Wait until the editors over at JNS actually read a history book some day.

"Today, the #American covenant is under serious pressure from two directions simultaneously.

The left has been replacing the covenant’s universal terms with group identity. The relevant question, in this framework, is not what you accept but what you are: your #race, your #gender and your position in a hierarchy of historical grievance. From the right, #ethnonationalism defines the nation by #ancestry and #culture rather than by shared obligation. In both models, the covenant is conditional, depending on which group you belong to.

Both abandon America’s founding logic. Both make #Jewish belonging in #America contingent in ways that Washington explicitly said it never could be."

AFAIK the Mormon church has the most extensive collection of open genealogy records in the whole world. Genealogy is a BIG part of their religion so they archive every scrap of genealogical data that comes their way.
