Finding Your DNA Cousins

When taking a DNA test, Jewish genealogists normally find tens of thousands of cousins. This is a result of endogamy (marrying within a community). Jarrett Ross will discuss the differences between general and Jewish genetic genealogy, and whether it is possible to use genetic genealogy to uncover Sephardic ancestry. He will use his own Nunes Vaz family as an example.
Jarrett Ross, The GeneaVlogger, is a professional genetic genealogist.

I don't have Jewish ancestry and only came because I'm follower of the Geneavlogger. This presentation was amazing and I learned a lot. I would recommend this presentation for anyone working with endogamy, pedigree collapse and multiple relationships.
