Jewish Ancestry

So we all go back to someone of Jewish descent because Adam and Eve were the first two people on this earth and they were Jewish. So somewhere in our past we all come from Jewish ancestry. My grandmother is into genealogy and has researched one side of her family back to bible days and although she is not able to prove it she thinks someone pretty interesting is related to us. I'm not going to say who it is right now because I'm waiting for my grandmother to send me what she has so I can do my own digging and maybe find out for sure. But also on my dad's side I think there is more Jewish in me than I first thought. I have to do some research into that as well, but some of the American Indians were originally Jewish. And my dad has a lot of Indian in him. And some of the people that he's related to makes me wonder if they were of Jewish descent. I don't know why but the last few months I have become more obsessed with the Jewish religion, way of life, and who I am related to that was Jewish. 

I don't know what it is but finding out who I am related to has become important to me. And since the Jews are God's chosen people it is even more important to me to find out if they are Jewish. Maybe I've lost it, I don't know. All I know is something inside me is craving to find out, needing to know, needing answers to my past and why I am the way that I am. If heritage has something to do with shaping you, I want to know if it's true and how much Jewish I have in me.  That would be something far beyond words could say, how proud it would be to be Jewish.
