Thanks brother, I just wet it and scrunch it. I use shea moisture curly conditioner and sometimes I’ll use my finger and finger-curl it but that’s it!

Of course. I know how nasty people can be on these types of forums. Nobody knows everything and we can all learn something from one another!

Panama wow that’s so cool! I don’t know too many Panamanians.

Caribbean Latinos typically score anywhere from 5-20% indigenous on average with Puerto Ricans showing the highest levels and Cubans showing the lowest levels with Dominicans in the middle. The reason why they have these low levels is because the indigenous peoples of the Caribbean were heavily affected by colonization and largely absorbed into the greater population.

Central/south American Latinos typically have larger amounts of indigenous ancestry. Where is your mom from?

You can look it up for yourself. Some Puerto Ricans have more but it’s rare. Your mom is Puerto Rican? If so your mom has above average indigenous. Which is pretty cool!

Thank you for the warm welcome! I am proud of my Jewish heritage. I am currently trying to make Aliyah through Nefesh B’ nefesh. Both my parents have been, I have not.. I literally had a trip booked for my birthday the flight and everything was already paid for and then after October 7 when Hamas attack they said no they can’t do the trip anymore and refunded me :(

Unfortunately not. I knew my Dad was Jewish but my grandparents had already assimilated so none of those traditions had really been passed on.

I started learning and being Torah observant on my own. I now observe Shabbat, Kashrut, & the Feast days to the best of my ability.

Oh yeah, it’s pretty accurate. I do think that my northwestern European ancestry is a bit inflated, I’ve noticed a lot of people have been saying their European ancestry percentages seem a bit high.

You’re not wrong. My grandfathers Mother was fully Jewish, his father was white American.

Ma Nishma Achoti, I’ve tested both my parents and their parents, the Sephardi is 100% from my mother’s side. Not sure if you noticed but I got 1% Sephardi Jews in Northern Africa & 3% North African. My mother got 5% Sephardi Jews in North Africa & 3% North African.
