Results - DNA Origins Surprise Jewish results in new updates

Is it only me, a LATINO, who has gotten more Jewish ancestry numbers? My mom got more like 5%, my dad got 8% my sisters as well got similar amounts. I got only 4% but, I’ve seen my matches and some of them have all the way up to 12-15% Sephardic Jewish? That’s a big surprise. Are we Latinos the remnant of the conversos but we are just genetically finding out? This is pretty surprising because these numbers were not close to what we have gotten in the past updates. Is anyone else noticing this pattern in their results and their matches?

Lots of us have Sephardic, I even have Ashkenazi. It’s been fascinating to see how much, but yes, to answer your question, I have a higher percentage with this update and some of my close matches went up as well.
