Does it sound or look like I have Jewish ancestry?

Okay so I managed to find a way to look at family tree's a little bit (sort of.)

I seem to recall my grandfather saying his dad had the same name as him, so I looked for people of that name for the town he lived in. He was born in 1932 and I found a [his name] Bloom born in 1891. I traced this to 1850 and I found a Giles Blum - spelled with the u, instead of the double o's.

This would be funny though because that would mean the story of a certain famous person carrying the same surname being my great great uncle would be false because I've looked at his family tree and the names don't match up.

Is it correct to say your grandfathers name is Giles Bloom/Blum? and he was born 1932? And that it is believed his fathers name is also Giles?

Debra, you really need to follow the advice of Josephine (and others here).

Just because you think you recall one ancestor having the same name as another, and you found something on a family tree (presumably online?), it does NOT mean that this is your family! Everyone's family history is NOT laid out on an online website!

You need to either buy some certificates or ask a relative if they know (for certain NOT speculation) what the names of your grandparents were. Then come back to us with names, dates and locations and we will attempt to help you!

You are just going around in circles at the moment. Asking the same question on various forums will not help you find the truth! And some of the advice/opinions you have been given on those forums leaves a bit to be desired.

This is getting extremely frustrating as you don't seem to want to heed any advice or suggestions you have been given.

Is there a reason why you won't listen to us?  This thread is up to 5 pages now and you have not found out one fact about your Blooms! Re read this thread thoroughly as I am not sure if you have read or understood any of the advice you have been given.

I get the impression that you won't be satisfied until someone says "yes you look Jewish" and "you have a Jewish surname" so "you must be Jewish."

Thank you larkspur. 
(It would have been nice if Debra had bothered to let us know about her other thread as she's been offered help several times on this one.  )

Ernest Bloomer is not quite the same as Giles Bloom.....
Manchester is not quite the Black Country 
maybe she thought it needed different threads

You might be right larkspur. 
I've just popped into the other thread to see how it's all going and notice that Debra has managed to get back to the 1500s. So that's good.

But is she Jewish or not?!?!

Depends how she got to this point though, by researching, checking, buying certificates and proving the research - or by merely copying an online tree?
