She has no spouse listed in the family tree, and her relative (daughter?) Amanda Sauls was the first of our line born in Alabama (born March 17, 1850, at Troy in Pike County). Amanda also has no spouse listed in the family tree, and our records say she had one son, John William Henry Sauls.<br /><br />Some sources have a Leevi [sic] and Rhoda Sauls listed as Jane's parents, but some don't associate Leevi with Jane at all. It's very confusing.<br /><br />Unfortunately, 23andme doesn't seem to think I have any Jewish heritage: I'm about 3/4 "British and Irish" (everything from the Isles except Welsh), 1/10th French or German, and a smattering of Scandihoovian. My Y-DNA haplogroup is G-CTS9737... obviously of mysterious origin, but, hey, at least I get to be related to Ötzi! <br /><br />Good luck with your blog and your research! :)Charles Sauls - saulsc at gmail dot comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739850232247714062.post-28619739384733331922020-01-19T17:39:58.938-05:002020-01-19T17:39:58.938-05:00Some of the research I've found says Saul went...Some of the research I've found says Saul went to Sauls.

I seem to end up in Germany with the Sauls line (changes to Saul) however my 7th great grandfather's wife (my 7th ggrandmother) was obviously from France.(Marie la Croix Lanois (Lanoix)<br />1660–1705<br />BIRTH 1660 • France<br />DEATH 5 JANV 1705 • Ids-Saint-Roch, France) I did get Germany/France on my DNA test.I can tell you that the Jews of the Roman Empire migrated to the Rhine River and spread throughout Germany and France. Jewish did not show up in my % on Ancestry but it did on MyHeritage and the other sites I uploaded to but it was only 3%. I saw a post from the Journal of The Sole Society that stated there is no info on the surname Sauls in Germany and it is probably not Jewish as it is not a Jewish spelling basically but everyone knows people changed their names, usually shortened them and sometimes just went by however the census taker wrote them since so many were illiterate and King Saul was the king of Israel and Judah. I really think the Saul/Sauls line came from Germany or France. I also have DNA matches to Germany and France.
