Nancy Burdine was married to Abner Tacket. Nancy was of particular interest to Gladys for her Jewish heritage, often remembering Nancy's sons for their Jewish names Sidney and Jerome. Nancy and Abner had a daughter, Martha (Tacket), who married White Mansell. The daughter which they named Octavia nicknamed Doll who was Elvis' maternal grandmother."<br /><br />After Elvis' mother, Gladys, died, the King designed her tombstone with a Star of David on it to honor her Jewish ancestry, which was something Gladys was proud of.<br /><br />All sources for Elvis being Jewish come from one source - Elaine Dundy. I believe we need more sources than one to be sure of accuracy. The Hitler comment above is juvenile.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-52422077734252035472012-07-09T14:45:52.343+03:002012-07-09T14:45:52.343+03:00ELVIS WAS NOT JEWISH!

If he had been female, I guess we could care about whether his offspring are Jewish (although in reality there's not much we can do with this knowledge).
