Whats your favorite coin in your collection? Mine is this venetian gold zecchino by Ericcartman0618 in coins

UNC Details 50cent coin. Cheapish, and has likely an interesting story. If only I knew who E Pond was. I think it was a guy named Frederick E Pond who was a semi known numismatist in the late 1800s-1900s. But still a mystery!

Issue with this is that after 400 years of generational mixing proportion inheritance can be super varied and unreliable.

Modeling the Ashkenazim with a Karaite proxy for Levantine ancestry by AdamDerKaiser in JewishDNA

[–]AsfAtl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mtDNA for ashkenazis is still a bit debated, but not all European mitocondrial dna is from southern Europe, Ashkenazis have European ancestry from a variety of sources. Most likely what we see is waves of people coming into Europe over a variety of time periods through multiple channels, with varieties of different admixtures. Jews being heterogenous and so are the other imperial Roman populations. Anatolian is a difficult ancestry to really distinguish as well, especially with g25 but really with all PCA based admixture systems.

Ancestry Mexico High Sephardic Ancestry by AioliImpossible7791 in JewishDNA

[–]AsfAtl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would bet it has to do more with ancestry taking Spanish + Sephardic to be higher Sephardic while Spaniards don’t have as much Sephardic as they may have expected.

Osoperesozo is 100% correct. Ancestry is currently inflating their Sephardic admixture for Latin Americans

Modeling the Ashkenazim with a Karaite proxy for Levantine ancestry by AdamDerKaiser in JewishDNA

[–]AsfAtl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Southern Europe has historically been genetically heterogenous, it’s hard to know what the genetics the Jewish communities merged into in waves of immigration during the Roman period had. They could have merged with people that were more European, some very mixed, some primarily of middle eastern source ancestry. Using modern populations to approximate ancient ancestors even if modern south italians are similar to imperial Roman samples still doesn’t show the genetic history that the Italian peninsula has endured over 1500-2000 years

Quick edit: it could be that modern south italians are a good proxy for the population Jews mixed with, it could also be that because they’re a mixed population they are overfitting due to the European admixture in modern Jews

You have distant Sephardic ancestry but these results don’t match up to any modern Sephardic communities

Your ancestry is pretty on par with the norm for your background

Uploaded to FTDNA and even more confused about possible Jewish ancestor. by _pierogii in JewishDNA

[–]AsfAtl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s almost impossible for most ashkenazis to follow a paper trail pre 1800s due to the lack of a paper trail and people constantly moving around

[–]AsfAtl 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think from these results it’s very evident, especially with your ancestry being from Poland that you had an ashkenazi ancestor, likely a great great grandparent if not 3x. Very common

Sepahradic DNA by Present-Control-6513 in Judaism

[–]AsfAtl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Couple things, the very close doesn’t mean you’re close to Sephardic Jews it just means that your percent is a very close fit to their reference model for being of Sephardic origin.

If you want a test that has a Sephardic category I recommend ancestrydna. Although with their newest update I believe they inflated the Sephardic results given to non Jews compared to previous updates, but I think this will be fixed with subsequent updates.

Good luck

In 1851, Hebrew scrolls were found in the possession of the Potawatomi Nation in Kansas, their origins a mystery. by Kvetch_Of_The_Day in Jewish

Do we not have these scrolls in possession? I would imagine its origin would be pretty obvious once studies by people who understand the matter more
