    Thanks to DNA testing I found out I have a half-sister that was adopted shortly after birth. My father didn't know about her, no one in my family did until last year.

      It’s very common a lot of people have Jewish ancestry and don’t know it or other ancestry and have no idea eg Jews after the war left the faith and just became American when they went to live in other parts of the world and hid that fact so now people are finding out their roots/routes via dna 🧬

I am the family historian per say so I have done a family tree and have placed DNA matches into my family tree. I also found some interesting stuff out, I found my maternal grandfather's family and I was able to get a hold of a Great-Aunt who sent me photos of my Grandfather as I never met my grandfather as he died way before i was born.

    As I understand it, the Ashkenazi Jewish people left the Middle East around 600 years after Christ. They migrated across eastern Europe, ending up mostly
    in Hungary, Poland, etc. Many had red hair, and many were lactose intolerant. I discovered I am part of this ethnicity.

    I would love to know more about my family and see where in Ireland they come from, I know tiny bits, it wasn’t really spoken about, I would also love to know about my own DNA to me it’s fascinating. My dad got his parents DNA kits from Ancestry, and his dad is 100% Irish and then is mum is adopted, she found out she’s English, Norwegian and European Jewish and possibly a few others, but the European Jewish part was really interesting and didn’t expect that one at all. My own mums sister did it also and also got 100% Irish meaning my mum and uncle would have the same results. But hearing this I’m now intrigued to know what I am. Mums very proud of her Irish heritage, so giving her daughter an Irish name was part of it lol

    In Spain we have a really big influence of Ashkenazi and Sefardí jews that lived a lot of centuries in Spain so probably your family were Ashkenazi jews that lived in Spain or most likely that converted to Catholicism in order to not get expelled from Spain because the Spanish kings decided in 1492 to expell all the jews from Spain. Or maybe they moved to Spain more recently than that. Anyway probably your Spanish part of your family are the jews ones.

    48% is a significant percentage. That means either your father was most likely fully Jewish or both parents had a Jewish parent. You state that your mother was Spanish. If so, there's a slight chance that she comes from conversos. If your mother's mother was Jewish then that means you are Jewish. Of course, you'll have to do more research.

      It's actually distinctive. It is Jewish that have lived long term in Europe but they still have a lot of Middle Eastern origins and that is why they cluster between Sicilians and Middle Eastern populations. They of course have some European mixture which is why they don't cluster with Middle Eastern populations due to this European admixture which is mostly Northern Italian picked up when they moved to Europe. They have kept their unique genetics due to mostly mixing with other Ashkenazi Jews which is why it is easy to identify them genetically.

    Had a couple friends do the 23 and me test…they are identical twins. Both are adults and both are married so they have different last names. When they got their results the results were not the same, mind you identical twins, and were nowhere near correct. They contacted the company and after several representatives who were basically speechless, the best answer they got was “Um”, a supervisor finally said they “not only use the dna but also the persons last name (surname) to determine their results” one sister asked “so you don’t take into consideration that we are married and the surname is our spouses name not ours?” The supervisor at that point was speechless.
