[quote=Anonymous]I recently found out my maternal grandfather was a Jew descended from forced converts.  I'm also led to believe that I do have some Jewish ancestry on my maternal grandmother's side, given what I've found out from researching my family history and the fact that a DNA test showed I'm definitely more than 25% Ashkenazi (it's not from my father's side).  However, I have no actual documentation that ANY of my ancestors were Jews, since they converted so long ago.  It's possible my mother converted to Judaism when she married her first husband, but it's such a sore subject that I'm hesitant to bring it up, and it would have been a Reform conversion.

My husband is not interested in converting at the moment, and I'm sure he would not be interested in an Orthodox conversion if he WAS interested.  I, on the other hand, am not interested in a Reform or Reconstructionist conversion.  What are my options?  Would any Conservative or Orthodox rabbis in the area allow a woman married to a gentile to convert?[/quote]
