The surname 'Long' is German from the region on the lower Rhine that was called the Palatinate. The claim to this territory was disputed among many German kingdoms and also France, causing perpetual wars and devastation, so when William Penn sent out recruiters to get people to the colonies, he got a lot of takers among the Palatines. I am seeing German and Scots ancestry, but not Jewish.
Better picture here. Definitely German.
