So, a genealogy blog debunks that George Michael is (part) Jewish... Sort of. We previously read that he had a Jewish grandparent, but the blog concludes:
[L]ikely there is a maternal ancestor on George Michael's family tree who was indeed Jewish, so it was the case that his grandmother Daisy Angold Young was of Jewish descent some way back.[1]
So we docked George an I point (he's down to a 2), but Barely a Jew he stays...
Update, 2016 (RIP George): Not a Jew.
There have been various claims on the internet, some perhaps originating with George Michael himself, that George’s maternal grandmother was Jewish. These claims are not accurate. George’s maternal grandmother was of non-Jewish English ancestry.[2]
Thanks to Dave from New York for alerting us.

This is how the Internet works: someone puts a rumor out there, and it gets regurgitated. His ancestry has been studied. He is not Jewish. Just another in a long line that claim to be, for whatever reason.
ReplyDeleteWell then why do wikipedia have locks on the fact that he is Jewish on his Mother's side anyway. I tried to correct this fact and they won't let me oh... did you see that FACT! FACT! He was Jewish give him a higher number, please!
