    Default What Ashkenazi Jewish group is genetically the most European and Middle Eastern?

    Since Ashkenazi Jews from every European country are genetically slightly different, what Ashkenazi Jewish group have the highest amount of European ancestry and what Ashkenazi group have the highest amount of Middle Eastern ancestry (on average)?

    And German Jews would be probably the most Middle Eastern I assume since Eastern Ashkenazis have small East Euro component

    My ancestors are all from the Russian Empire. Everyone tested in my family is more MENA than average. Russian Empire is a massive region. If anything, from what I've seen, it's Ukrainian Jews.

    Ukrainian Jews have pretty high percentage of light eyes and hair
    Maybe they are, but I am still not sure.

    Mind you, "Ashkenazi_Russia" is a meaningless category, since Jews weren't allowed to live in Russia till the Revolution, so I have no clue who the individual references are. What I did here is also very rough, since some of the ordering is due to different Mesopotamian and East Asian affinities.

    So basically Russian Jews are genetically the most European and German Jews are the most MENA?
