[edit] Reversion of own research

<email correspondence with contributor>

Hi Jerry, my name is Anna Robertson. Robbie Robertson is my father's cousin. He was not born to a Jewish father, he was born to a Scottish/Canadian father named Jim Robertson. James (or Jamie) had a troubled relationship with his father and told the media for years that he was instead born to a Jewish father and took his "step-father's" name. If he were to take a dna test, even though his real father is dead, you would find him the son of Jim. Take my word for it! I am his family. Thanks! I was not trying to spam the website, I'm trying to explain the truth. Please feel free to correspond with me,

Sincerely, Anna Robertson
