Yaffa my fathers FF came back with FINNISH! WTH?
He got
48% Spanish/French, Orcadian/Finnish
35% Mayan and Columbian Caribb
17% Middle Eastern (Jewish Sephardim and some Arab)
My theory for the Finnish is that after the Expulsion from Spain many Sephardic Jews went to Eastern Europe, ours went to New Spain. Though still genetically related to us their demographic are now in Russia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania etc... I have proof some of my family went east because I have people with my "Sephardic Spanish" surname who died in the Holocaust. I had no explanation for this until I got my dads FF back and saw the Finnish. I had to draw my own conclusion because no one in my family tree came from Eastern Europe. I started searching my Surname and found them in Scandinavia, Latvia, Lithuania, Finland, Russia, Serbia, Croatia, Turkey, Italy, England.
