In your case it would be consistent with having a grandmother who was 1/4 Ashkenazi.Dr Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05774555636055110063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5415306683169000572.post-65396540058840556022017-06-01T19:19:36.838-07:002017-06-01T19:19:36.838-07:00My grandmother's father was a Gamba(with a [po...My grandmother's father was a Gamba(with a [possible Strauss relation, perhaps swiss or Austrian jewish ). Family oral tradition deems her father ( the father of my grandmother) to be partly jewish maternally but with an Italian father with distant Spanish connections. I tried My heritage so if this great great grandmother was Ashkenazi jewish I have could have inherited around 5 % AJ. infact I have 6.3 % AJ ethnicity According to Myheritage so with this the amount it gave me I don't know if its just noise or real. Your hypothesis could be on the button. All I know is that I've inherited far more Northern European dna ,57% in fact of irish, Scottish and welsh(my mother being irish scots so like you say some of my four great grandparents from Scotland and Ireland have pushed up my percentage there whereas if I had siblings they might have had less of the Scottish and more of the italian) I also know my Italian side is a mix of Sardinian9 Neolithic Italian), Italian, very small amount of Spanish(150 years ago part of the family emigrated to Spain),small amount of Baltic (goths invaded north italy) and Ashkenazi jewish (possibly from my grandmother who may have been half or a quarter AJ)<br /><br />What do you think? Is there enough AJ -6.3 from My heritage to conclude that I am partly Jewish?<br />Mountainrebels Italian Versionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00267567783327685548noreply@blogger.com
