The headline is not quite accurate, but it is indirectly true, and it is fitting. What Sonny Eanes really admitted to is being a descendant of Edward Eanes, who came to Virginia in the early 18th century.
It may be possible, as some sources suggest but do not document, that the name Eanes could be of French origin. But it is historically verifiable that Edward Eanes was a Sephardic Jew, of a family of Jews which had fled persecution in Portugal and moved to Wales.
Now Sonny Eanes has often claimed his name is of French origin, and that he is not a Jew. However on the other hand, Sonny has also admitted that he descended from this particular Edward Eanes, who is verifiably a Jew. Here is one instance of Sonny's admission, from his own Facebook page, posted in October of 2017:

Here is a Wikitree page where Sonny's cousins, by his own admission, discuss their family history, and it is fully evident that Edward Eanes was a marrano Jew: Wikitree Edward Eanes (1700 - 1757)
There is also a Google Discussion discussion on the Sephardic Jewish origin of the Eanes surname, as well as a notice on Ancestry.com message boards. A website for the Canary Islands boasts that Eanes was one of the most common names there at one time, and that it is of Sephardic Jewish origin. There is also a Wordpress site specifically created for Eanes Family History.
The Eanes name shows up on a list of Portuguese surnames in Lisbon in 1565, and it is stated to be "From Johão", the Portuguese equivalent of the English John. That is because Eanes is a variation of Yanez, the Jewish version of John in Portugal, as some of these other sources have stated. This list betrays Sonny's claim that Eanes is French, as the name has a definite etymology from Portuguese Jews.The name Eanes is also an example of Portuguese names on a related article at Wikivisually, and it is explained at Rudahr.com that it comes from Yanez, which other sources state is the Portuguese Jewish spelling of the English name John. This is also verified at Wikizero, in an artile on Patronyms, and a similar article at the full wiki.
Moses Cohen Henriques Eanes was a Sephardic Jewish pirate. Sonny's behavior follows his predecessor quite closely, but Sonny is nowhere as adventurous. Sonny bragged about his family's musical tradition. Bluegrass musician Jim Eanes was also said to be a Sephardic Jew in his Wikipedia biography, and was a descendant of Edward Eanes.
In all of these places, which provide documentation for the Sephardic Jewish origin of the Eanes name, and specifically of Edward Eanes, members of the Eanes family who engage in the discussions are all proud of their Sephardic Jewish heritage. Sonny himself has admitted to being their cousin.
We cannot find credible information or a credible etymology for a non-Jewish Eanes family or Eanes surname. It is only claimed that it could be French, but never demonstrated how it could be French except by a few vague similarities with French words that are unconvincing.

Norman "Sonny" Eanes is a Sephardic Marrano Jew.
The following account is from William Finck's Facebook account. We have taken the liberty of posting it here because Facebook removed it for violating their "Community Standards". (((Oy Vey Sonny Eanes))).
Clifton Emahiser often made notes to remind himself of things he wanted to do, or things he wanted me to do or to talk to him about. When he was hospitalized this past June, I found this stick-it note in the inside cover of his copy of my Romans book. The hand-writing is faint but it certainly can be read. [Click here or click the image to enlarge.]
Below each line I have put my interpretation of his notes in brackets.
On the left side it says:
Fix 1 computer
[Clifton could not get one of his PCs to boot.]
Sonny's website
[Clifton wanted to know where Sonny had a website, since he claimed to have an online ministry.]
Gave phone to mother
[one of his portable phones, perhaps he thought he was done with it, or the battery died.]
Have doubts about Sonny ever helping anything (List of duties)
[Perhaps Clifton was wondering if Sonny was supposed to help out, but Sonny never had any duties around the house.]
Radio on
[Noise from Sonny's room may have been bothering Clifton, since he played Youtubes quite loud, and often played loud music when I was not home.]
Supply & Cook
[I do not know what this is. Sonny does not cook at all, and he was certainly in no position to supply anything, so it is probably not a reference to him.]
Bob in California or Philadelphia [Clifton meant to ask about a friend of mine, whom he also knew.]
On the right side it says:
Concerns
[about Sonny]
Gives CI a black eye
[in reference to Sonny]
Freeloader
[in reference to Sonny]
Old Glasses
[I do not know what this is about, Clifton was happy with his own glasses, and had several pairs. Maybe Sonny spoke to Clifton about his own glasses?]
I can summarize Clifton's thoughts about Sonny, but I tried to get him to get along with him, or at least tolerate him, which he began to do after a couple of months.
Here is my summary, which is also evident from the notes above:
Clifton thought that since Sonny did no original research, had no original writing, never accumulated research materials, had no job or aspirations to get a job, and only copied from what we had done, that he was a freeloader who would eventually be a disgrace or an embarrassment to our cause.
Clifton's concerns never went away. If Clifton knew that Sonny sought tithes from people for sharing our work, I am certain he would have been quite angry.
We are posting this at Zogbots as an attestation of Sonny Eanes' character from William Finck. While Zogbots is independently owned, managed and operated, we support all the work which is done at Christogenea.org. The following is from Finck's Facebook account, and the words are his:
Do any of Sonny's friends remember how he bragged about having quit smoking once he got to my house in Florida?
Well, he did brag. But did he ever tell y'all that he backslid and started again?
Yep, after hacking up black shit for two months after moving in with us, he did start again. But he tried to keep it hidden from us by sneaking around. Our camers caught him long before we did, and long before he was forced to admit it.
We all sin, but Heaven hates a hypocrite. Here is a video of Sonny smoking and pissing off my deck - which I asked him repeatedly NOT to do, but he never really cared - last July 31st.
Yeah, I got security cameras, LOL, and I saved a few of these for posterity.

We are posting this at Zogbots as an attestation of Sonny Eanes' character from William Finck. Think about this: what sort of man runs around another man's house in nothing but his jockey shorts, especially while there are women present in the house!

Sonny and our Guest Room
Again, this is being posted here because Sonny Eanes continues to slander me.
When we let Sonny Eanes move into our home, we sacrificed our guest room for him. It had a closet, a dresser and a couple of tables, and a full-sized sleeper sofa that was pretty comfortable. We slept on it ourselves for three months back in 2014 when we first came to Florida.
We told him that he should use the full-sized bathroom in the hall across from the room we gave him.
So this past Spring my mother decided to go live with my younger brother, and that freed up her room, with a full-sized bed and comfortable mattress, for us to once again have a guest room. Several friends visited and stayed there last summer.
When Clifton passed, we moved his bed, a nice twin bed with a comfortable mattress that once belonged to my grandmother, into Sonny's room, hoping that it would be better for him than the sleeper sofa.
Now, Sonny was homeless, and the beds we provided for him were better than anything he had for a couple of years. What more could he expect?
Well, Sonny expected much more. Nothing was good enough for him.
So we went on one weekend trip, and when we got home, not only was our guest room in disarray, but the bathroom next to it was soiled. There was even a piece of soiled toilet paper on the toilet seat.
My wife does not toil for Sonny.
For this, I lectured Sonny that he should stay out of the guest room, and use only the bathroom we provided for him. When he had the audacity to question that, I kindly explained to him that our guest room should always be ready for guests, and that he should be happy with the room which we gave him.
But every time Melissa and I travelled, our security cameras caught him going to the guest room at night to sleep, and returning to his own room early each morning. Sonny must have known that the cameras would see him, but maybe he just didn't care. Sonny acted as if HE owned my house.
I had way to much patience for this man than I should have. He is a real ungrateful piece of shit. I should have booted him out on the street right then and there.
There are three videos I will post here from one of my security cameras. These videos are uploaded to a server whenever motion is detected, as we direct them remotely.
This particular camera was positioned on a bookshelf to watch the rear entryway of my home, but it also picked up cross traffic in the central hallway.
Sonny's room is to the left of the camera, Clifton's room is across the hall, and their common bathroom to the right of that. Our guest room was off to the right of the camera. Three was NO reason for Sonny to go to the right of the camera unless he was headed to the guest room, as that was the only thing there.
Whenever Melissa and I were on the road, we know that Sonny would head to the guest room to sleep after 10PM every evening, and then back to his room to get on Facebook after 6AM every morning.
I didn't let this slide, I confronted Sonny about it several times, always telling him to stop using our guest room, but he only did so when we were on the road. Then he pretended to be cleaning it, as if that redeemed him or earned him the right to act against my wishes.
Just before the hurricane, I bought locks for the guest room door, and the bathroom adjacent to it, but I never had the chance to install them.
This man constantly showed us that he is arrogant and ungrateful, and this is just one of the activities for which my charity towards him had to cease. In my eyes, he deserves to be homeless.
