Shalom reader,
I want to check if I have Jewish lineage on my mothers’ and father’s side of the family. Do I have to get the Y-test for the father’s side and a separate mt-dna for the mother’s side or do I just get the Y-test only since I am a male? What if I were to get the family test done, will that cover both the mother and father’s ancestral line?
My mother’s maiden name is Madaje and the surnames on her maternal side are Maratas, Duterte, and Marte. I have never met my biological father or any members on his side of the family. But, I do know his name is Leonello Mosot. I checked the Sephardic genealogy website and it listed Marte and Madaye (mother’s surname is Madaje) as known Sephardic Jewish surnames. For my father’s side, there was a Motot, off by one letter, just like my moms’. Thank you in advance for reading my post and responding.
Baruch HaShem,
Micah
