Leonard Patrick is of Irish descent

If you google "Leonard Patrick" (in quotes) everything comes up Irish. He, like many Irish and Italians lived in Jewish areas. There were usually poor inner-city poor immigrant neighborhoods. Patrick is a surname that is almost always comes from Ireland and the U.K.(comprising of England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales).

Could you please provide me verifiable references stating that Patrick was ,in fact, Irish. As far as i know, many Jews have and still change their surnames to English or Irish ones. That does not necessarily make them so. Prominent examples include Sumner Redstone and David Copperfield. Anyway, i have provided a suitable reference for the statement about his Jewish ethnicity.

I don't' see that Leonard Patrick changed his name.

Many Jews changed their name to more American names for business reasons. I don't' see that Leonard Patrick changed his name. This usually comes out and is listed in places. This is especially true with criminals . When they are charged with crimes, it has their real names, Copperfield, Redstone, and others list their birth name, and Americanized name. i have never seen an other names, aliases, AKA's, etc for Leonard Patrick that are Jewish in nature
