I was just thinking (uh oh!) that somewhere, at some point, I have ancestors who actually converted to Christianity. I wonder who they are... What their conversion was like. I wish I could speak with them :) I hope to some day...

Yes, I imagine so, Tele.

Herb- How about the ones who converted? Wouldn't it be interesting to speak with them?

I dunno.

My ancestors were zorosterans and moslems who might have been among persecutors of christians.

St. Paul was a persecutor of Christians too, then he converted :)

Since my maiden name is a very common Jєωιѕн name and my father's paternal ancestors immigrated from Germany near the French border in 1851, I am very curious. His mother, though, was a Methodist who is ultimately responsible for the loss of faith of 4 Catholic sons......

Perhaps some of our ancestors spoke to Saint Patrick himself (I am Irish as well) and helped him build the first churches.
