast. Later migrations into the Piedmont and upper South by refugees of the Inquisition (Sephardic Jews and Moors) in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries supplemented this population (see Hirschman 2005; Kennedy and Kennedy 1997). Our families were of this mixture.
Professor McCormick goes on to write about his personal Melungeon genealogy:
Sephardic names include Cuba, Pillo Monnis Callahin, Jorgas, Nassi, Khanadi, Rosa, David, Baez, Santos and Gascon. The families that were at one point crypto Jews include Kieffer, Mayabb, Dula D’Aultun, Baigne and Ball. Our Melungeon families are Sizemore, Yates, Brashears, Collins, Lucas, Noel, Bass, Kennedy, Davis, Nash, Mullins, Center and Carrico. The family names on the Miller-Guion and Dawes rolls include Tunnell, Mabe, Waller, Yates and Doolin. https://dnaconsultants.com/melungeons-beginning-emerge-mists/

Sassoon Eskell (1860-1932) was born in Baghdad to a wealthy and illustrious Mizrachi Jewish family. At the time, some 40% of Baghdad’s population was Jewish. Eskell’s father was a rabbi, and at one point served as the chief rabbi of India’s large Baghdadi community. Eskell studied law and economics in Istanbul, London, and Vienna. He spoke nine languages fluently, and became the official translator (dragoman) for the Ottoman government in Baghdad. When the Ottomans drafted a constitution and established a new Turkish Parliament in 1908, Eskell was elected as Baghdad’s deputy representative. https://www.jewoftheweek.net/2021/10/14/jew-of-the-week-sir-sassoon-eskell/

The story of Tillamook County began on August 14, 1788 when Captain Robert Gray, an American sailing the sloop “Lady Washington,” anchored in Tillamook Bay thinking he had found the “great river of the West.” This was the first landing on the Oregon coast.
In its early years, the town of Tillamook, the first community to be settled in the county, bore the unofficial names Lincoln and Hoquarton, the latter believed to be an Indian name meaning “the landing.” Its name was eventually changed to Tillamook, an Indian word meaning “the many peoples of the Nehelim.”

Queen Christina of Sweden consulted the Jewish doctor, Benedict de Castro (Baruch Nehemias) (1597-1684) in 1645. He was a Sabbatean and the first identifiable Jew to visit Sweden. Christina abdicated in 1654. For a time she stayed in Antwerp with Diego Teixeira Sampayo (Abraham Senior Teixeira – part of the Teixeira de Mattos family). Before his mission to Oliver Cromwell in 1655, Menasseh Ben Israel called on her.

Who was one of the main persons who controlled diamond and gold mining in South Africa.
JCI or Johannesburg Consolidated Investment Co. Ltd. was founded in 1889 by the British entrepreneur Barney Barnato. JCI was a major force in South African mining for over 100 years. Using his investments in the Kimberley diamond fields, particularly his 25% share in De Beers, Barnato foresaw the value of and invested in the potential of the Witwatersrand gold mines. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/JCI_Limited
his brother:
Henry Isaacs “Harry” Barnato South African Mining Magnate, went to the Kimberley diamond diggings in South Africa with his brother Barney where he first acted in Shakespearean plays but quickly lapsed back into his Cockney dialect after the shows. Together with Barney, he founded Barnato Brothers Ltd. which was eventually sold to empire builder Cecil John Rhodes, with a deal-breaker clause that the Barnatos should be the first Jewish members admitted to the exclusive Kimberley Club. Husband of Rebecca Pollack, father of Leah (Lilly) Barnato, Mrs Samuel Asher. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/116508971/henry-isaacs-barnato

However, all these daring and dramatic robberies absolutely pale in comparison to the biggest diamond heist ever – by The Diamond Cartel In the late 19th century. The London-based Diamond Syndicate had worked out a cozy agreement with Cecil Rhodes, a mining magnate who was based in South Africa. They agreed that they would purchase his diamonds at a fixed price, which maintained the diamond prices. This was very profitable for all involved, but there was a problem. New diamond mines were always a threat. This wasn’t lost on Rhodes, as he was personally involved in the 2nd Boer War, a war he helped provoke to maintain diamond rights.The diamond business had become so lucrative to the London-based bankers and businessmen that they were able to use their influence (and colonial attitudes) to expand the British Empire deeper into Boer turf! In the outbreak of fighting, Rhodes endangered himself by travelling to Kimberley, a mining town, and began to prepare defenses as he knew he was a prime target for the Boer. The town was besieged but Rhodes’ friends in the press helped sway public opinion, pressuring the British Army into abandoning their plans to attack the two Boer Republics' capitals. The siege was then lifted on Kimberley and the other sites.The British won the war and Rhodes and his company, De Beers, were able to purchase up more and more territory. By the time of Rhodes’ death in 1902, De Beers controlled 90% of the diamond market and were effectively a monopoly.They used every trick in the book to maintain their monopoly right into the 20th century. By controlling the supply, they either absorbed competitors into their company or flooded the diamond market with similar diamonds of their competitors to put them out of business. They were also responsible for some of the best and most memorable marketing campaigns in history, all to open up new markets and create new value for their product. Of course, the most famous one being, "Diamonds are Forever".Since 2000, the diamond industry has changed. De Beers massive 90% control of the industry has declined to just about 30% today. Attitudes around the ethics of ‘blood diamonds’ prompted countries such as Australia and Canada to cease doing business with the De Beers ‘channel’, which broke the stranglehold that was gripping the diamond industry since the 1880s, leading to a more competitive and open market. https://varianceobjects.com/blogs/gemstone-history/history-of-diamonds-from-cartels-to-ethically-sourced-stones

Each of the three main groups is named after the religious leader that established it as a separate movement.
Christian communists
Menno Simons (1496-1561) was a Catholic priest from Friesland (northern Netherlands) who became an Anabaptist preacher and leader, instrumental in consolidating and institutionalizing the new faith. His followers were known as Mennonites.
Jakob Amann (1644- c. 1720) was a Swiss Mennonite elder who wanted to preserve what he saw as biblical discipline within the church. In the 1690s, this led to a schism. Amann’s followers were called the Amish.
Jakob Hutter (c. 1500-1536) was a hatmaker from Tyrol and an Anabaptist reformer. He led his followers, later called Hutterites, to Moravia, where they adopted the early Christian practice of communal ownership, in addition to traditional Anabaptist practices such as nonviolence and adult baptism.
Anabaptists were considered so radical that they were persecuted by Catholics and mainstream Protestants alike in Western Europe, which is why so many fled, first to Eastern Europe, then eventually to North America.
Many Hutterites in North America can trace their origin to Hutterdorf, a Hutterite colony in Ukraine and the source of a very successful “back to basics” campaign. This is because, by the mid-19th century, most Hutterites no longer lived in strict community of goods.
In 1859, Michael Waldner was one of the leaders of a congregation in Hutterdorf that reintroduced the practice. The group became known as the Schmiedeleut (“people of the blacksmith”), after Waldner’s profession. The next year, another group did the same on the other side of town. Their leader was Darius Walter, and they became the Dariusleut. Around 1875, both groups emigrated to South Dakota. Then, arriving in South Dakota a few years later, a third group of Ukrainian Hutterites under the leadership of teacher Jakob Wipf became known as the Lehrerleut (“people of the teacher”).

His sister, Margaret H May married John David Johnny Marks
John David Marks (November 10, 1909 – September 3, 1985) was an American songwriter. He specialized in Christmas songs (although he himself was Jewish[1] and did not celebrate Christmas[2]) and wrote many holiday standards, including "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" (a hit for Gene Autry and others), "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" (a hit for Brenda Lee), "A Holly Jolly Christmas" (recorded by the Quinto Sisters and later by Burl Ives), "Silver and Gold" (for Burl Ives), and "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day" (introduced by Bing Crosby). He is also credited with writing "Run Rudolph Run" (recorded by Chuck Berry) but this is due to his trademark of the Rudolph character, rather than any input in the writing of the song.
Johnny Marks's father, Louis B. Marks, was a lighting engineer. His wife, Margaret May Marks, was the sister of Robert L. May who wrote the original story of Rudolph. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Marks
