DNA tests
- Y-DNA - This is paternal line DNA. It is only passed down from father to son, so females cannot take this test as they do not have Y-DNA
- mtDNA - This is maternal line DNA. It is passed from mothers to daughters and sons. However, son’s cannot pass it on to their children. Daughters, however, pass it on to their own daughters and sons
- Autosomal DNA - can be used to identify both male and female-line relatives for a person.
- Endogamy (Autosomal DNA) - For genetic purposes, Jews are what’s known as an “endogamous” population. They stayed in a relatively limited geographical area and typically married only within their own culture — and not infrequently within their own families. (A 2014 study suggested that all Ashkenazi Jews alive today trace back to the same 330 people. Endogamy means that Jews share much more DNA with each other than average, which grossly inflates their relationship predictions.
