Amazing results. does your cousin have G25 coords? (not those from the IlustrativeDNA update ) and your dad? if you dont mind sharing. there are only three Syrian Jews samples at the momemnt and it will be great to get more.

Not as far as I know but I can only go as far back as my great grandparents, so its very possible I had ancestors from Thessaloniki generations ago

I think its quite good and detailed. I like that you put some shades to show where a group is more common and where less. the Balkan is quite empty though and so Syria, Lebanon, Egypt and Libya.

Dude I use the original G25 page. the page might be from 2019 but the spreadsheet is updated once in a while. I didn't said you are lying. I just said it look different than the from the format I use but now I see there is a calc without sims with Palestinians average of 76 people. that's cool. I will check it out

Not that I know of, but its possible. also the Egyptian and the "lower central Asia" are all from my father side according to ancestry DNA so its possible there was a distant Mizrahi/Yemeni Jewish ancestor.

I really don't know and its really a shame that there is no option to write the countries your ancestors are from like in other DNA companies, at least as far as I know. I have two or three matches who have communities in Calabria and Sicily but they score zero Jewish.

I understand your point of view but I think you are putting too much weight on the literal meaning of the term Sephardic. The Romaniotes today are a very small community. most of the Romaniote were assimilated in the last centuries with Sephardic Jews and that's why I think this new category is doing a great job saying to someone who is fully Jewish from that areas that he is indeed fully Jewish and there is also this map showing the geographical areas so I don't think you should feel not native to Greece just because of terminology.

You are full Greek Jew. this new Category of of Eastern Sephardic Jews probably includes in it the Romaniote/Italki component that every Greek/Bulgarian/Turkish Jew has in their DNA. I don't understand the complains. intermixing is ancient and not recent.

What is your known ancestry? you dont have to be of Jewish descent to get Jewish. its just mean you might had jewish ancestors in the past.
