A closer analysis of my father's autosomal DNA. It is clear my father's link to Spanish-Portuguese Jews or Sephardim is not noise.
The link to the Middle East MENA and Iberia is narrow at 2-2.5%, but present. Project this from my father back about five-six generations and...we may have 100% Sephardim.
Combined with a Y-DNA like E-L1401 (part E-V22) which - except in my family - only occurs in the Middle East.
And an E-V22 that peaks (4,44%) in Europe in Asturias Spain, where the Sephardim/conversos have left the greatest genetic mark (40%).
So I don't think my paternal line was drawn from Frisian clay! But yes, it remains undercover with only Jan, Fokke, Haye. Enigma. Which "Frysk famke" meets "niño sefardí".... ?
Top work by the guys at Humanitas, including top geneticists Sammy Basso and Nicola Capelli. They also immediately had a bull's eye with Groningen as a target and also the Anglo-Saxon links that the Northern Dutch gene pool has. There will be a further analysis for specifically the Mediterranean part, but this is really classy in my eyes, recommended!
