I have a feeling I have Jewish blood via my Capon ancestors.?

My great grandfather was Alfred Daniel Capon., born Kent in 1850 & emigrated to USA in1909 to New Jersey.
Have tried Jewish genealogy sites but find them hard to handle. I know Capon is a Sephardic name. Please can anyone help???
I am trying to see if there is a Jewish connection, also where my ancestors came from.
Yes.am, he joined his wife who was already there. Her own family spent some time in Philadelphia and some of her brothers & sisters were born there, so there was already a close connection.

Instead of going to Jewish Genealogy sites, two people I can recommend are Charles Tucker who is the archivist for the Beth Din in London, and Dr. Anthony Joseph who lives in Birmingham.
Charles is a pukka Record Searcher (with charges) and has access to sources unavailable to the rest of us (like the Chief Rabbi’s records).
Anthony is a very helpful guy, President of the Midlands Jewish Genealogical Society – he lectures all over the World.
Both have web sites should you want to investigate further.
I’d start with Anthony and tell him Roni suggested contacting him for advice about your hunch.
