    bablah, please can you find out if Eleanor Fischer (Michael Brook’s maternal grandmother) was Jewish or not?

    I think it would make more sense for Michael Brook’s ethnicity layout to look like:
    50% Ashkenazi Jewish
    37.5% German
    12.5% Irish
    Only a suggestion.

    Is he 100% Ashkenazi Jewish? If I remember correctly (could be wrong) he said he had “some” Jewish family on his radio show.
