1. Jewish mother, non-Jewish father.
2. Jewish father, non-Jewish mother.
3. Jewish father, non-Jewish mother.
4. Jewish mother, non-Jewish father.
5. Gerty Cori appears on some Jewish lists, but not on others.  The most comprehensive biographical portrait of her is contained in Sharon McGrayne’s Nobel Prize Women in Science (Birch Lane, New York, NY, 1993).  McGrayne’s account is based on interviews with more than a dozen of Cori’s close friends and associates, with the details of her religious background obtained from interviews with Professor Viktor Hamburger and Ann Cori.  According to McGrayne, Cori was Jewish, but converted to Roman Catholicism prior to her marriage to Carl Cori in order to lessen the objections of his family, who felt that marriage to a Jewish woman would doom his prospects for an academic career in Europe.  This is in close agreement with the note on Gerty Cori published by Joseph Larner in Biographical Memoirs, Volume 61 (National Academy Press, Washington, DC, 1992, p. 112).  Further confirmation can be found in the interview with Arthur Kornberg (1959) that appears in Candid Science II by István Hargittai (Imperial College Press, London, 2002, p. 58).

8. Jewish father, non-Jewish mother, according to a follow-up dipatch issued by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA)  several days after publication of its October 14, 1992 story on that year’s Nobel Prizes, written by Tom Tugend.  Fischer is a member of the Board of Governors of the Weizmann Institute.

18. Son of Dr. Philip and Janet (née Sherak) Fire [see entry for Philip Fire in American Men & Women of Science: 22nd Edition  (Thomson Gale, Detroit, 2005, Volume 2, C-F, p. 1154)].  Philip Fire is a past president (1951) of the MIT chapter of the national  Jewish fraternity Alpha Epsilon Pi; see http://web.mit.edu/aepi/www/history5.shtml and
http://web.mit.edu/aepi/www/life.shtml.  Janet Fire is the daughter of the late Rose (née Goldstein) Sherak.  See also:

19. Willem Einthoven (1926), whose name appears on several Jewish lists, had a Jewish paternal grandfather, but based on the biography by H. Snellen (Willem Einthoven, Kluwer, Boston, MA, 1995), it appears unlikely that any of his other grandparents were Jewish.  Karl von Frisch (1973) appears to have had a Jewish maternal grandmother: see, e.g., p. 88 of http://www.speciesoforigin.org/FCKeditor/File/Najafi_The_Language_of_the_Bees.pdf.  Other names that have appeared on such lists include those of Erwin Neher (1991), Bert Sakmann (1991), Richard Roberts (1993), Phillip Sharp (1993), and Edward Lewis (1995), none of whom appear to be of Jewish descent.
