Am I Jewish?

[pourple2q]

Wolf is the animal symbol of Benjamin Tribe.

Benjamin tribe survived together with Judah tribe when the 10 tribes of Israel were lost.

My personal name is "Randolf", "guardian wolf" in gothic germanic.

Many ancient peoples had the wolf as an idol and symbol. However, everything happens with a purpose. It may have a meaning, but we don't know it.
My last name is not the name of the prophet Abraham. But my mother's father has it. (So does my mother, until marriage).
Instead, my last name translates as "wolf" and more precisely "son of the wolf". This last name comes from my father. And not from the Jews (I can't say anything anyway). And, although he is a "wolf" in Romanian, my father has Pecheneg ancestors. They worshiped Tengri and the wolf. (But I'm not declaring anything).

Is there someone in western world that doesn't score some jewish ancestry?

Of course. There are 700 million Europeans. Jews are 2% of the population. Do the math.

[pourple2q]

Yes, I agree with this, which is why I am also very skeptical about the origin of Romanians/Moldovans with non-Moldovan/Romanian surnames. But the genetic influence can be very distant and completely gone, kind of like in the case of haplogroups. In cases like yours where so many Romanians carry it, I don't think that it carries any Jewish genetic weight with it.



Bulgarians are similar to Romanians, especially to those living closer to Bulgaria. It just so happens that you are closer to their average on GEDmatch. But as I have shown you, you are extremely typical for your location genetically. Regarding Jewish, as Abriekmann told you, the best way to identify small and not obvious admixtures is by checking your matches. If you have many Jewish matches near the top of your relatives, then it is certain that you inherited something.

In almost all tests I get Ashkenazi, including approximations of 4 populations:
MDLP-World 22 gives me a distance of 12.7. Actually, I'm going to make a table for everyone. I want to finish this mystery once, and thank you very much for getting involved!
So, I hope I'm not wrong somewhere. I'm not an expert.

Nobody is 100% anything. Humans share over 90% of their DNA with monkeys and chimpanzees, and you still haven't seen one person claiming he's not human enough or that he has problems setting apart himself from the primate cousins. What really matters is the combination, that's what forms a species, a race, and an ethnicity. Our ancestors didn't have DNA tests, and so their judgment was based on simple but effective ways: appearance, behavior, and self-identification. Looks European, acts like an European, and self-identifies as an European? He's an European. Oh, by that small, insignifcant percent of my DNA says I'm Jewish. Yeah, right.

Fantastic information, that we share so much with the monkeys. How strange, the people on this group are grouping together. Try to find out the differences and the distance even from the neighboring countries. And others, try to prove that we are all one and the same. In fact, even monkeys: D
However, this is a passion!

If science proves this, it is so strange that although religion is false, the seed of Abraham becomes as big as the stars in the sky. (according to DNA science). However, even after the science of DNA, will we not know it? That makes me even more curious to find out once it's with that 5.51% Ashkenazi.

[pourple2q]

No.

The title of the post is different from the real question: "Are they 5.51% Ashkenazi?" Because, I already know I'm not Jewish.
After all, this is the essence of DNA testing and this forum. So, can you argue why not? I really want to know.

[pourple2q]

Of course. There are 700 million Europeans. Jews are 2% of the population. Do the math.

Amazingly, how can so few people, who come from even fewer people (According to the Torah & Old Testament), become so many? Supported by science and DNA. For here it is no longer a question of faith, but of what we see with our eyes.

Because 5.51% Ashkenazi on Jtest isn't actually 5.51% Ashkenazi, you're using it wrong. Full Ashkenazim get ~30% Ashkenazi on Jtest. Full Romanians typically get 5.65% according to the spreadsheet, so you're even less "Ashkenazi" than the average Romanian.
