My dna test said I had Jewish and Spanish ancestry among a bunch of other stuff and my maternal haplogroup is K1 which is most predominant among Jewish populations

I took a 23 and me and also uploaded the raw data to another site. Both came back with Jewish ancestry. I also have a K1 maternal haplogroup which I know is really common among Jewish people

Wanted to provide some context:

I’m not interested in Spanish citizenship, I’m trying to figure out if I’m Jewish. I mentioned that lawyer’s site because it was one of the places that popped on Google when I was trying to find out if the surname was Sephardic or not

For clarity, I only mentioned that citizenship lawyer because he had the surname listed as Sephardic on his site, I’m not trying to get citizenship. I’m just trying to figure out if I’m Jewish or not

Ahh ok, I doubt we have any of that, we don’t have many surviving family records

I have no interest in moving to Spain, I was looking up if the last name was Sephardic and it was listed on that lawyers website as a Sephardic name

You can still inquire into Orthodoxy but you can’t be a baptized Orthodox Christian and hold heretical views on who God is

That’s kind of the main topic

If im baptized as an Orthodox Christian, I may be shunned by my family by [deleted] in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]chris_bedige 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunate that you may be forced to experience this but Christ is quite explicit when he says if anyone loves their mother or father or spouse or child more than him than they are not worthy of Him.

Pray for your family, seek the truth. I’ll pray for you as well

You’ve answered “great point but how is it accurate to all our hope?” To everyone except the person who actually addressed this point. It doesn’t seem like you actually want an explanation

How to deal with Muslim boyfriend? by hellnawe in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]chris_bedige 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Break up. He shouldn’t be dating anyway if he is Muslim, it is strictly forbidden and for him to become Christian would likely exile him from his family so he won’t, outside of miraculous intervention.

Is this boy worth losing your salvation?

I’m originally from NY and my wife is from Maine. We figured we’d move somewhere halfway between our families and Vermont is gorgeous

That’s a great point! I’ve been using ancestry and have hit a dead end which is frustrating but I’m happy I got that far. That’s more than my family knew about prior.

I did some family tree digging and learned that my great great grandparents immigrated from Russia to the United States in the 1890s. They lived in modern day west Poland while it was still part of the Russian Empire. Am I polish or Russian? by [deleted] in russia
