<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 10021011, member: 36"]I'm still having a hard time seeing her as Ashkenazi Jewish, in mainly Chinese dress and with Chinese features, but she could be. There were central Asian Jews who were the ancestors of many Eastern European Jewish people. If some went further East when the Khazar Empire broke up, it could happen, and there were Jewish traders in China by that period.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
