@@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.

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 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!

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 .

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

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?

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.

@CDPF5

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.

My first thought was Irish or Jewish. By the way, great family tree. I'm still working on it.

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 Jarret! so what is your ''Haplogroup", did you do that test?

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.

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.

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 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.

"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."

Did you do a video when you uploaded your raw dna to Gedmatch? 🙂

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.

@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.🙋😀

Intermarriage between ancient Sephardic and Ashkenazi communities?

Fascinating many sites are still updating.

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?

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! I don’t know anything about this subject either but it’s fascinating

Indian ancestry in Southern and Eastern Europe is a marker from Roma gypsy populations. Roma people are from Rajistan India👍🏾

Little known fact historically in Spain Jews were commonly associated with red hair. It was considered a Jewish trait.

Judas was always portayed as a redhead. So it became a thing for gentiles to think that Jews often had red hair. It was considered a negative thing

Hello, I was led to your video watching an Ethiopian Vlogger's DNA result which she shared on YT, and where you gave your input about the subscriber's probable Jewish ancestry to your subscribers. I am of Somali/Yemeni Hadrami descent and I would love to hear your thoughts and perhaps you can research and educate us about the Somali Jewish community noted in Somali history called Yibir in Somalia. They have been persecuted throughout Somalia's history. Please, consider researching The Yibir of Somalia. Salaam.

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

The Ashkenazi Jewish genetic Marker is actually Middle Eastern/Levantine.

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.

How is anyone 99% of anything? Christ, that's dedication to the group.

Do you know what the database size is for Family Tree DNA? Apparently they do not give that number out (?)

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.

Doesn’t always mean there’s Irish. It’s from a mutation in the MC1R gene.

@@sukie584 Yes. Red hair seems to be connected to Celtic heritage so there is some in other parts of Europe as well.

Hmmm. I'm working on our ancestry and Goldenbergs are on my father's maternal side. Also from the same area (Kolomyia Ukraine and then Suceava Romania).

Cool! How long has your family been in the US?

Earliest ancestors arrive in the late 1870s (still haven't confirmed an exact year), majority arrived in the 1880s, and the latest arrived in 1904.

Now that’s what you call confusion.

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?

Just because someone has red hair that doesn't mean that they are Irish or Scottish.. Some Germans have red hair some Scandinavian people are redheads some Eastern Europeans are redheads .. The Celts traveled everywhere even in Italy and Eastern Europe

You are a very intelligent individual! Maybe you can become a genealogist. 😊

Out of curiosity, why does your father go by 'Ross'? That switch looked interesting.

He worked as an actor and comedian in LA for many decades, so he changed his last name to Ross (which is his mother's maiden name).
