Well, it is going from Mac to PC, which might be part of the problem
Doubtful; I just think it's Internet Explorer being stupid, as it looks fine on Firefox.
You may very well have Jewish lineage; I can tell you that the surname is very likely Sephardic in nature, implying roots from Spain, northern Africa, or the Middle East, where last names involving Biblical characters is fairly common. My grandfather had his roots in Iran (then Persia), and carried with him the last name Eliyahu (shortened to Elia once his family came from Russia).
I suspect the Middle East, because of proximity, but I could always be surprised.
My father's people fled Hesse and Bavaria in the 1770s to avoid conscription, and settled on the Volga for 100 years. My mother is a Marian (literally, her grandmother's name was Mary Mary) through France from antiquity (Da Vinci Code, anyone?).
I get the sense that my people have always been on the run.
