I think it is possible that both sides had somethin' to do with the Middle Eastern. It was rumored in the maternal branch that there was Jewish lineage. This was told to me by Uncle Danny Warner. And on the paternal side there is the possibility of intermarriage. I know that the Houser(Hauser's) were Lutheran before they came to PA...can't be sure though. I wonder now if when Richard has his DNA tested if he is from the same Middle Eastern regions. We could be cousins! My conspiracy. I will look at my DNA that was done in the 90's and try and figure out why the person told us that I was Native American. I really love being any part Jewish though as I like Yiddish as much as British. Chuckle. It's not a Jewish conspiracy if it's true... history is all conspiracy ain't it?.... I don't know why Richard Houser said his Grand Mama was a Native American who smoked a corn cob pipe and read the bible...read(red) on the inside...maybe!!??...
