WHY DO YOU TRY TO DENY MEXICO'S AND MEXICANS JEWISH ANCESTRY,BLOOD,HISTORY?
WHY WOULD THIS SUBJECT GET YOU BUTTHURT ?
Sephardic DNA Shared by Mexicans and Jews
I wanted to discover if I was descended from Sephardic Jews on my mother’s side of the family. My mother had always said that her family was expelled from Spain, went to Scotland and then to Germany. Sephardic records are difficult to find and many that would help to trace a family may not exist. Family stories that have been passed down may be all that descendants have. DNA testing may be the only option.
After my results came back, I was contacted by Crispin Rendon, a Mexican genealogist who matched my results on certain DNA strands. Crispin actually has documentation (written records) for his family back to the 1300s. Some of his ancestors were known Conversos. Later I was contacted by another person, Kevin Brook, author of “The Jews of Khazaria,” because of DNA matches Kevin found with me.
Kevin is doing a study of Mexican Americans with DNA matches to Jews that have Sephardic heritage. Kevin, Crispin and I all discovered a match in a very specific sequence on Chromosome 10 of their DNA. They think this may be the Sephardic link they are looking for, but at this stage it is only a hypothesis.
There are now up to 60 Jews and Mexican Americans they have found with this matching sequence. The link may be through the ancestors of Conversos with Jewish roots that originally came with the Conquistadors to the New World and others that settled there afterward. Needless to say, many of the present-day Mexican Americans getting this DNA match had no idea they had Jewish ancestors.
