Am I Jewish?
JTest tells me I'm 5.51% Ashkenazi. But what exactly does this mean, it refers to the pure Jew, eliminating the other errors (Israel's neighbors)? Or can small traces of Arabs, Egyptians, Syrians, etc. enter? Could this gedmatch be calculated only by a special and unique Jewish gene?

You're a Romanian, but you may have a small ashkenazi admixture. As far as I know only 23andme is reliable at picking up ashkenazi jewish admixture, I also heard it's not good at identifying other jews like Sephardic.

It's easy to tell if you check your DNA matches on GEDmatch. Which DNA company did you test yourself at? Check your matches there as well.

Personally I score here 6.77 Ashkenazi. I'm around 1/32 Jewish and I have lots of Jewish DNA matches everywhere.

Copy the values you've got here on GEDmatch like this: yourname,17.94,12.97,14.57, ..... (where you scored 0 like at EAST_ASIAN, write 0.00 there and continue the numbers). When you're done copy the coordinates and paste it there at TARGET: http://vahaduo.genetics.ovh/jTest-vahaduo.htm

This is what I get here:

51.8 Hungarian
37.8 Romanian
4.6 North_Italian

No, thats some paleo-Balkan admixture, similar to Ashkenazi.

I got as same as you in this calculator, but I dont get it in any other.

People have no idea how to use JTest. Better post Eurogenes K13 results, it's clearer there.

What (CYCLES) and what (ADD DIST COL) should I use?

You're a Romanian, but you may have a small ashkenazi admixture. As far as I know only 23andme is reliable at picking up ashkenazi jewish admixture, I also heard it's not good at identifying other jews like Sephardic.

All I used was MyHeritage. I didn't get Ahkenazi.

[Chris596]

What (CYCLES) and what (ADD DIST COL) should I use?

The Cycle rate doesn't really matter, maybe 0.5X or 1X should do fine. At first try with ADC - NO, then 0.25X and maybe 0.5X, in my opinion.
