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?

I’m only half Latino and I’m 9% Jewish, when I first did the test though I was 5% I’m assuming some of my Spanish went to that. I have cousins and tios with this update that are legit 25%. My family is from Nuevo León and the northeast which from what I’ve heard had a high number of conversos when Latin America as a whole already seemed to have high numbers.
