I take his word on it.
If he isn't telling the truth, then that is on him!
There are many records of those who are Jewish that go back a very long time.
And there are those that were lost and we really don't know.
Most likely though, if you know your grandmother or great grandmother was Jewish, I'd like to guess their genealogy goes way back.
I don't think many who were not Jewish were living a "Jewish" life or claiming to be Jewish although I'm sure there may have been some.
I know my great grandparents on both sides were Jewish and even have pictures of them.
