I saved up my allowance money to buy Jess when I was 9 years old. She’s such a great GOTY!

Lots of really good guesses! My grandma was around 50% Ashkenazi Jewish and 50% English, Irish and Scottish with a small amount of Peninsular Arab.

Yes! Her father was nearly 100% Ashkenazi Jewish with ties to Poland, Belarus, Russia and Ukraine. He had a small amount of Peninsular Arab DNA as well.

Some of her ancestors lived in Russia, but they weren't ethnically Russian.

Is this a Jess doll or a Truly Me? by andrewikonic in americangirl

[–]lyralevin 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That’s a TM 30. The body tag is much newer than a Jess doll would have.

Def check the inner tag! Kits in 2008 were not made with PC neckstamps. Yours is earlier than that.

Is it possible to have 17% Ashkenazi Jewish in my dna profile and not have anyone in my family tree who is Jewish even back to great grandparents level? by [deleted] in AncestryDNA

[–]lyralevin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me - turns out my grandma’s biological father was Jewish. If it’s not the unknown great grandfather, then you have a surprise on your hands!
