[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why did you report posts on the other thread that told you that is possible, and then the one saying nobody is 99% Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry.
I mean sure, you could be, if they immigrated recently a everyone married only Ashkenazi Jews, but since you just found this out, what are the chances of that?
Your mom and dad are both unaware and both married the same DNA  people?
And so did your grandparents? So, completely unaware of their background and yet here you are?
Logically, this is not possible.

I'm just jumping in to say that the PP above is completely off-base. It is not at all uncommon for ancestors from the same settlements in eastern Europe to intermarry, as they had no other choices. This is the case with my family. I will not give my real name, but this scenario is real. Let's say that my Dad's last name is Friedman and there is a town called Friedman in the former USSR where the Jews were forced to live in a small settlement. I started receiving news from my family about the Friedman heritage and all about the town. I naturally assumed this was my Dad's side of the family. It wasn't - it was my Mom's side who's ancestors came from the same small settlement. I haven't done a DNA test, but I'm sure my DNA would be almost all Ashkenazi Jew.[/quote]
