Some relatives posted info on TOWNSEND ancestry.com so I recently found various family lines to research for Jewish roots. Here's one of my early ancestors, SARAH CHANDLER, who married MOSES SIMMONS... She goes back to about a 1600 birthdate. Keep in touch if you like; I'd like to learn more about the CHANDLER name. I don't have proof of Jewish roots yet; many of our family surnames appear in avotaynu, CJSI, etc. so my theory is they were sephardic families who went to Engl, and who were crypto Jews in early America, too. A lot of our family surnames appear in First American Jewish Families, which includes early Canadian settlements. (The surnames appear, I don't know yet if my actual families are listed...) Out of print book...Barb
