My mother's father converted when she was 12 years old. My late Uncle said this meant she was no longer Jewish, so therefore, neither was I. My ancestors are Lowenstein, shortened to Lowe. Moses Lowenstein had 20 children, 10 each from two wives. Eldest son of 2nd wife is my great grandfather OB. Do you have a good online research link, please?

Hi Lesley,
What an interesting family - sounds like a topic for a book! Jewish religion is passed down through the mother so the important question is: Was her mother Jewish?

Yes, I know that. Yes, my mothers Jewishness traced back to Moses, as outlined, above. However my mother's brother who 'remained' Jewish, was certain that my mother 'lost' her succession as she had converted before turning 12, according to 'Reform Jewish Law'.. Do you know if this is true.?
