Táltos thank you so much for the reply! I am trying to determine if any of my matches are Jewish - is there a particular Haplotype I should be watching for? I am going to do some research on this and go through and see what I can determine. Thanks for the suggestion!

confetticake you are welcome! Sometimes it is really easy to see, they might have the Cohen badge under their name when you click on it. Will look like this. https://my.familytreedna.com/match-cohen.aspx They also might be E3b. Keep in mind though these are the common Middle Eastern ones. They can also come in other haplogroups. They can also be a certain subclade of R1a, R1b though I am not as familiar with them. And they can also be a yDNA of Q which will probably be a Q1b1a if they did not SNP test yet. Hopefully I did not leave anyone out!

I also just found this and it should cover all of them, including the mtDNA lines. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_studies_on_Jews

Look at the names that they list and see if they are Jewish names. And of course write to them and ask if they are Jewish. Hopefully they will write you back and let you know.
