[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, they probably don’t have as many samples of the DNA from certain kinds of European Jews as they do for the non-Jewish population, so the test only can tell right now that you are “European Jewish”without getting more precise. As another poster said, as they get more samples they may eventually be able to be more precise. There also may have been little to no intermarriage with your anscestors, so even though they may have moved a lot to avoid persecution, genetically they remained the same.

My family is Sicilian, and has darker skin, so I expected that we’d come back with some African or Middle Eastern DNA. Nope. In fact,[b] there was some Northern European and Celtic DNA in there which we have no idea at all how that happened[/b]. [/quote]

In Sicily, there are many light skinned, light haired people, who are called "Normani" meaning they had Norman blood from the Norman invasion in 999 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_conquest_of_southern_Italy

Normans were from Normandy in France, who had originally come from Scandanavia - hence the fair features. [/quote]
