[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What would you be looking for from a reconnection? Have you done 23 & me or the like?[/quote]

I don't know what I would be looking for. Maybe more understanding of who my family was before they "lost" their identity.

I have done 23 and me. Said what I expected, German, Danish, UK. [/quote]

If you had Ashkenazi DNA that should have showed up in the results - I'm not sure if/how they test for Sephardim.

You could use Ancestry.com to see what you can track down. But also, if you are feeling a pull toward Judaism, I'd say explore it. Spend some time going to a reform synagogue - or talking to a rabbi. I think, especially now, you will be welcomed.[/quote]

From what I understand there is no way to test for Sephardim. My dad did 23 and me and even though he is 1/8th Spanish Jew (or so we've been told) it just shows up as Iberian. [/quote]

We have Jewish friends who know their families are from E. Europe and their results come back as Ashkenazi Jewish. My DH's family is from the Andean area of South America. Their results come back as Spain, Indigenous Andean and "Jewish". We're assuming it's Sephardic given the history of Sephardic Jews.

Let me tell you, my very Catholic IL's were SHOCKED they had Jewish ancestors. It was both funny and sad. They were also shocked at how much Indigenous Andean DNA they had (50%+). They firmly believed they were 100% Spanish. [/quote]
