I don't know which is more ridiculous, the usual anti-Jewish screwballs making a big deal out of this maybe true/maybe false assertion of the dead killer's friend, or the alleged quashing of it by analyzing surnames (now that's definitive, you bet) and/or positing Irish, English and German ancestry as, ipso facto, eliminating a Jewish background. (Huh?)

How could anyone ever know for sure what people believed, or who they were descended from, whether (for whatever reason) they admitted it or not or joined a synagogue or not? And why would anyone but a bigot (or, to be fair, the merely curious) make a whacking big whoop out of it?

You are absolutely right. Meanwhile, this here blog is doing quite well out of this passion on both sides. Since "Jews" is part of the blog name, a lot of inquiries of the kind "is [put a name here] Jewish" come here.
