In a message dated 9/28/2010 7:38:57 P.M. Central Daylight Time,


My father was … Godlove, born in… in …, Iowa. His father was … Godlove who was a dentist (graduated from the … College of Dentistry). I don't have the dates of … birth, graduation, or death, but my brother, … Godlove, would have that information. My ex husband, …, could fill in the gaps from his side of the family. I'll write and ask him if he has an interest in doing so. He is Jewish, and lives in Seattle. I am very curious about the Godlove family's Jewish ancestry. Anything that you are willing to give me a copy of would be great.



Thanks!

L, I have your ancestry almost figured out, except I think I am missing one or two pieces. It goes something like this...Francis Gottlob/Godlove (Hessian soldier, and first to America), Adam Godlove (moves to Iowa), Benjamin J. Godlove (Civil War), Edwin Webster Godlove??, … Godlove …, … Godlove, … Godlove (and brother …). The ?? indicates that I am not sure about this connection. Can you check and see if this is the correct lineage?

As far as the Jewish ancestry is concerned, the only evidence that we have at this moment is the Cohen Modal Haplotype that the Godlove's and Goodlove's carry. This is a rare DNA that only 3 to 5 percent of Jews carry and is a connection to the priestly bloodline that goes back to Aaron. The evidence that Francis Gottlob was from Werneck is of interest because it had a Jewish Community but it is not known if Francis was Jewish or not. It is possible that he had converted or there had been a conversion or forced conversion at some point in the family line.

In terms of DNA matches most are Jewish and know of their Cohen background. Some actually have the last name of "Cohen". Some only recently have found out about their Jewish ancestry and because of WWII some names had changed and identities concealed while escaping from the Nazi's.

The challenge and opportunity we have is to make connection's with people that are also trying to connect the dot's of our ancestry through DNA. Not long ago nothing was known about where the Godlove's and Goodlove's came from. Now I believe we know exactly where we came from, and now we are connecting the dot's back through that time. It is through the project I call "This Day in Goodlove History" that I attempt to bring the pieces together. Every day there is a bit of information that helps to form a picture of what happened to our ancestors and and what was happening in the world around them.

I look forward to finding out about whether I am correct or not about your lineage. Jeff Goodlove





On this Day…

• October 2, 1187: Famed Kurdish general, Sultan Saladin (Salah al-Din) captured Jerusalem from the Crusaders. While the Crusaders had held Jerusalem, they had barred Jews from living in the city. Saladin allowed them to return, and for the Christian’s to stay. Saladin takes control of the holiest Christian shrine in Jerusalem, Church of the Holy Sepulcer. Instead of destroying the church, Saladin opens its doors to Christian pilgrims, many of them members of competing religious groups. To prevent one rival faction from shutting out the other Saladin places the keys in the hands of two Muslim families. Their descendants remain the gatekeepers the church to this day. Saladin’s physician was none other than Maimonides.[1]

Neighbors thinking they were secret Catholics (Note: Francis Gotlop is listed as the one and only Catholic on the regimental muster sheet.) reported them to the authorities and the leaders were arrested. Once it was explained that they were secret Jews rather then Papists, they were let alone and the leaders released. The oldest synagogue in Amsterdam (possibly all of Western Europe) is (possibly all of Western Europe) is “The Great Synagogue” built in 1671. According to historians, it was built so that Jews would not have to worship in clandestine places.[3]

In 1999 we examined Clark County Courthouse records in Springfield which indicated Conrad purchased 83 acres for $l,000. cash of the following description from a John Taylor on October 2, 1819.



“83 acres in the southerly part of the Southwest

quarter of Section 22 of Township 5, Range 10

between the Miami Rivers”. (Ref #11)





October 2, 1819

----







He (Conrad) certainly would have remembered the purchase of the state of Florida in 1819 for five million dollars because that was the year he bought the place on Buck Creek and the same year which he married Catherine and called her by the name of “Caty”.

---

Genealogists at the Troy Ohio Family History Center expressed the opinion that we should look for a second family at least for Conrad because of his age of 25 when he married.[7]

[5] Carnes (Cams) was a private in the Virginia Regiment as early as 9July 1754. (July 9)

[6][6] Washinton, in his mention of Redstone, is a reminder of the memorable and historical venture, which he planned at this time. This trip included several men, for guides, Indian interpreters, surveyors, chain carriers and guardsmen. Both Crawford brothers, Col. William and Valentine were included in this adventure. The principal reason was Washinton’s desire to see the great endless stretches of Kanawha country, which is now the present state of West Virginia. To gain more knowledgeable information of the location and value of the King’s Grant. To discover a new course to continual westward look. In these wilderness episodes, William Crawford was most generally notified and participated in legalities in his service as a surveyor.
