The rumours of Adolph Hitler's Jewish ancestry (Frankenberger) centre on the paternity of his father, Alois Hitler.
The stories that Hitler's paternal grandfather was Jewish first appeared in Paris before the Second World War. Hitler's cousin had tried to borrow money from him to finance his gambling habit and had been rejected. In revenge he broke the story to the media.
As the story was now in the public domain, Hitler's SS instituted an investigation of these rumours and (as was really to be expected) declared them to be false and without any foundation whatsoever.
Since the war, some historians have investigated and found no direct evidence in Austria to support the story (in particular, neo-Nazi David J. Irving). But, perhaps this also was to be expected after the SS had completed their 'investigation' (elimination) of evidences.
The circumstantial evidences still remain, however, and no more likely an explanation has yet been forthcoming to explain the true paternity of Hitler's father and its actual circumstance.
1837: June 7, Alois (Adolph Hitler's father) is born illegitimately from the 42 year old Maria Schickelgruber, most probably to the 19 year old Jewish heir of the Frankenberger family of Graz. (Maria had been employed by the Frankenberger family in Graz as a sewing-maid at the time she fell pregnant).
Maria has received financial support up until Alois' birth, which now terminates with a lump sum payment.
Alois' entry in the parish baptismal register leaves the name of his father blank.
Maria Schickelgruber subsequently marries a Hickler, who later dies before her son, Alois, begins his career as an Austrian customs officer.
1876: Alois 'Hikler's' baptismal-record at Dollersheim, Austria, is amended by the parish priest, at the request of the brother of the now-deceased Hickler, supported by the 'testimony' of two of associates (who are of known dubious character) to the effect that Alois' deceased foster-father, Hickler, had really been his biological father.
This is done to secure a career advantage for Alois in the Austrian civil service . Later, Alois changes his surname from Hickler to Hitler.
The problem is no one knows for sure who Hitlers grandfather was. If he was the 19 year old Frankenberger then Hitler was Jewish on his Fathers side. But his grandmother never mentioned who the father was.

There is a possibility that his Grandfather on his Fathers side was Jewish. Hitler had his cohorts look into the matter during his rise to power, not to mention all the historians who searched for decades afterward. There is still no clear cut answer either way.

Adolf Hitlers father (Alois) was born illegitimately. It was surmised that Alois's mother Maria may have become impregnated while working for a Jewish family, but it is purely speculation and little evidence could every be found.

read Brigitte Harmans' "Hitler's Vienna." She destroys the Jewish grandfather myth. She used Church records, genealogical data, and surviving police registry's to prove that it was a myth that Hitler had any Jewish ancestors.
