My guess would be Ashkanazi but Sephardic could make sense too as they seem more Mediterranean based

Autosomally, Ashkenazi in general, but in other metrics/ways of analyzing DNA (IBD, similarity in Y-DNA or mt-DNA), I'm less sure.

Fairly the same. Maybe a bit more towards Ashkenazim.
I am a Sephardi and I plot right on Sicily (which is kind of surprising when you look at the amount of Berber DNA than should "Down Shift me" I guess I have enough European DNA to make up for it.
