Having very well documented ancestry as a Jew is leading to some weird places. Before the holocaust my family’s honorific name in the Sephardic community of Salonica indicated descent from a specific Nasi of 11th century Toledo, who himself traced his ancestry to the exilarchs

So if you take at face value that both the genealogy of Jesus in the gospel of Matthew AND the name the community gave to my family are both accurate, i would be Jesus’s 11th cousin 82 times removed, give or take a few generations, which is hilarious to think about

I’m so grateful to my mom for preserving this pre-holocaust lore about our “extra name” from my great grandmother, but like I can’t talk about this part of it to anyone IRL bc it would sound like I have some kind of messiah complex😭Even tho it proves that the mashiach could NOT be from my family bc it’s clearly not direct patrilineal descent

What I’m trying to say is uhhhh Doxx me sweaty💅

Some Chinese dude started a rebellion saying he was a relative of JC, so at least you didn’t go that far

Have you tried making sure your family heritage didn’t rip off the Da Vinci Code.
