Slide 1: Ashkenazi Jews (East and West)

Slide 2: Eastern Sephardic Jews

Slide 3: North African Jews

Slide 4: Syrian Jews

Slide 5: Romaniote Jews

All populations used in these models were sourced from the Moriopoulos collection.

Ever since my original QPADM post, I've been working on fine-tuning my models and making them more accurate. What I have below is the periodical QPADM/Admixlab of an Ashkenazi Jew with roots in North East Poland and Lithuania. I hope you guys enjoy these models as I list some of my observations.

***Iron Age Source Populations***

Israel_IA = Israelite

Lithuania_Berciuniai_IA_barrows = Proto-Slavic

Turkey_Ancient_I6573.AG = Aegean

Italy_Lazio_IA_c_IA_d_Etruscan = Celto-Italic (I believe this cluster contains the Cisalpine Gaul sample and some potentially Celtic mixed samples). The model also worked with Iron Age Southern French samples, albiet with higher standard errors. The standard errors seem to be decently high with this sample for whatever reason.

Canary_Guanche = Berber (The dataset I used didnt have any good samples for Berbers).

***Migration Era Source Populations***

Lebanon_ImperialRoman = Roman Levantine (This Levantine sample contains a decent amount of Anatolian admixture, so that could be part of the reason why the Anatolian simply evaporated. I tried to get the Anatolian proxy to stand alone but the other samples used are too mixed)

Poland_EarlyMedieval_Slav = Early West Slavic

Croatia_Dalmatia_Imperial = Roman Alpine (We simply do not have any Roman samples from Northern Italy or Southern France, so I figured Imperial Croatia would work as a decent proxy. Imperial Croatia was essentially Illyrian and Celtic + Aegean which was decently similar to what a Roman Era South French or North Italian would've looked like. The model also worked with the oLevant samples from Klosteunerberg and Sarrebourg, which are not necessarily Levantine mixed but rather local mixed with Imperial Romans and Aegeans.

The other models I believe are self explanatory. The modern model seems to have inflated Levant though, but thats probably due to the lack of a source with significant Anatolian ancestry. On an individual sample level, North Italians from Bergamo provided the best fits.

The last image is just an AI representation of the models. Normally I'm pretty against using AI for these sorts of things, but this looked too cool not to include.

I know, this was a lot out outgroups, but this was necessary to distinguish between certain components such as Anatolian and Levantine and to get the standard errors low.

Made some labeling errors on the original post so I went back and resolved it.

Disclaimer: I am aware that the standard errors for the modern model are rather high, but this is due to the similarities between South and North Italians.

This individual is mixed between North and South Italy, with 3/4 of their ancestry coming from Provincia di Salerno and 1/4 coming from Provincia della Spezia. Their haplogroups are R-Z72 and M1a2a1e.

I decided to compile all the haplogroups I could attribute to each line of my Ashkenazi family line from my matches. Lot more of haplogroup R than I was expecting but I think it's fascinating nonetheless. Any thoughts?

For context my Ashkenazi line hails predominantly from Lomza in Poland.
