Since I first posted, I found a lot of information. There is a ton of great information from the website cjh.org, which is the Center for Jewish History. Jewish people were enslaved throughout history, then there were sold off en masse. There are three major distinctions in Jewish divisions: Mizrahi Jews, mostly from North Africa; Sephardic Jews, mostly from Iberian Peninsula and Ashkenazi Jews, mostly from Eastern Europe. Duke studied people of known and unknown Jewish descent and found that 90% of Jewish people in the US are Ashkenazi.

In my case, I think my strong "European Jewish" and strong Iberian heritage comes from ancestors who were sold off by the Babylonians to the Spanish and wound up on the French/Spain border, survived the Spanish Inquisition and converted to Catholicism. There were two purges of non-Catholics, one around 1000 A.D. and another around 1492, so Jewish people converted or said they would convert to Catholicism or they would be killed.. When I found records of names of people who were interrogated in the Spanish and Portugese Inquisitions, I found many names that seemed to be French or could be re-spelled as a French name. It's been an interesting ride through history and I've learned a lot.

If you go to Wikipedia, type in "Jews" as the search term, scroll down to "Ethnic Divisions", there is information on the different types of Jews based loosely on regions. Mizrahi come from the "East", i.e. Middle Eastern and North African Jews; Sephardim, or "Hispanics" (Spain/Portugal, i.e. Iberan Pensinsula) and Ashkenazi from parts of Europe.

As a previous poster said, France was invaded so many times that there is no true "French Heritage".
