Whippette's father, Charles C. Bates, is listed here as being involved with the Ojai Valley Gun Club, and an address in Oxnard is listed alongside. When the name Suzette Bates is entered into the search box of whitepages.com, the address of 340 Foxglove Place, Oxnard is produced and a Suzette Bates aged between 45-49 confirmed to be resident at that address. Five of the names listed here can also be confirmed as resident at this address by entering them into the search box of whitepages.com.
We see from the Bates family tree that Suzette Bate's paternal grandmother has the Jewish surname of Sievers and that her great grandfather had the Jewish surname of Batz. The Batz surname in Whippette's bloodline can be traced back to 1811. As is common practice among Jews, Whippette's paternal grandfather changed his name - from Batz to Bates. Suzette Bate's great, great paternal grandmother, Ezilda Lezeth, had the Jewish surname of Seymour.
Traditional Judaism decrees that one can be considered Jewish only if one's mother is Jewish, and since nothing is known at this point about the maternal side of Whippette's family, it cannot be stated for certain that Suzette Bates is indeed Jewish. What can, however, be stated with certainty is that there is Jewish blood flowing in Suzette Bates' veins. That she cannot deny. Whippette is by any definition, at least half-Jewish.
Although Bates protests that the sunames from her father's bloodline are "German", it can be plainly seen that these surnames are, in actual fact, Jewish. And if the surnames listed above are "German", as she claims them to be, Bates then has to offer a credible explanation as to why each of these "German" surnames is listed in the Avotaynu guide to Jewish genealogy.
While Bates asserts that I "assert" her to have Jewish blood, the reference source that I use clearly shows that she is indeed of Jewish descent. Avotaynu is described as being "the leading publisher of products of interest to persons who are researching Jewish genealogy, Jewish family trees or Jewish roots. The books we sell are meant to assist you in your research - from beginner guides to books about Jewish surnames."
The 'lady' doth protest too much.
