Ashkenazi/Moroccan Jew AncestralGenome results
u/Due_Succotash6158 — 9 hours ago







So my background is half Ashkenazi half Moroccan Sephardic, but for some reason I show a consistently high Germanic component in my ancient breakdowns. Above are my results from Illustrative and AncestralGenome which uses G25. On commercial tests I also get a trace northwest euro component, which seems to indicate that I have excess Germanic ancestry for my background.
I was wondering if anyone here has anything to make of this. I saw in another thread someone bring up that marriages between Jews and Germanic pagans in antiquity weren’t unheard of, with the Goths being more tolerant towards Jews in comparison to the Romans. Maybe something like that is at work here?
