I'm a non-Jewish male, however I am seeking to convert to Orthodox Judaism, a process quite unlike conversions to any other sect/religion, in the near-distant future.
I was born and to a certaint extent, raised a Catholic; however, over years of frustration and disbelief of Jesus and his escapades, I have become more and more hostile towards Christian fanaticism and their brand of religious supremacy. Seeing a cross and commuting to the synagogue, by which there is a few churches, I feel blessed to know that someday I will become a Jew -- which brings me to,
I have an intense craving to marry a Jewish woman and settle down to a heavily religious Jewish lifestyle. I fear, however, that her parents, grandparents will not accept me because of my nonexistent Jewish background. Furthermore, I believe that my line of ancestors may have come from Nazi sympathizers in Lithuania (this is only a hypothesis).
What should I do? Where do I start?
