#dna test

[magnetothemagnificent]

been thinking about this question and hopefully this won't be too awkward to ask. since judaism is itself an ethnicity and religion at the same time, imagine you have ancestors from like idk portugal who converted to judaism centuries and centuries ago and so their descendants are all jewish but don't know about the conversion part. can they call themselves ethnically jewish?

A person becomes part of the Jewish ethnicity when they convert to Judaism. Ethnicity is more than DNA, it's about your peoplehood. As a student of anthropology I honestly don't like how the rise of at-home DNA test kits have put into people's minds their identity is a complicated equation of DNA percentages. People are not math problems. If you were born Jewish you are 100% Jewish. If you converted to Judaism you are 100% Jewish. DNA tests only measure the genes you're more likely to share with certain populations, and even then they're not completely accurate. Ethnicity isn't about blood quantum, at least it shouldn't be.

Here's an example, using myself:

I've never taken a DNA test, and don't intend to, but if I had to guess it would probably give me a result of something like: 58% Ashkenazi Jewish; 25% Northern European; 15% Sephardi Jewish; 2% Northern African.

What does that tell me about my ethnicity? Nothing. It tells me percentages of DNA I have that are most likely shared with certain populations of people from certain geographic regions (haplogroups), but my ethnicity is 100% Jewish and I don't need a DNA test to tell me that, because I know I was born Jewish.

DNA tells you your haplotypes. Peoplehood tells you your ethnicity. And peoplehood is defined by the people themselves.

So yes, the descendents of converts are ethnically Jewish. All Jews are ethnically Jewish.

American actor Samuel L. Jackson traces his origins back to the Bantu tribe of Gabon

The Bantu people are the speakers of Bantu languages, comprising several hundred indigenous ethnic groups in sub-Saharan Africa, spread over a vast area from Central Africa across the African Great Lakes to Southern Africa.

He was welcomed as a lost son by the Benga people and was inducted into the Benga tribe, with rare and unprecedented access to secret ceremonies and local customs.

My brothers dog Kush just got his embark results back. Anyone wanna take a guess on what he is before I share them?

He’s around 70 pounds, solid as a rock and stands taller than me when he’s on his hind legs (5’2”).

For more info behavior wise that may or may not be helpful: Nervous and does not trust new people. Not an aggressive bone is his body and will run if he’s unsure. Gets along with any dog he meets and is goofy as hell when he play wrestles (flopping snorting sneezing bowing - he does it all). Does not hunt or chase small animals. He “smiles” when he is excited or when he thinks he’s in trouble - so all the time. Does not have impulse control and has issues retaining training because of it but wants to please so badly despite this. Wants to be cuddled and squished more than anything on this earth and is always leaning on his trusted people.

Analysis of classic genetic markers and DNA polymorphisms by Excoffier et al. (1987) found that the Sara are most closely related to the Kunama people of Eritrea.

Both populations speak languages from the Nilo-Saharan family. They are also similar to West African populations, but biologically distinct from the surrounding Cushitic and Ethiopian Semitic Afro-Asiatic-speaking groups

The Sara people are a Central Sudanic ethnic group native to southern Chad, the northwestern areas of the Central African Republic, and the southern border of North Sudan. They speak the Sara languages which are a part of the Central Sudanic language family. They are also the largest ethnic group in Chad.

Sara oral histories add further details about the people. In summary, the Sara are mostly animists (veneration of nature), with a social order made up of several patrilineal clans formerly united into a single polity with a national language, national identity, and national religion.

Babygate - A Repeated History

Disclaimer - I do not give a fuck about Woody Allen. I do not care about his image, his allegations, his cases or anything else. I am just covering up the topic of him being a biological father. So DO NOT ask me about anything else.

Note - The term fake fatherhood has never been used before and it will never ever be used even in the future, because this is something that happens behind closed doors and it never comes out in public. Even when fake pregnancies and fake parenthood is revealed, they just manipulate the story calling the parents or the child victim of circumstances and they end it by providing the true DNA test publicly.

Most of the people outside Larry fandom refuse to believe that fake fatherhood or fake pregnancies are real. To everyone else out there this is an extreme reach where we think that someone can fake fatherhood. People do not realise that Hollywood is a shithole and it's very easy to lie about pregnancies, DNA test, birth certificates, etc. Louis's situation is very very different from Woody Allen's but both have faked fatherhood for years. Here's what happened with Woody Allen-

Woody Allen met Mia Farrow in 1979, they began publicly dating in 1980.

In 1987 their family expanded and Mia Furrow gave birth to their son Ronan Furrow. In 1992 they split up. Nobody questions the fact that Mia Farrow is Ronan’s biological mother.

Woody Allen’s paternity of Ronan was never publicly questioned in the press at the time, and he raised him under the presumption that he was in fact the father. Thus he became Ronan’s legal father in the eyes of the law, regardless of what the factual truth might be. Woody Allen fathered Ronan. Paid child support for him for his whole childhood, legally Allen was Ronan's father.

Here is Woody Allen with his son Ronan

However, as Ronan grew into adulthood, more and more people came to suspect that Farrow’s ex-husband, Frank Sinatra, might have been the true biological father — including Allen himself.

Then in 2013 Mia Furrow mother of Ronan suddenly revealed in a Vanity Fair interview that Woody Allen might not be Ronan's real father and Frank Sinatra, Mia's first husband might "possibly" be her son's real father despite Woody Allen’s name on birth certificate. (Sounds Familiar? )

That is, the mother revealed after whole 26 years that the real father of her son can possibly be someone else and this whole time Woody Allen was playing the father of Ronan, he fathered him, legally, he paid his full child support. But at the end it turned out that Woody Allen is not even the real father of the kid.

There is suspicion even with regards to the birth certificate of Ronan. Allen was there for Farrow’s caesarian delivery of their son. But when he saw Satchel’s birth certificate, he was shocked again: His name, according to sources, was missing. “The doctors and nurses just forgot,” Farrow told him. Allen had to hire lawyers to put it on.

Now this case can be taken as by keeping Woody Allen in the positive light and saying that Mia cheated on him and she herself said that she and Sinatra never really broke up, hence poor Allen was betrayed and had no idea that he was being framed for fake fatherhood by Mia. And she wanted to hide her own infidelity.

But knowing that Woody Allen is a piece of shit and by keeping all the circumstances in mind it can be very easily said that all this drama of fatherhood was actually planned and had been fake since the very start.

It should also be noted that, despite being married three different times, over a combined span of over 30 years (comprising more than a third of his life), Allen has never managed to impregnate any of his wives. So it's totally possible that Allen knew this whole time that he was not the real father of this kid but he played along to hide his infertility.

And when Mia Furrow revealed that Allen might not be the real father, everyone gave such a mild response as if they knew it all along and it's no big deal.

Mia just dropped the news in 2013 in a Vanity Fair interview.

Ronan joked about it on twitter saying “Listen we’re all *possibly* Frank Sinatra’s son.”

Ronan was also asked about this on national TV “Now, what do you think your father would think about what you’re doing now?” 

And he answered, laughing. “I didn’t want to give you the soundbite of ‘Which one?'” 

And Allen said “In my opinion, he’s my child, I think he is, but I wouldn’t bet my life on it. I paid child support for him for his whole childhood, and I don’t think that’s very fair if he’s not mine.”

People started talking about  The Frank Sinatra Paternity Theory, public started analyzing photos of Ronan with both Allen and Sinatra, and they realised that he resembles Sinatra a lot. People even started analyzing Mia's pregnancy timeline (how ridiculous this is because this was happening after 26 years of her pregnancy). Even Sinatra's family drew a pregnancy timeline of Mia. And it became public knowledge that Allen's name was missing from the original birth certificate because Mia  was taking a host of steps to prevent his status as Woody Allen being the acknowledged father. And media started questioning both Sinatra family and Ronan that if Frank was secretly fathering him this whole time.

Ronan has always been super close to Sinatra's family. They said "He is a big part of us, and we are blessed to have him in our lives. We are family and will always be.”

Larry King said ‘This is Frank Sinatra’s son . . . He has a Frank Sinatra appeal, so it’s possible. Frank was always close to Mia. He stood up for her when the Woody Allen (divorce) happened. Frank stood up for you.”

Frank - Ronan - Allen

Then one must consider the fact that Ronan has never submitted to a paternity test to discover the truth, nor has he ever been encouraged to do so by his mother.

The fact remains that neither side offers evidence that is fully conclusive, and all sides have reason to lie or obscure the truth out of pride, spite or embarrassment.

Unless and until Ronan Farrow decides to take a paternity test, we may never know the true answer. Neither Allen nor Ronan wants any kind of DNA test and Frank is already dead. They all are comfortable in their own places even after this whole fake fatherhood scandal.

Despite any suspicions Allen may have had from the start, all indications were that he was a loving father to Ronan and fully supported him financially. 

Here is full case study of Sinatra Babygate if anyone wants to study it deeply. X

This case itself reveals that it's so fucking easy to fake everything. When it comes to people at powerful positions who can do ANYTHING to make things convenient according to what they want, nothing is impossible. Call it a paternity scandal or another example of fake fatherhood, but this case shows that how celebs can fool people so easily.

The concept of fake baby became a joke after this. Like Katy Perry literally joked about her management suggesting her to have a fake baby.

“My management told me I should have a fake baby to increase the publicity and have more followers… This is Bella, sponsored by Fit Tea.”

The joke is lost on management here. But nothing can beat the reality. Here is how common it is for celebrities to fake pregnancies

The case of Louis is slightly different from the above mentioned cases. He's not doing it for hiding his infertility or for PR but rather this has been forced on him to hide his sexuality and for several other reasons that we already know. He has pissed off a lot of powerful people and this will definitely end one day but even then no one will fully accept that this was a case of fake fatherhood. They will just throw a DNA test one day because they have made it pretty clear since the very start that Louis never had any paternity test. HE DOES NOT NEED ONE. He TRUST Briana who he barely knew well to had a baby with and who defrauded her sugar daddy, which we famously know as boobiegate.

Closeting tactics are nothing but pre experimented strategies. It just depends which scenario they see fit to apply it again with slight variations.

What is Recombinant DNA Technology?

Recombinant DNA technology (rDNA technology) is a process that is used for producing artificial DNA through the combination of different genetic materials (DNA) from different sources.

So my DNA test results updated.

They do once they get more and more samples in. That is how these tests work.

They go off of the samples that they have, and that they continue to get.

I did it to match with family and to see if I have any cousins out there. I do, and have matched with them.

My husband did his, and his second highest match was an 82 year old woman at the time who was trying to figure out who her dad was.

After much research, we came to the conclusion that she was his half-great aunt. His great-grandfather had a child before he was married.

This woman passed away a few years ago knowing who her dad was and that she had half-siblings out there. Who she did not meet cause they weren't nice people.

So I always say that these tests are good for finding family, but not for accurately guessing your heritage.

That will involve research.

Hi! So im relatively new to seeing your account but i was recommended it.

Im white and white passing but on my fathers side, theres Ashkenazi Jewish and I’m about 14% (i took a dna test). I call myself Jewish (sometimes if we’re talking about our dna) because i feel connected to it but i still acknowledge i have other more prominent things in my dna. But i was told by a friend that 14% doesn’t count and should never.

Is that considered right? Im just asking out of curiosity and i like to learn new things. Thanks!

to my knowledge, being jewish is both an ethnicity and a religion. so you can be jewish ethnically, even if you don't practise the faith. however, just a warning, DNA tests have limited accuracy. what "counts" is more about community. are you accepted by your jewish family/and or community? do you know the history of your roots? DNA is only one part of a connection, the rest is about community and family and knowledge of your culture. so maybe focus more on connecting to that.
