There are a s...DOD179 and I (DOD215) have a theory:<br />There are a set of interrelated Ashkenazi rabbinical families in Lithuania and Belarus ("Lita") and it <b>may</b> be that the individuals in cluster #15 are "Litvaks" with a shared set of common rabbinical ancestors who lived in Prague and Frankfurt in the 17th century whose descendants went back and forth to "Lithuania".<br /><br /><a href="http://www.jewishgen.org/rabbinic/images/ashkenazic_tree.jpg" rel="nofollow">Ashkenazi Rabbinical Family Tree</a><br /><br />The above tree has to be treated with caution since some of the links are unproven (or wrong). Also, it doesn't show the many lineages related to these going forward in time, and is missing quite a number of important links. <br /><br />Some members, based on surnames, seem to be related to the large set of Ashkenazi rabbinical families shown above, and heard that they descend from a "long line of rabbis" on one side or another. <br /><br />It is interesting that I myself have "multiregional" Ashkenazi ancestry, two lines from Belarus, one from Western Ukraine ("Galicia") and one from Romania, yet I'm 100% in cluster #15 just like some others with strictly "Litvak" ancestry. However, DOD178 has 100% Belarus "Litvak" ancestry and falls in cluster #14. <br /><br />A possible clue is that DOD173, who has paternal lines from Western Ukraine and Lithuania, and maternal lines from Germany and Hungary falls in both clusters, #14 and #15. <br /><br />We really don't know enough about who in fact descends from these interrelated rabbinical families, so we can't quite prove it (yet). One could describe it as a kind of "cryptic relatedness", but perhaps it isn't ...<br /><br />BTW, the Y DNA along with documented history and surname seems to indicate that the male-line descendants of Rabbi Mattityahu Treves b. 1323 in Marseilles spread throughout the Jewish world, from Germany to Lithuania to Italy, Greece, Bulgaria, and Western Turkey, to Aleppo and Baghdad.<br /> <br />These families are often named some variant of "Ashkenazi-Treves". What is fascinating is that they also seem to be close matches of the Martinez family of N. Mexico, the De Cubilla family of Boqueron Panama, and the Cardenas family of Medellin Columbia. They also match the Sephardic Toledano family of Morocco. It may also be that Lithuanian Jewish matches were originally named "Ximenes" (Jimenez). Because "Ashkenazi" means "German", it may be that this is the "Alemano" family of N. Mexico, with the same surname, in Spanish translation.<br /><br />This may be a documented case of IBD that extends across the world, from Ashkenazi and Sephardi Jews to Latin America. These individuals may not cluster together, but they should have elevated IBD values.<br /><br />You might want to try running FastIBD on a set of Latin Americans against Ashkenazi and Sephardi Jews to see what comes out. We already see these shared segments in Gedmatch but often we need a greater SNP density with combined RF v.3 and FF data to see it. <br /><br />I have a feeling that with full sequences these shared segments > 3 cM will suddenly become clear ...Ted Kandellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13245279435975443065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6533996127304587865.post-54522749678017754502012-01-28T06:06:07.369+02:002012-01-28T06:06:07.369+02:00I realize that now but I still am confused about t...I realize that now but I still am confused about the order of Z-Scores (Murcia, Sicilian, French) etc. How do you explain this?

The inter-population IBD analysis is another proof that Gascon people - at least a South Gascon individual like me - are linked to the French Basques. By decreasing order : French Basque : 4.93 (pretty high ??) ; Pais_Vasco_1KG : 1.84 ; Aragon : 1.66 ; [...] ; French 0.09<br /><br />I really lament the lack of proper regional French samples ...
