Arab trying to interpret Jewish and European results

IDK. Unlikely you have recent Jewish heritage.

There were ancient Jewish peasant communities in Shfar'am and Peki'in and a sizable community in Safed. He could easily descend from a convert. Conversion wasn't common, but it did happen. The Montefiore censuses even list a few converts to Judaism, as surprising as that may seem.

Yeah I seem to be quite Euro shifted even more so on my V3 results. My European relatives come up as 4th or 5th cousins so I have my doubts about crusader input but who knows for sure.

Bosnian? Or just recent Christian ancestry?

There are Bosnian Palestinians with the surname Bushnack, Bushnaq or Boshnak and I have I have a Boshnak distant relative. My dads side of the family was also rumored to have been christian before converting to Islam.

I emailed one of my Jewish matches and he said their family immigrated back from Europe to the region in the 15th century and they did mix with the locals.

That's very interesting. I thought about emailing one of my Jewish matches.

I've heard these rumors a couple of times before. Why do so many Muslims conceal their non-Muslim ancestry?
