Chris Cornell was Jewish?

Ancestry sites seem to indicate Chris Cornell wasn't Jewish. This is one of them—https://ethnicelebs.com/chris-cornell . Maybe she was religiously Jewish or he made a mistake saying that she was. 216.47.52.36 (talk) 17:39, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

I'm not sure why this keeps coming up, but this has already been discussed and resolved in the talk page archives (links above.) ethniccelebs.com is not a reliable source either. Sergecross73 msg me 19:40, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

Have you ever thought that all these people saying he wasn't Jewish might be a sign that he wasn't? Have you ever thought that statements can be lies, accidental, or false; and then get peddled? Just because a site is an ancestry site doesn't mean it's not reliable. I don't know how you're saying that. I guess you might think .com sites aren't reliable? You can confirm his ancestry on that site. If you could point me to the Rolling Stone article (I don't see a link to it in the archive), then there might be some more credence to the claim that he's Jewish. Why would a Jewish woman have an English name? His mother's mother also has an English name. 216.47.52.36 (talk) 20:41, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

I don't think about any of those things, no. I recommend learning how Misplaced Pages identifies reliable sources to start off. Then perhaps you'll understand the situation a bit better. Sergecross73 msg me 20:51, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

not trolling either. Just saying. 216.47.52.36 (talk) 20:49, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

wikitree.com is another. Even ancestry.com doesn't support the claim that his mother was Jewish. 216.47.52.36 (talk) 20:56, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

Re-read my last comment. Sergecross73 msg me 20:57, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

Sorry for all the replies, but a simple Google search of "site:rollingstone.com cornell Jewish" doesn't return anything from 2005. So, there's a fairly good chance it's a lie. I'm just saying that it doesn't seem true to me. 216.47.52.36 (talk) 21:02, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
