[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does this matter if you have such a strong knowledge of where your parents came from?[/quote]

If you know your mom's family was Sephardic, why do you need a test to confirm that?  [/quote]

I didn't take a test to confirm that.  I took a test and then was a bit surprised that it wasn't confirmed, which left me shaken up.

My reason for taking the test was to find long-lost relatives.  My parents didn't think anyone survived the holocaust.  I have found distant cousins through this so that part was good.  As one example, my great grandaunt was presumed to have died, but actually made it separately to Canada and I have connected with her great grandchildren via Ancestry.  No one even knew that for almost 100 years so that entire family was lost.  I expect that there are some family that made it to Israel, too, but no one has taken the Ancestry.com test so I cannot find those relatives.  And, according to Ancestry, I have hundreds of relatives that are 4th, 5th, and 6th cousins, too.[/quote]

I’m not following OP’s train of thought here.  For 100 years you thought the family was lost?  The Holocaust was less than 80 years ago.[/quote]
