I came to the conclusion than globally about 300 000 000 indidviduals carry significant portion of Jewish ancestry DNA. Therefore andrea's result does not surprize me at all!

I have also used the advanced controls with this feature due to some of the matches on RF that piqued my curiousity and some family stories. I did find some blue spots on three segments at 5cM. How far might this ancestry go back based on this (newbie question:) Thanks for any insight! Interesting post!

At least one family legend proven. I consider more needs to be done regarding Jewish origins in Europeans particularly for those of Sephardi Jewish origins. Iberians, Italians, Greeks and Latino Americans all believe they have Sephardi Jewish ancestry but cannot prove anything at 23andMe. It would be nice for those natioanalities and ethnic groups if something could be done for them. By the way many Jews that went to the Netherlands and Britain were originally Sephardi Jews not Ashkenazi Jews. Nice story. At least one family legend proven.
