Jewish Elvis - In the fascinating book "Elvis and Gladys" by historian and biographer, Elaine Dundy discovers the Presley and Smith mixed bag of ethnic lineage from Native American Indian to Elvis' Jewish heritage.To be of Jewish heritage is maternal acquisition because there is no mistaking who is the mother of a child. Now because Elvis Jewish heritage ran uninterrupted down through his maternal grandmothers according to Jewish law Elvis Aron Presley would be considered Jewish. (а3 - не густо для потомка пастушек)
This is what Dundy discovered in her research: "... Nancy Burdine was married to Abner Tacket. Nancy was of particular interest to Gladys for her Jewish heritage, often remembering Nancy's sons for their Jewish names Sidney and Jerome. Nancy and Abner had a daughter Martha (Tacket) who married White Mansell. The daughter which they named Octavia nicknamed Doll who was Elvis' maternal grandmother."
(Про происхождение это всё. Т.е. сыновья пра-пра-бабушки Элвиса Ненси носили еврейскими именами Сидней и Джереми. Сидней(Сен-Дени)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremiah : 1)"He is commemorated as a prophet in the Calendar of Saints of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod on June 26. On the Eastern Orthodox liturgical calendar, his feast day is May 1. He is also commemorated as a saint in the Coptic Orthodox Church, where his feast falls on 5 Pashons." 2)"Jeremiah was a popular name in the United States during the 1970s, as well as among the early Puritans, who often took the Biblical names of the prophets and apostles."
Вообщем если и была пра-пра-бабка пустынной пастушкой, то видно сыновей называл кто-то другой.
