Thanks Jackie. Nice website.
The Ashkenazi Jewish people migrated all over the world and intermarried with many different kinds of people.
I have a degree in Religion. My Religion professor told me the Ashkenazi Jewish people were one of the first groups to migrate away from the Middle East. One day I was having a discussion with a friend who has a Ph.D in the sociology of religion and found out some of the places they migrated to. Very interesting !!!!!!!!
I have some Jewish ancestors and had BRCA 1 and 2 testing, but I was negative for BRCA 1 and 2.
Specialists in genetics have also found other mutations in people. I think the field of genetics is wide open for discovery.
