In reply to:
Sarah Bantz, born 1822 in Germany, married James W. Kyle

I was just wondering if the Bantz family was ever Jewish in the past, or are there Bantz families that are Jewish ?The reason I wonder is that My ancestor Sarah Bantz married into the Kyle family, which our family legend has it , came out of Russia, fleeing the Czar to Ireland, where they apparently either married into the Kyle family, or just took on the Kyle surname.. We believe that they were perhaps Jews from Belarus .
Any possible information would be helpful !
Thanks,Glenn Hill
