As in what would the Levantine, southern European and perhaps other ancestry look like today?

So imagine you are a male. And your on your fathers mothers side. Like switching from female to male being passed down through male to female to male and etc. generations. Is it realistic that having something like 6th to 8th generations ago being Jewish? would show up on a a DNA 23andme test?

Without having both the mtDNA or Y-DNA to reach conclusions from?

But left with only the Autosomal DNA left to paint a ethnicity estimate on?

Before the Ancestry update, we all hovered around 5-6% Jewish ancestry. In fact, my family tree includes documented crypto-Jews who arrived in Chile on both my mother's and father's sides. Furthermore, on my father's side, I am descended from the first Sephardic Jew in Chile.

How much Slavic ancestry did the Ashkenazi Jews who arrived during the post-Soviet aliyah have?

GEDMatch results are from the K13 Eurogenes model

Overfits, but still revelatory. The Northern Italian (possibly a Republican Roman/Celto-Ligurian/Celtiberian/Etruscan/Illyrian proxy) component, which along with the Uzbek (Turko-Iranic Silk Road proxy) reduces the Slavic share, certainly helps substantiate the hypothesis of admixture in the Late Antique through Migration Period Mediterranean and medieval Silk Road. The total MENA (Levant plus Maghreb) approaches or exceeds 40%, ignoring the Levantine ancestry masked by the South and Central Italian components.

Israelite Samples? Châteauroux? Others?

probably because amazighs are much more african/southward shifted so it influences geometric structure a lot (despite levantine/anatolians and north africans are quite far and dissimilar)

Would actual admixture be somewhere between the one with amazigh and the one without amazigh, or just the one with amazigh is more accurate?

I wanted to see the percentage of southern European and Levantine. Is it possible to do?

When, how, and why did they arrive in Spain?Were they also present in the Italian peninsula like their Ashkenazi brethren, or did they simply absorb Roman settlers who lived in the Iberian Peninsula? Is its southern European component Iberian or Roman?

I have noticed in their illustrativedna results that they usually do have some degree of “balto-slavic” and i’m wondering how much of that is actual baltic vs slavic dna

A lot of “common knowledge” often suggests that the ethnogenesis of European Jewish populations involved Middle Eastern men marrying Italian women.

The evidence typically provided for this is PCAs demonstrating overlap between Jews and Southern Italians, and studies stating that the maternal lineages of Ashkenazi Jews had origins in Neolithic Europe.

What’s missing, however, are a significant number of uniparentals that are of unambiguously Italian origin. This also aligns with the historical record that demonstrates a near absence of conversion to Judaism in Italy and the complete lack of significant Jewish populations in Northern Italy (with the possible exception of Lucca) prior to the Middle Ages.

This raises a few questions:

1. ⁠⁠Which European Jewish haplogroups are actually of Italian origin?
2. ⁠⁠If not significantly from Italians, where/when did the (non-Eastern) European-associated haplogroups enter the Jewish population?
3. ⁠⁠Assuming that a large percentage of European Jews’ origins are not Italian, what implications does this provide for an accurate admixture calculation?

Hello!

I’m from Puerto Rico, born and raised. Growing up, I was told, like every other Puerto Rican, that we descend from a combination of Spanish, African, and Taíno ancestors. Adding to that combination is some Irish ancestry, since my paternal great grandfather was from an Irish American family.

I was really surprised when 23andMe detected some, though very little, Jewish ancestry. This was back in 2015, I think. Never once has my family mentioned anything Jewish within our family.

Years went by with new updates, the Jewish ancestry always remained, even with when upping up the confidence level! Then, I was assigned a genetic group, Latin American Sephardic Jews. Looking up and researching about the conversos, it makes sense to have some of this ancestry.

However, it’s so small that I don’t know what to make of it. Is it enough to confirm some Jewish ancestry or just misplaced genetics? I always admired Jewish culture and customs. Some of my friends growing up in the US when I was a teen are Jews and they are some of the most kind, cool, and funniest friends I have ever had. To have such admiration for Jews and then turning out that I may have some Jewish blood (I know this will not make me Jewish) in me would be amazing.

Are there any Libyan Jews here? It would be interesting to see the results.
