It's an interesting thought. Would they be more southern/central or eastern European?

They'd probably be similar to Sicilians, only with a little more Eastern European heritage, and less Western European.

Southern Europe and MENA, with some Eastern European input.

Any guess on the percentages? I would say about 30% MENA, and maybe 50% Southern Euro with the rest being Eastern and some French & German.

I would say they would get a lot of East European as well.

10-15 percent max for most. A few individuals could get maybe 25 percent

There was a study which modelled Ashkenazim as ~50% "Middle Eastern" 37.5% "Southern European" and 12.5% "Northern European."

So they'd probably score similar to this on 23andme and other genetic tests.

more like 45-55% MENA, depending on the jew, and the rest italian with maybe 3-5% Eastern European.

No, it's 10 - 15% East Euro.

I think it really depends on where they live. Ones in Eastern Europe probably have more of that since they did intermarry with the host population to an extent. then again, they're all somewhat inbred and close to each other
