Hi, I am your 5th cousin 1 removed through Abraham and Sara Lopez Dias. I know we come from Spain or Portugal and have roots in Northern Italy. Cool video!
Are your grandparents John and Judy Bueno de Mesquita?
@@GeneaVlogger yeah
@@robertwalshjr3967 Be sure to join the family group on facebook! Your great-aunt Mireille (who lives near me in NC) is already a member. facebook.com/groups/107050151103
@@GeneaVlogger sure 👍🏻
@@GeneaVlogger can you tell about professions of ancestors of your family?
I'm a nursing student and love genealogy and your channel is a gem. Thank you.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!
Before I knew any of your background I’d of had you as a Celt... fascinating
Red hair yes, but Jewish eyes.
@@blahblahblahblah2837 what are Jewish eyes...
same hah
shape shifting
Why? He looks very Jewish.
When you say you don't know if they came from Portugal or Spain just looking at their last names I would say portugal. Lopes is Portuguese while in Spanish you write it as Lopez. Same goes with Dias/Diaz. Lima and Vaz are also pretty Portuguese names mostly found in the northern regions.
Yep.
Your sephardic family is portuguese.
I have "Sanchez" name in my family but no Spanish dna. My dna test revealed Portuguese
Not sure exactly, but the spelling could also differ based on Ladino, which is the historic language of Sepharadi Jews
CORRECT!!!
@@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.
I love this stuff- DNA and Genealogy
Me too. I did my results a year ago. I’m still a little bummed 🙁 that the test didn’t show any Native American. Considering all of my moms family says we have Native American. Otherwise I wasn’t surprised about the rest except for the 2.5 percent Finnish. I didn’t know about that but the rest I knew about.
I can say that "Nunes Vaz" and "Dias" are definitely portuguese
Thank you for this amazing video. I really enjoyed it
For sure that is Portuguese ancestry because Lopes and Dias are portuguese surnames (in spanish is Lopez and Diaz).
Not to mention that Brandão up there.
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.
But there are certain land territories that were once belonged to either one Spain and Portugal. Ancestry doesn’t pick up on territorial changes back in time.
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
Yes, that is certainly one of the possible explanations!
HR TheFlameBladesWielder true
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.
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!
Also i noticed you have your great grandparents stories videos and i watched those videos !! ❤️
I just discovered your channel a couple of days ago. I've watched a few of your videos and I plan to watch more.
Thank you so much, that was so so so interesting
I think it's much more difficult with such an endogenous population. There was one person on Ancestry who came up as a 4th or 5th cousin, but was related to both of my parents! I have never seen that before.
PS: 99% Ashkenazi here. 🤣
I see that a lot on Ancestry and I'm African American.
Yeah, i'd seen before that jewish people will look like a closer relative than they are 'just because' but no one ever stated what I assume - which is that such a small community ended up intermarrying to varying degrees throughout the centuries.
@@caraziegel7652 Unfortunately, it developed like this because of anti-Judaism and later anti-Semitism. Ashkenazi Jews were completely discriminated against by the rest of society, especially since AD 1100
I've also come across dna matches which appear to be somehow ŕelated to both my mother's family and my father's family
I did my DNA test on Ancestry, my sister already did hers a few years before I did and it changes a-lot but for now it said I'm 22% Swedish, 18% Norwegian, 17% Eastern European, which I know that's Polish because my Great-Grandmother/my paternal grandpa's mother was full blooded Polish, 15% Germanic European with traces to Northern and Central Germany, 14% English, and then something I didn't expected, Baltic with being 7%, 4% Irish, 2% Welsh and another surprising news from this for me! 1% French, which I know from learning through Ancestry through other people family trees that has names from relatives from family trees from each relative of mine I found through Ancestry, were from Quebec, Canada. That was my crazy results!
You are the most european person ever
thanks for that precious information
Another great video!
Huge fan from an Italian/Palestinian! love your work!
Your father is Palestinian?
Hi, I haven't watched the whole video yet, but did you have to sign away the rights to what they can do with your DNA? And if yes, what are your thoughts on that?
I tried 23andme and my results changed six times.
Eventually it all settled down, but there was a bit of the DNA that came back as "unknown."
Can't say that they really did much to clarify anything.
Thank you for sharing.
How do they distinguish splits in migration where members of a haplogroup move to another region? Would DNA tests trigger these other regions even if your direct line was never there?
I'm from Ethiopia I'm so interesting to do this thing
Myheritage.com is best and download kit into Gedmatch.com
@@buntingy MyHeritage is a really good choice. You can also use another company's kit first, then upload the data to MyHeritage and to GEDmatch both, and that way you'll be getting three different analyses of your DNA, DNA relatives, etc, while only using one DNA kit. But, definitely GEDmatch is a good follow-up to whatever kit you use.
I’m registered in my heritage and have been debating about the DNA testing I will order a kit and find out what I am. I’m really looking forward to it I’ve been tested before and discovered that in addition to Mainely European I have a little Ashkenazi from the Portland area in my heritage. Thank you so much.
MyHeritage doesn't recognize and separate indigenous DNAs for shit.
One of the most beautiful countries on earth
Greetings from Germany
I'd love to see you do a review of the new FTDNA match list, now that they conformed to the minimum 6 cM segment size.
Hi there!! I've being interested in genetics and geneology for many years.
One thing that I still don't understand is how is it that there are so many redheads amongst ashkenazi jews, (like in my own family, with my paternal grandfader, my father, some of his cousins, one of my sisters and one of my sons shering this treat). Where and when in history did we get it?
This is so fascinating. King David, from the Bible, was also described as a redhead! 🧑🦰
As I've been trying to build my family tree, I've continued to be stuck on certain family members & there seems to be either a lack in documents (1870-ish) or name spelling issues. Would it be best to just get a dna test to figure this out?
It could definitely help especially because you could find relatives that know more info than you about family members
Which DNA test site is the best? My grandmother never knew her father. What's the best site to use?
Hi,
I want to do something similar.
Which Database can you recommend?
Thanks in advance.
GeneaVlogger How long did it take after you downloaded your DNA to MyHeritage to get your results back?
Hi Jarret! so what is your ''Haplogroup", did you do that test?
I'm waiting and excited also dying from waiting because I'm so excited!
Which one is the best one my heritage or ancestry dna
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!
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!!!
@@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.
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
.
i took a dna test a year ago. Its interesting to see where you come from. I'm from sweden and am half dutch so unsurprisigly most of my dna showed up as scandinavian and north-west european but i did not know that i had eastern european dna aswell and have distant relatives in the US!
I have Uploaded my Ancestry DNA to FamilytreeDNA and got 20% Italian peninsula but ancestry DNA showed me nothing on Italian which one is more correct?
Very informative pretty cool stuff.
Wow... fascinating stuff!
I got an ad for CRI genetics on your video. Have you ever heard of/used them? I am researching which dna test I should take to research my ancestors.
In you're opinion, which DNA company is more accurate when it comes to results?
Hey bro really nice channel. I would like to make a dna test to my grandpa, because he's curious of his ancestory. He doesn't know even his grandfathers(they died young, working hard on the land in the times of feudal Poland
). He suspects belonging to one ethnic group and wants to confirm it
. What company would you recommend to finding that out? I don't want it to be expensive neither. Thank you for your help
Those are portuguese names 100% (and the last name Castro is more common in the nothern region such as Porto)
They could be Galician too, but that is basically Portuguese though.
@@marcer451 The way they are written are clearly Portuguese, especially Nunes Vaz
I found it weird that it picked up Northern African Sephardic ancestry when the names are clearly Portuguese and I also think Jarrett's Sephardic branches come from the Netherlands which is known for its community of Portuguese Sephardic Jews.
Just found your channel, what do you think about my true ancestry? I uploaded my raw DNA from ancestry and found out I have ancestors that are ancient Franks, Saxons Visigoths and celts? I just want to know if you tried this site and what you think about it? It matches my results on ancestry cause I am 58% Germanic and 33% scotland 5% Ireland 5% Norway and 7% Sweden
Can you make one where you look at your admixture analysis on Gedmatch? "Ashkenazi" is interesting, but it's a bit unclear what exactly does it mean in terms of the combination of Western Asian, Baltic, etc. Since you're almost wholly Ashkenazi, it would be especially interesting to see how you compare to Ashkenazim in their samples.
I should make a results video and let you react, I am a mega mixed bag lol
Just came across your site. If I have no family member that has tested and neither have what’s the best company to use? Do you have a video discussing this?
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!
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.
I would love to watch the video on how you figured out those people that turned out to be cousins, but when I looked at all your videos, I couldn't figure out what video you may have been referring to.
I have a few of them, so I'll just list them here. Word of warning...they include some of my early videos that are a bit different.

@@GeneaVlogger Thanks so much!
This is incredible
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?
This was interesting, I'm waiting for my Heritage DNA kit. I'm curious to see what my results will be. I did Family Tree a couple of years ago, and then Ancestry last year. My results from Ancestry had a little more results, and were a little different.
years ago i took the ftdna and ancestry tests, but only recently have become interested in learning more. the results from the two tests are very different. very different. and i don't understand why...
What do you think about blood type as it relates to human variation-racially- of course?
This is a question that is outside of my expertise, especially since I have never studied anything about blood-type outside of science class in high school.
Do you know what the database size is for Family Tree DNA? Apparently they do not give that number out (?)
Rewatching this video and I realized that with how much you like the relatives aspect of DNA testing over Admixture, maybe you would enjoy reacting to Melanie Murphy's video on her DNA testing? She really focuses on the aspect of connecting with people and family over ad mixture (don't know how to spell that haha)
Thank you for the suggestion! Never heard of her before, but I found the video and added it to the list!
@@GeneaVlogger you're very welcome! She doesn't do a genealogical tree, but she actually looks through cousins etc
can this test automatically say if you have jewish roots or is it an extra option to do or to pay? or is it standard?
I wish I can go so far back… I only can go as far as my greatgrand-maternal.. on my dad’s side just the grandparents. However, my ancestry shows Im mostly Portuguese, Spanish, Italian & Greek (in that order, Which was a surprise to me. I thought I was just Spanish & African. Im also 14.8% Native American, so that was really surprising to me also. Wish I had access to more ancestral info 😕 Thanks for sharing.. Very interesting.
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?
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.
@@GeneaVlogger ok that makes sense. Also, I noticed that many people that took this test, especially black Americans, received 1.2% South Asian Indian in their results. Could this be a flaw? I’ve heard of Native American ancestry in my family, but not South Asian Indian.
i used to do a lot of genealogy been raised in the Mormon church everyone is obsessed with it it also means i get free access to site like ancestry and a few others as they pay a subscription the Churches genealogical library so i know my family tree very well the man groups in my family tree are from al over the UK, eastern Europe, Jewish and Indian sub continent. but this DNA test thing sounds interesting maybe i should do one.
I took one look at you and figured you were Scottish. My husband is not Jewish but he has a bit of Ashkenazi blood from Poland.
what dna test did you take?
wait, is Corsica within the italian peninsula area on purpose (and Sardinia is itself a different area) or did they mistake it for Sardinia??
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?
Intermarriage between ancient Sephardic and Ashkenazi communities?
really cool see results that some may say is mellow but actually is not common to see someone having a really concentrated area instead of so many random places.
Great video
Which DNA “tracker” do you recommend?
The Mizrahi Jewish comes through Spain, people on my family tree came to Spain and southern France from Iraq between the 8th and 12th centeries.
I also have found three Italian family trees on my dad's side back in the northern area but he didn't test out any Italian? would that be the Ashkenazi side?
I met an Italian last name American long ago with red hair. It is paired with a pale skin. They might be recessive genes but does any other family member have your red hair and could it come from the small amount of DNA from Italy? My Italian grandmother's first Italian American husband also had that red hair and pale complexion.
Wish one will you recommend best 23 or ancestry??
I am 91% British Isles; 🏴, 🏴, 🏴, 🇮🇲, 🇮🇪, Celtic as hell. Blonde hair, green eyes. But YOU look way more Celtic than me. Crazy. Not a drop of it in your blood. The other 9% is German and Nordic. Love these DNA tests and collecting my dead relatives. It’s a treasure hunt.
@Mal weston 🤣
Pale skin and red hair occurs a lot in the Atlas Mountain region of north west Africa, and in the Levant, and thus man has a lot of Sephardic roots, so that checks out! He looks very Moroccan to me, and there are Moroccan celebrities who look just like him. He doesn’t look Celtic at all.
interesting!
i did family tree dna back in 2019 but i cant get the map like you in 7:00
can you help me? thanks
edit: i did the big Y test
Did you do a video when you uploaded your raw dna to Gedmatch? 🙂
Can you answer a question for me? I'm a African American female from the Southern United States I have documented English ancestry as most Southern African Americans will have English/Irish ancestry, what I would like to know why Familytree DNA 3.0 shows my only European as Eastern European Slavic Russian? All the other tests companies do show English and Irish.
It could be a mix of things but is most likely due to different studies each website uses and different ways they define each population group. The best way to figure it out is to do the actual genealogy, although for someone with African American ancestry that will be very difficult to name your European ancestor.
@@GeneaVlogger On one branch of my family I have been able to trace my great grandfather father who was a slave owner then his family back to 1620 England. I just think it's very odd that FTNA 3.0 reports my European is entirely Russian. Ancestrydna says English Northwest European, Norway, Ireland and Northern Italy. 23andme is similar English & Irish, Broadly Northwestern Europe and a tiny percent Southern European no Eastern European on either the other sites.
I find FamilyTreeDNA to have wierd results. It's the only company in which I have a British part (10% which is quite high). I have 0% British in any other company. However I don't have a Scandinavian percentage in FamilyTreeDNA, when I have around 6% in MyHeritage and other test.
I think it's interesting how our ancestors got to various areas. I sometimes wonder what they were doing in their lives for them to roam around. I would imagine a LOT of reasons why they did.
Well for Americans it’s mainly because loads of Europeans moved there from each country and were suddenly all together so mixed a lot more
Famines, wars, persecution, then and now main reasons for relocating.
@@Odo55 pretty sure that my Irish ancestors came over because of the Irish Revolution, @1865.
Besides the haplotype for the Priesthood class (Tribe of Levi) are there any other haplotypes for the tribes of ancient Israel?
E-m123 J1
My first thought was Irish or Jewish. By the way, great family tree. I'm still working on it.
My mom got 12 percent sephardic jew on Family Tree but Myheritage doesn't show that. Why?
You look alot like the brother of my Palestinian friend, similar facial features and he’s also a ginger :)
A shit ton of Palestinians have Jewish ancestry
Have you broken down your Ashkenazi DNA in more detail? What was 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. It may work with most Western DNAs, but I don't think they can give a reliable result for people like me who come from Iran.
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
Various of the names : nunes vaz, dias, pimentel, lopes, lima come from Portugal. You find vaz and dias families in Algarve, south of Portugal.
Magnifique l’Algarve vivement la fin du covid que je puisse y aller! 😉
How far back is the most the DNA matches can be related from ?
Seems to be 18th century.
How does your Sephardic ancestry show up on 23andme?
I'm of partial Ashkenazi descent so I find this really interesting because when I was younger I didn't understand why my mom said that we are Jewish, not Russian. Now I understand what my ethnicity is and how Judaism is more than just a religion. I found it interesting that DNA tests can pick up that whether Jews are ashkenazi, sephardi, or mizrahi etc. I like how you said in one test for Balkan you got actual Eastern European DNA not just DNA from Jews who lived in Eastern Europe because most people don't understand that we are different than non-Jews from the same countries.
I took 3. Ancestry and 23 and me were almost the same. Family tree wasn't even close, completely different. I found bio family thru the 1st two and they were right on, down to the cities bio families came from
What were your results?
I did my first test with Family Tree 2 yrs ago and found a first cousin I never knew I had. I finally decided to communicate last year. I retested with Ancestry too last year, and my cousin was there too as a close family match.
I want to do this! But my concern is where does my DNA end up? Who has access to my DNA? What if my DNA ends up in the wrong hands?
did they mix the results such as giving your results as your mom ... or an error on their part.
When you say "it wont show much German" when you was referring to Ashkenazi Jewish.. is that because they or some groups predominately only mixed with other Ashkenazi?
"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."
This is a lie there is no proof of this
@@ernestocalderon3453 He is pretty much correct. The Ashkenazi are a little bit more European than Italkim or Sephardic because of extra 5% to 15% Northern European.
Fascinating
@@ernestocalderon3453 lol there is a proof of that most of the christian saints that were jews peter for exemple were romans jews or italkim
For me is simple: Family Tree DNA DOES NOT SELL YOUR DNA with 3rd parties.
So for me there is only ONE company that provides this service.
Which haplogroup is here named as "Ashkenazi"? Is this even a maternal test mtdna test or just autosomal test?
I did my husband's DNA on Ancestry and then uploaded it to the other main sites. MyHeritage's ethnicity values are completely different to Ancestry and FTDNA. Living DNA showed 100% English.... Ancestry: 85% Eng & NW Euro, 6% Wales, 4% Norw/Scandi, 3% Scot and 2% Ire. FTDNA: 54% Eng/Wal/Scot, 29% Central Euro, 16% Norw/Scandi and 1% Sth Euro. However, MyHeritage shows: 6.2% Ir/Sc/Wal, 72.3% Norw/Scandi and 21.5% Ital. Very interesting!
Hi! Brand-new subscriber. Great channel! 👍what us your opinion regarding sites such as My True Ancestry?
Which test is better
Do you have to know the exact names of your ancestors to build an accurate tree? my mum isnt so sure of her mum's great grandparent's name. And my dad's side i dont know much of.
No, you don't need the exact names but the more information you have the better off. Build a tree with what you know and then use genealogy databases to find records on your family to help confirm and expand your tree. FamilySearch.org is free and many public libraries give free access to Ancestry and other genealogy services that cost money. Of course, if you want to really get the best results you'll want to get memberships to databases like Ancestry.
Im 3rd generation Dutch-American, my great-great-great grandparents came from the Netherlands 😀
The Italian peninsula could be a Roman connection. In my Swiss Anabaptist line we have been tracing a male ancestor with a J ydna. And recently they found a Roman Arena in Switzerland just outside of Italy. J-M172 FTDNA notation. I show up with a small amount of Italian Peninsula also and have no known Italian ancestors.
Hey there, I'm curious if you have tried to see if you can apply for an European citizenship through your Ancestry and if you have some experience with that? Jewish people have multiple opportunities like that, Portugal being one of them. Other countries that give citizenship are Italy and Eastern European countries
Hi Jarrett. Great stuff. Re: Yr Sefardi ancestry -- I see that your family names are spelled Lopes, Robles, etc. My hunch is that yr family is from Portugal as an "s" on the end of the last name is the Portuguese spelling and not the Spanish spelling. Anyway -- I have a question, I heard that the most accurate DNA test out there is in fact 23&me and MyHeritage got a 'thumbs down' from many people. Your thoughts? PS: I tested with 23&me.
Yes, many of my Sephardi families come from Portugal, although before Portugal it is possible they were in Spain. As for the most 'accurate DNA test', I don't really buy into any of it either way because they all have different precision and recall for each population group anyway. My thoughts are the accuracy argument is pointless as they are all equally good at showing genetic matches and that is the most useful tool of the DNA test.
@@GeneaVlogger Thanks. And re: Portugal -- I have heard on a number of occasions that many Portuguese people today (perhaps up to half of the population) have some Jewish DNA in their bloodstreams, even to a point where many are in haplogroups common to Jews/Arabs/Mediterraneans, i.e.: Haplogroups J1, J2, etc..
You can upload to myheritage and family tree dna because jewish wise they test for more different specific jewish then 23andme which test for Ashkenazi even some of it might be actually sephardic or mizrahi because of their identical middle eastern dna that they have in common
What is your genetic code from Family Tree DNA?
MyHeritage do not gives it, but family Tree does.
I showed Sephardic about 8 percent on family tree Dna now they took it away! Than before the new change my father did not show Sephardic but now he does and mine is gone!! This really frustrates me!!
