Sephardic DNA Project

The Avotaynu DNA project is compiling a library of Y-DNA from men of patrilineal Jewish heritage to provide evidential data for genealogists and historians. There is no Jewish gene. While most Ashkenazim derive from a relatively small genetic population, Sephardim are have more varied genetic heritage. In this presentation to Sephardic World, Adam Brown assisted by Michael Waas, discuss the project. The genetic census of the Sephardim has already identified people as far apart as Turkey and the Caribbean with shared ancestry, presumably from Spain. The Sephardic DNA project should eventually answer the question of whether large numbers of Ashkenazim have Sephardic ancestry as well as resolving the question of the genetic origins of the bnei anusim in the American southwest.
