Answer: Since childhood, I've been in love with all things British. My father's large family (our close relatives) is Manassite if anything. My husband and son are more Ehpraim.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
(7) Do you strongly believe you are descended from Israel? Or are you just mildly interested in the possibility?
Strongly believe.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
(8) If you do believe you are descended from Israel is there one single factor you can mention that initiated this belief?
Growing up in Armstrongism and a mother who was a Anglophile genealogy enthusiast were foundational. We have lines that trace back to Robert the Bruce, etc... Husband's ... (DNA confirmed) surname is one of the names in the Domesday Book. Maternal grandmother's maiden name was [ the same as hunband's]. Coincidence? Mother's name is Judith. It bothers me daily that I don't know / understand the Jewish ways and customs. I know we should be more like practicing Jews, if not exactly like practicing Jews. I've grown up observing the primary feast days (largely in ignorance). In order to be a better Christian, I know I have to be a good Jew. I don't want it (this is an impossibly difficult thing to want) as much as I can't ignore it and it becomes more insistent in my heart as I age. I just know.
Luke 16:17 "But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one dot of the Law to become void."
Matthew 5:17-18
"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished."
