Very Levantine individual.

[paksaltopam]

Very Levantine individual.

He definitely is. He looks like he could fit in around there...Well I guess he did fit in around there. He only moved here from Israel when he was like 16.

[Sikeliot]

South Italian is his first "true" European match and it's quite far down. I am surprised.

[Sikeliot]

You should test your grandfather. Do you have your mom's GEDmatch results?

[Mortimer]

Could you send me your mom's Gedmatch ID? I have seen your grandmothers' results. Your mom is 3/4 Sicilian from Trapani and 1/4 Campanian right?

[paksaltopam]

Do you know his 23andMe results?

No I did it through ancestry

[Longbowman]

No I did it through ancestry

What're those results, then?

I'm significantly Sephardic but not enough to plot as close to the Levant as your sister's fiance seems to. Plus Sephardics tend to be slightly more European than Cypriots. Are you sure he's pure?

Italian Jew, as in, Italqim? So not 'Spanish Jewish?' Ethnically we're different groups.

I took 23andme but extrapolating from what I know my results would be, I believe, if I were a full SJ, something like

35% MENA (probably 20% NA, 15% ME), 65% European of which 10-12% AJ, 3-4% Iberian and the rest just Southern European. Though originally it came up as more Italian and Iberian, they edited it down recently.
