Hey I since long test my dna. First I found evidence of jewish ancestry in my autosomal DNA by 23andme (23andme is pretty good at assigning and finding jewish ancestry). Now I tested Y DNA and mtdna. Y DNA seems to be serbian which is in line with my known ancestry serbian. But I thought my mtdna is gypsy because my mum is gypsy eventhough her grandmother was half russian but it was her father apparently who was russian if that is true not her mother. But my mtdna shows nothern european matches which is weird for balkan, serbia and gypsy ancestry. I was thinking if it is maybe jewish. Sorry if im stupid but I cant distinguish german names from ashkenazi names and such. Can anyone help me with further information? mtdna is the direct maternal line and y dna is the direct paternal line and autosomal dna is the whole genetic make up. Happy Hannukah
