To Whomever This May Concern:
Please note that there are two descending lines from David Avraham ben Hazub: 1) Yehuda "Zakai" ben David, 29th Exilarch 'Judah II' (leading to the Shaltiel line) and 2) 'Nathan HaBabli' ben Abu Ishaq Avraham Nasi, 2nd. Exilarca Mar Uqba HaRofeh, Qadi al-Qayraw ben Abu Ishaq Avraham, Exilarch 'Mar Uqba HaRofeh', Qadi al-Qayrawānī (leading to the Yahia and Charlap lines). Line 1 is showing a yDNA signature in the J macrogroup Moshe Abraham Shaltiel (J-M267). Line 2 is showing a yDNA signature in the R macrogroup: Private User. This situation impllies at least one NPE (non paternity event) somewhere in one of these lines. I cannot determine where based on the GENI tree info. One way, perhaps the only way. to verify the correct signature would be to test additional branches of both lines, so if you are a descendant of one of these un-tested lines and have not been yDNA tested, please help us by doing the Y37 test at FTDNA and then uploading your result to the GENI tree (or if you have already tested then please upload your result).
Thanks

Adam,
I'm so sorry but genetic tests did not reveal King David's descendants unique Y-DNA signature. Each families Shaltiel, Dayan, Benveniste, Charlap have their own male progenitors in the root.

Hello Andrew, No worries. It has been a wonderful experience nevertheless. Can you please post the the URLS for the end persons in the Dayan and Benveniste lines? I am not familiar with how these two lines are also connected to the root. Thanks and Congratulations on a Job Well Done!

PS: I found the root of the Dayan line: Josiah al-Hasan ben Zakkai, who is the brother of the David Avraham ben Hazub mentioned in yesterday's first post. According to what I can understand, the Dayan hg is R1a1a-M198 (via: Eliyahu אליהו Halevi Dayan). One can already conclude that the Dayan's R1a1a designation is not near enough to the Charlap's R1b1a designation to confirm a common Davidic ancestor. I am still looking for the Benveniste root.

Hi Adam,
The end person you found is of HaLevy family. Y-DNA results also confirmed that. This Israeli family was originally Kitaygorodsky from Ukraine. Someone dropped out this fact from the articles in English and joined the profiles to the Dayans of Aleppo...
I'm in contact with real Dayans and even took part in their DNA testing. They are indeed all R-M198 but from other subclade:
Thanks Andrew. One more line which a legendary descent from the David-Exilarch root is the Abravanel family (Don Isaac Abarbanel). I am not aware of any descendants (confirmed or speculated, yDNA tested or not) from the Don Isaac tree. If there are any please let me know.

As far as I know, I am a descendant of Don Yitzhak Abarbanel, but I have no idea how, and whether it is through my grandmother or grandfather,
If there is a list of offspring, I may be able to find out how I am his offspring

Here too I may have information: According to the father of a cousin (5) I found,
my g.grandfather(5):
rabbi Yaakov Azriel (zelig) Raychert was descendant Of families:Benvenisti, karo and vital
According to her father, the family was one of the deportees from Spain who moved to Bavaria, in the village of Reichert, and changed their last name to Reichert.
