I thought so! I think I read that "-mann" is almost exclusively Gentile, though.

The last three sound like old-fashioned Dutch names. -je and -tje are diminutives, so Agnetje would be the diminutive of Agnes (though the g is pronounced as a voiced velar fricative, like the ch sound in Loch Ness). One of our princesses is named Ariane. Jacobien(tje) is also a somewhat old-fashioned name here.

Thank you for that info,they most likely were Dutch,They were from the Kinderhook and Albany NY area,two of the last names were Jans and Tietsoort.After a few generations the names became more ordinary and bland.

Almost everyone has Jewish blood. * Because everyone does not mate within ones ethnic group,over time everyone is related.
I find Dan Brown's theory (That there is a hidden direct line of decent from Jesus) humorous. If Jesus did have children (I believe that he did not) almost everyone can trace his blood line back to Jesus.
* It is more problematic for a native American and/or any ethnic group geographically separated from the old world.

True, but they (at least some) cannot trace a direct blood line to Jesus because Jesus was "only" 2,000 years ago.

It is silly to talk about the Brotherood of Man. It is more like the Cousinhood of Man.

If you go back far enough we all have a common set of grand parents of some degree.

Push it back far enough, and we're all committing incest.
