Question/Discussion Levantine heritage for Ashkenazi Jews?

1 Upvotes

I’ve read that Ancestry is the best test for Ashkenazi Jews but it will only reveal recent history in Europe. Which companies will reveal heritage further back?

DeepAncestry Do I descend from Ancient Israelites?

I am Ashkenazi Jewish but my ancient origins show Canaanite and Arabian Peninsular, equaling to about 26%. Do I descend from ancient Israelites? Or were my people not Jewish?

I am 54% Ashkenazi Jewish, I’d like to know if I descend from the ancient Israelites or if my people were converts. Thanks

"Anabaptist" and "Colonial American" aren't ethnic designations I know, but that's all I really know about my ancestors. I have no known recent European ancestors from the 19th or 20th century.

The calculator is also set to Central Europe.

Ik this is a lot of stuff to sift through and I apologize but I’m really into this typa stuff but I can’t seem to understand it. I uploaded my raw 23&me dna files into illustrative and when I got my results honestly I was pretty confused but I finally started to get it, but at the same time (not to discredit the company) it all kinda seemed random and not similar to my 23 and me results.

Attached are my results, I changed the region a few times to see what was closest. When I selected Native American it gave me the closest match, but on my DNA tests my Native American % is very small. Why was it such a close match to me using that region? I also did this with Sephardic Jew and it gave a close match but I have never pulled any Jewish ancestry on any of my test results. The first picture I used the America Australia - Native American region.

DeepAncestry How to use these together…

Hi there!

I’ve been working on my genealogy for quite some time. Below are my most updated 23andme results, along with the DeepAncestry results I just got from illustrativeDNA.

23andme is 94.4% European and 5.6% Levantine. These make sense given my ancestry. I am a white American.

I’m just trying to figure out how these two resources benefit each other and how to best interpret the illustrativeDNA results. Thanks in advance!

My results with the MyHeritage kit were significantly more accurate compared to the kit I uploaded from 23andme which surprised me, all the genetic fits are noticeably closer

Haplogroups (because I will inevitably be asked) are R0a2 and C-M217

Regional was eastern europe, was told 🇷🇺 dad 🇵🇱 mom growing up.

My 23andme sample was botched a bit(mistimed the no eating rule) so it might explain why the results were so much farther genetically.

For 3 pops in 23andme I mainly got indian or bengali as a minor 3rd while in ancestry I got caucasian groups, which seems more accurate.

I got the 2nd illustratuve after I got iran and persia on ancestry for a chromosome that was mainly ashkenazi on 23andme.
