This result is very interesting, I can't post the face of the person, but his look reminds me of that of Neymar, somewhat, he is from the states of Paraná and São Paulo:

This is close to what I anticipate the average Brazilian in my town to score if they were tested.

Composition results of a Brazilian who has more recent Jewish ancestry (I have not managed to find which is the Brazilian state she was born in):

almost all of them have ashkenaz ancestry and north african/middle eastern, this combination usually points to Sephardi and i remember reading that up to 30% of latin americans have Sephardi ancestry.

Yes, but the last one I posted has recent Ashkenazi ancestry though. So far, from what I have seen, New Christian input is higher on average in Mexico.

Not really true, a lot of them don't even have over 90 percent European...

No, it is true, really. Out of 25 results posted here, 15 were in the range of white Americans. 11 were above 90% and the other 4 ranged between 84-89% all of which are still in the range for white Americans. So 15 out of 25 means the majority of Brazilian results posted here are similar to white Americans. Right?

It would be extremely rare for a White American to score less than 90 percent European, that's definitely not really in the range for White Americans. In fact The majority of White Americans score 98 percent European or higher.

White Americans can score in the late 80's. It may be more common to be 90%+, but certainly not impossible, therefore within the range. There are some that score less than 90%+, I've seen it myself. And I disagree that most score 98% or higher, I've seen more that were less than 98% in most of the ones I've seen from several different DNA databases. But I understand you disagree, but can you provide proof of what you said?

Actually a little less than half of them had Ashkenazi show up, the number of them being 14 of out of 25 of the results posted here. But out of that 14, 13 was less than 1%, with the great majority (9 of them) being 1/10th of 1% (0.1%). One was less than 0.1%, nine were 0.1%, two were 0.2, two were 0.3, one was 0.4, one was 0.8% and one actually had significant enough Jewish ancestry to be considered part Jewish and that was 21.2%. Also, less than 1%, especially 1/10th of 1% is in the margin of error, and could possibly be statistical noise instead of actual Jewish ancestry.

As for North African ancestry, 25 out of 25 had North African ancestry. Among those 25, the majority scoring a single percentage scored 0.2% (7 of them), more scored this percentage than any other percent. In second came 0.4% (4 of them). A couple scored between 0.5% and 1%, 6 of them scored between 1.1% and 1.8%. Only 2 scored higher than 1.8% and the scores for those two were 4.1% and 4.6%. Out of the 25, most of them scored less than 1% North African.

Do you have a source for that number?
