## **THE DNA OF THE SEPHARDIC DIASPORA – EARLY EVIDENCE**Who are we? By popular demand, ***Adam Brown*** returns to discuss the current state of knowledge on the origins of the Sephardim, how we fit together, and how we fit within the wider Jewish world. He will provide an overview of the field and will then focus on the Western Sephardim (the Spanish & Portuguese Jews) and communities in Morocco and the Americas.We are hoping that Adam will be joined by two other experts in the field, ***Michael Waas* **and* **Raquel Levy-Toledano.*** We shall leave plenty of time for questions.Adam asks that anyone who has questions about their DNA share their results with his team at www.jewishdna.org or here.If you have not tested with FamilyTreeDNA, you will need to first download your results from the other site.
