on MDLP World im 10.5% Jew_Kurd and 8% Ajv52, i dont know what that exactly means but i think Aj could stand for Ashkenazi Jew. I think thats on PC 2. I didnt went through all calculators. Can you help. Thanks

That's a good question because many would think Jtest is the definitive Jewish calculator but it may not be.
I think that between 23andMe, K36 (near east populations) and Jtest/Eutest in conjunction with your personal history is the best gauge.

i need to do K36. well Jtest doesnt make me jewish i think. It gives me only 4% jewish. that is what most others score too who dont have any jewish ancestry.

Yes, I think 4% is average, at least for the members who post here. Mine is 24% If I remember, which guarantees me as Ashkenazi.

You'll get your results a lot faster via GEDmatch than with Dodecad and R.

I did Eurogenes K36 right now. Can you help me interpret my results in light of jewish ancestry? There is no jewish population but you said it is good.

I highlighted in red the ones that would have the Jewish if any, but Jews weren't used in the reference populations - these groups were. Actually, the Arabian count used Jews.
