3. Response from Cherie Koch
====

Do you wish your answers to remain (a) anonymous? (b) Not anonymous but sensitive issues not publicized in my name; (c) No need for any anonymity but all may be made public.
====
Answer: no need for anonymity
====
Do you strongly believe you are descended from Israel? Or are you just mildly interested in the possibility?
====
Answer: I strongly believe that I am descended from Israel.
====
If you do believe you are descended from Israel is there one single factor you can mention that initiated this belief?
====
Answer: My belief initiated from my own personal leanings towards the Hebraic, and then grew to be supported by other research and proofs. Later, one of my main lineages was confirmed to be of the modal haplotype of Nial of the Nine Hostages, High King of Ireland. I first searched my family tree to learn why, all of the sudden, the children of my generation were so inclined to the Bible. My parents and grandparents were more worldly. I learned that I have a history of ministers, Bible teachers, missionaries, theologians, seminary professors and all sorts of ministry workers on both sides of my family. We have generation after generation of the name 'Jacob', for example. Then I began to study the Lost Tribe and migration patterns and have begun to see more proofs in support of being descended from the Tribes of Israel.
====
Where do your ancestors come from as far as you can tell?
====
Answer:
Paternal lineage: Switzerland to Wisconsin, USA
Paternal grandmother: Scots-Irish DNA traced back to Kings of Israel -Niall; she also had German ancestory through her father's side
Maternal grandmother: Scots-Irish mainly on maternal side with a little bit of Cherokee from North Carolina; her father also had Prussian ancestry through her father's side.
Maternal grandfather: English, Irish, German
====
What could be done to enhance the Presentation of this issue?
====
Answer: You do a great job, and have covered many bases/mediums.
====
Do you find our message convincing?
====
Answer: Yes!!!!
====
What do you particularly like about it?
====
Answer: You provide lots of data.
I like that you provide lots of data. I love Steve Collins and his works, for example. However, some of his books tended toward drawing the conclusions more than providing the data. In the past decade (plus), I have enjoyed the ongoing posting of facts of all kinds by Brit-Am. There is nothing wrong with either approach, but I do enjoy the offering of so many facts that we can research and explore.

====
What do you dislike?
====
Answer: The only thing that I can say I slightly dislike is that sometimes the website is not so easy to navigate. I have to search for the search box at times (over the years, not necessarily right now). I like that there is lots of material on the website and also an archive of Brit-Am Now, etc.
====
====
Proposed Publications.
Would you prefer a new work dealing with:
a. Biblical Prophecy and the Ten Tribes.
====
Answer: YES
====
b. Historical Evidence concerning the Ten Tribes.
====
Answer: YES
====
c. Which of the above two proposed books (all other things being
equal) would you prefer?
====
Answer: You should combine and make it part I & II
====
Is there anything else we could do to spread the message?
====
Answer: You have done so much!
====
====
====
Appeals
Do you read our appeals for funds?
====
Answer: YES! I NEVER BEGRUDGE YOU FOR ASKING. YOU ARE VERY KIND AND HUMBLE WHEN YOU ASK FOR FUNDS.
====
Do these appeals for funds create a negative impression?
====
Answer: NO. YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO ASK.
====
Do they diminish your zest for reading our other messages?
====
Answer: NOT AT ALL. WE ARE ALL FAMILY. HOW CAN YOU DO WORK ON BEHALF OF THE FAMILY WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF THE FAMILY???
====
Are they likely to have an effect on you, i.e. would you donate because of them?
====
Answer: I HAVE DONATED BECAUSE OF THEM/DO DONATE MONTHLY.
====
If you already donate, can you say why?
====
Answer: I AM A SINGLE PARENT AND I HAD TO WAIT TO DONATE UNTIL I COULD. I DONATE A SUM OF MONEY MONTHLY. I WISH IT COULD BE MORE. I PLAN TO INCREASE IT IN THE FUTURE. I BELIEVE THAT, BECAUSE I DONATE, I WILL BE UPHELD THROUGH HARD TIMES AND WILL CONTINUE TO PROSPER SO THAT I CAN DONATE MORE. IT WILL HAPPEN. IT'S SOMETHING WE HAVE TO HAVE FAITH FOR, AND IT WILL HAPPEN. THE WORK IS A DIVINE WORK FOR THIS AGE. IT HAS TO BE DONE, AND MUST BE DONE THROUGH HIS PEOPLE. THEREFORE, WE MUST DO THIS AS WE CONTINUE TO EMERGE AS A SET-APART PEOPLE. THERE IS NOT A MORE IMPORTANT WORK IN THE EARTH THAN THIS ONE. IT IS DESERVING OF OUR SUPPORT, AND OUR VERY FUTURE RESTS UPON THIS WORK BEING DONE (NOT ONLY THROUGH BRIT-AM, BUT SUPERNATURALLY IN THE EARTH.)

====
====
YouTube Clips.
We have now begun to concentrate a little on YouTube clips. The response on the whole has not been overwhelming but it does exist and appears justified.
Do you have any comments on this:
====
Answer: I LIKE THE YOUTUBE CLIPS. JUST KEEP DOING WHAT YOUR HANDS FIND TO DO! IT'S ALL GOOD!
====
====
Do you have an Obligation to Help this cause?
====
Answer: YES
Are you Prepared to Help Brit-Am/Hebrew Nations?
====
Answer: I AM, AND I WILL CONTINUE TO HELP, YAIR. I PRAY FOR AN INCREASE SO THAT I MAY INCREASE THE AMOUNT FOR YOU. PLEASE PRAY FOR US, THAT WE WILL HAVE MORE TO GIVE YOU AND HAVE THE IMPULSE TO BE FAITHFUL TO THE CAUSE. THANK YOU.
