@@blueblaze9862 Well, it can happen. The surname can pass through multiple generations but, for some reason, your DNA test only tells you about your portuguese lineage. At the same time, you gotta take into consideration that, if you come from a family that migrated to a different country, you might have your surname misspelled. It happened all the time to people who went to live abroad, same thing happened to a part of my family that now lives in Brazil, and the surname "Sanches" is, in fact, portuguese, so you might want to check that out as well.

@OstblockLatina 3 года назад

Yes and no. I mean, that is the most obvious conclusion, but Jewish people who were known for taking occupations related to trade that caused them to travel a lot very often (and who also had to flee from numerous persecution waves many times), would probably adapt their surnames to the language of the new places they settled in. So it could be either one or the other.

Do you think that it might be possible that the Italian that comes up for your family's results might be to do with the Sephardi? Because, lots of Sephardic Jews ended up Italy after they were expelled from Spain, and so the sites' reference populations might have some of that heritage too

@ade910 3 года назад

Although the majority of Jews in Spain converted before their expulsion or left for Portugal for a few months before returning and converting, those who left definitively overwhelmingly went to the Ottoman Empire and North Africa. Some families went to Italy but it was a tiny minority, particularly since much of Italy was part of Spain at the time.

@catalina6 3 года назад

That was my first thought, as well. Weren't Ladino speakers found both in Italy and Turkey in the not too distant past?

@@ade910 And of course many Sephardi ended up in the Netherlands and then some were among the early immigrants to America. (My relation Isaac Miranda was the first Jew in Philadelphia).Also I've read that many of the first 'Spaniards' in the new world were actually Jews, converted or not. Many Hispanic families in the American South West who go back to when the region still belonged to Spain have family traditions they think come from the 'Conversos'. Our families' histories are much more diverse, varied and peripatetic than most people realize!

Fascinating results! I want to take the Living Dna test that doesn’t have a Jewish category. It’s supposed to break down the admixture instead of giving people simply “ashkenazi”. I took AncestryDNA and it gave me 25% European Jewish. Wish it was more specific. Thanks for sharing!

@DrThomas18 3 года назад

Avoid Living DNA!!! It is very unspecific and politicized. My own small piece of Jewish (Sephardi) first came back as North Italian (and possibly West-Balkan). Since the last update also that vanished completely, probably it's not included in South Germanic?! But the worst thing of Living DNA is that they deny a separate Jewish heritage, either Ashkenazi or Sephardi, that's a very bad and politicized view! On the other hand they included "Kleurlinge" which is a very recent mixture of European and African, and doubtfully more ethnical than Ashkenazi! I would avoid Living DNA!!!

@aliner1546 3 года назад

@@DrThomas18 The fact that living dna doesn't have a Jewish category is a good thing because a lot of ashkenazi Jews are tired of getting 90-100% Ashkenazi/European Jewish. They want to see their actual ancient ancestry from Southern Europe & the Middle East. However Living dna is not THAT good, maybe taking the Adntro DNA test would be better.

@lisalovett1638 3 года назад

I tested on AncestryDNA and 23&me. I downloaded my raw DNA to the sites that let you do that. When I first did my AncestryDNA test it said "European Jewish". However, they update periodically. It's been years now. Now my Jewish Ancestry as well as the rest of my "Heinz 57 Variety" ancestry (That's what my late Maternal Granny calls us. She and My late maternal Grandpa pretty much didn't think I would ever find anything out because "Our family has been here too long.") gets more specific and detailed with every update. AncestryDNA has been the best for me. It really has to do with what you want to know and what you are looking for. Ancestry has the largest database. i have actually found way more matches on my Paternal side which is close to 100% Jewish AncestryDNA. When one looks at my tree it is a small gene pool. Nobody has married their 1st cousin (that I know about), but many families have married into the same families. It makes untangling the families a challenge, especially when everybody names their kids the same names. I have that problem on my Mom's side, too. Her side began coming here in 1600. Dad's side (My Jewish side)started coming here in the mid 1800s and settled in New England...say what? It's true .

Super interesting and informative. I just got my grandma’s results back from FTDNA. She knows she is English and Dutch. She got back 15% Iberian and 2% Mizrahi. No known ancestors from the Middle East. Could the Mizrahi indicate some Dutch Sephardic heritage (although she got 0% Sephardic) or just noise? Great video!

@CDPF5 2 года назад

2% can definitely be statistical noise, especially if your grandma's test was taken with MyHeritage, since they just love throwing random % of jewish or nigerian ancestry on a lot of results. Since you've taken it on FTDNA, I wouldn't rule it out but you should check other platforms such as GEDmatch. If GEDmatch gives you some indication of possible mizrahi or just generalized jewish ancestry, then those 2% might really be there.

As the DNA tests with some years apart from each other differ greatly, we can conclude that the DNA tests are not very reliable. DNA testers refer to their database and compare your DNA to what they already have there.

This is interesting. On myHeritage I tested 8.9% Sephardic, the rest Ashkenazi. It was a bit surprising because for all I know my entire family is Ashkenazi (mostly Central Europe, some Eastern Europe). Does it make sense?

"Italian Jews, also known as Italkim (Hebrew for Italians), have a long history on the Italian Peninsula and Sicily dating back to Roman times. The Italkim are historically a mix of the Jews from Judea, who were either brought to Rome as slaves during the Roman-Jewish Wars or as merchants and traders in the Mediterranean Diaspora, and Greco-Roman converts, mostly due to intermarriage. The early Ashkenazim in the Rhineland descended from Italkim in Lucca and Rome who migrated north to Germany and Frankish lands." --- Joshua Robbin Marks, "Seed of Israel: The DNA Guide to Tracing Your Jewish Ancestry."

With my results I’m Italian by the way but don’t understand where I get the 1% Indian which is obviously very low but I I have always had a love for India, Indian food, culture etc. so that’s so funny to find out somewhere down the line I had an ancestor from there!

On myheritage you should be able to look at the mizrahi category on dna matches and determine if you do have recent mizrahi by looking at full mizrahi ancestries, just wondering do you have full mizrahi dna matches on myheritage or you might have some mizrahi dna matches that you share dna on a certain chromosomes

I find the results of you and your parents very interesting. Just to remind that the first stop on the road of the Jewish Diaspora was Italy, as the Romans were the ones who took the Jews from their own land. Of course, those same slaves were ultimately able to find homes in several other European countries but many remained in Italy and are there to this day. That a few mixed with the Italian population is probable--and then can have migrated elsewhere. Do you and your father by some chance belong to the E y-DNA haplogroup, one of its subgroups? That group is supposed to have begun in North Africa and about 30% of Jewish males are said to be part of that group, including Albert Einstein and the Wright Brothers [who both look Jewish to me and can have been at some point in their family history]. Ramesses III, pharaoh of Egypt, also belongs to the E haplogroup. Going back to the Roman Empire, one can expect Jewish captives to have shown up there, as well, including Spain and Germany. We know what became of Spanish Jewry after the Decree of Alhambra in the 15th Century--and these went to Greece, Turkey and Egypt [again] and perhaps other places in North Africa. Greek Jewry was decimated by the Nazis, about Turkey I'm not sure, and the Jews of Egypt were forced to leave in the 1950's due to the Nasser regime. In the 14th Century the Jews of Germany had a very bad time of it on account of the Black Plague but afterwards King Casimir the Great of Poland allowed them to settle in his country with some moving eastward to Russia and elsewhere. You may know this information but not everyone will, Great eyes, Mr. Ross.

@you-know-who9023 2 года назад

@marianne Very comprehensive and interesting. Before the Roman destruction of the temple in Jerusalem there were also Hellenic (Greek) Jews and very many of them were Roman citizens there fore free to move around the Roman empire and a small population lived in Italy and Rome as free people However occasionally they may be exiled from Rome for a few years depending on which madman was empire. Generally they were safe enough as Roman citizens the further they were from Rome although there was a pattern of leaving Rome (or living quietly in the city) and then returning. Therefore it would be safe to presume that in addition to slaves there were also free Jews. Many free Jewish people and free Jewish Roman citizens may have moved to other parts of the Roman empire in western Europe such as Gaul (modern day France) and the lands which are now Holland Belgium and even the Roman province of Brittania modern day England and Wales. With the collapse of the Roman empire many could still have lived in western Europe until the middle ages when expulsions and oppression became more widespread when in fact the overwhelming majority were expelled from Britain and most of western Europe. However it does appear that Jewish communities continuously continued living in the various Italian states into the 20th century. As far as I know the Mussolini fascists were not to willing to irritate the Italian population beyond passing anti Jewish laws and attesting prominent Jews for political reasons. Deportation of Jews from Italy to the death camps after Mussolini was overthrown and the put back on power after the Nazis invaded Italy. By that time allied troops had also landed in southern Italy so perhaps the deportations were not as numerous as they could have been so many Jewish communities in Italy may have been able to remain in Italy I am not really well informed about the Jewish history of Italy but I hope these are informed speculations.🙋😀

@danielhillshafer5456 Год назад

Interesting. My Sephardic ancestry seems to come through as about 15 - 20% Greek/Southern Italian - depending on the testing company - Ancestry also assigns Iberian along with about 1% Middle Eastern. Does any DNA company know how to assign Sephardic DNA consistently?

@Seahorse20 2 года назад

My guess is if you tested with Living DNA, you would score South Italy, South Caucasus, Arabia, West Iberia, and North Africa. You could also score Tuscany, North Italy, Cyprus, North Turkey, South Turkey, Levant, Kurdish, Iran or Aegean. You may possibly score Northeast Europe (which takes in Poland, Belarus, Ukraine, North Slovakia, and Northeast Czechia). Some Ashkenazim score a small percentage of Northeast Europe (I got a small percentage in my previous results). It’s far more of a long shot but you could possibly get small Basque, East Iberia, Sardinia, or Pashtun percentages. Some Ashkenazim have scored Basque, Sardinia, or Pashtun. I put East Iberia in this group, because East Iberians (Catalans, and east Spaniards) cluster closer to Southwest French, and they have far less North African ancestry. Apart from Basques, East Iberians are the most north shifted of the Southern Europeans. Perhaps the Italy, and South Caucasus results you do get, do not represent gentile ancestry. On an autosomal level Ashkenazim, and Sephardim are akin to Italians, and close to Armenians. These results could be showing your Ashkenazi up as Italian or Armenian. Genetically Italians, Armenians, and Ashkenazim tolerate coffee, and are prone to familial Mediterranean Fever, lactose intolerance, macula dystrophy, and sickle cell anemia. Armenians, and Ashkenazim have a very high likelihood of having blood group A. Blood group A is highest in Armenians. Living DNA gives you haplogroups. My y-haplogroup is r1a-z93, which is the Levite haplogroup. This makes sense as in my father’s father’s line there are many Levite names.

Ok, we know for sure that both your parents have at least one copy of a gene that codes for red hair (Red hair is only possible when a person inherits "a red haired gene" from both parents) I was told it came from Ireland and in a video from UK was stated that the red hair come from Norway. "Dark hair gene" is dominant.

I wonder how significant the genetical variance is between Sephardi and Mizrachi Jews. Because post Inquisition a lot of them migrated to places like Morocco, Lebanon, Syria etc. Granted Jewish populations existed there prior to the Inquisition as well (and others migrated to places like Italy, Germany etc.). But it is curious.

I’m a black American and recently did a few DNA tests. On 23&Me , my results came back 78% Sub-Saharan African, 20% European, and less than 1% Native American. I uploaded my DNA composition to GedMatch, LivingDNA, and MyHeritage. Specifically on LivingDNA and MyHeritage, I’m 5-6% more European and 4-5% less African. I’m around 75% African on most of the tests on GedMatch with European and even Asian percentages. Do the contrasting ethnic percentages of these companies have to do with most of their databases being predominantly of white customers, or is it because each service has their unique way of analyzing DNA?

@GeneaVlogger 3 года назад

It really has to just do with each service having multiple differences in analyzing DNA. Each company tests different amounts of SNPS, they have different defined population groups, and have some different studies for the basis of their results. Having only a 5-6% difference either way really is much less of a difference than many others receive through testing with different companies.

@maestrosavage1359 3 года назад

Im British. I had mine done as my father is adopted and has no father listed on his birth certificate. I've always had slightly olive skin so I suspect some Iberian or Greek or Turkish in there. Nope, turns out I'm practically a poster boy for the BNP (British National Party) - 100% British Isles DNA (English, Scottish, Irish, Welsh - in that order). Not actually that surprising as my mine family tree is almost entirely focused in 1 area of North Staffordshire / South Cheshire bar for 1 Irish great grandparent. Whilst I would have liked to find something 'exotic' or more interesting, it is quite nice that I have an entirely rooted DNA to one place.
