She is full sister of mine (same mom and dad). My elder sister who I opened a classification thread of her long ago.

You can compare her results with mine:

Marginally less Caucasoid than you, right?

Nice!

Marginally less Caucasoid than you, right?

I don't know why you say that.

She is like 88% caucasoid (most of it European), 8% Amerindian and 4% SSA, just like me.

The difference between her results and mine is in the distribution of the different components.

She scored some "jew" but you didn't, ritht?

I did. 5%.

I don't know where the hell that comes from.

It's rare, yes...
Some friends of mine from Monterrey Mexico scored even more, around 12 to 16%.
But in your case and your sister's I assume it could be really "italian"...

I see a lot of people with Latin American ancestry having small amounts of "Jewish DNA" show up in their results. I suspect it has to do with the history of "crypto-jews" or "conversos" in the Iberian Peninsula. Essentially during medieval times, there were intense attempts in Spain to forcibly convert Jewish people to Christianity and to heavily persecute those who tried to hold to their old faith.

As a result, I think a lot of Jewish people genuinely assimilated with the gentile population. Perhaps it was easier for former Jews to obscure their origins by fleeing to the New World? Or maybe modern populations in Iberia have similar admixture, though I've never heard anyone mention that before.
