## ***FINDING YOUR DNA COUSINS***## ***WITH JARRETT ROSS***## ***SEPHARDIC WORLD, SUNDAY 17 MARCH 2024***When taking a DNA test, Jewish genealogists normally find tens of thousands of cousins. This is a result of endogamy (marrying within a community). ***Jarrett Ross ***will discuss the differences between general and Jewish genetic genealogy, and whether it is possible to use genetic genealogy to uncover Sephardic ancestry. He will use his own Nunes Vaz family as an example.***Jarrett Ross***, The GeneaVlogger, is a professional genetic genealogist. Jarrett has built a special expertise in Genetic Genealogy, the Portuguese Jewish community of Amsterdam, southern New Jersey Jewish agricultural societies, and American Jewish genealogy, as well as extensive experience researching many other population groups. Jarrett is an Admin of The Sephardic Diaspora group on Facebook, volunteers as a Geni curator, a Search Angel, Vice President of Triangle Jewish Genealogical Society, and on the Board of Directors for the International Association of Jewish Genealogical Societies.[https://www.youtube.com/@GeneaVlogger](https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2F%40GeneaVlogger%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR1d-TPeZLAt_IjMK7WFelHjET3sXFmctrUz-rc6BShIIdlH8bwk93XSkG8&h=AT31XA31e81CL3O5jVsrKyp4TnwCfs8qTv6G1gbaFVLEw_4uS5rauDjPyoxcwQdcYc8EgLzFcoWDFH2UahDxgh5WCz4kKx287sHJh00fbFTk5Swgf6ye0RKh3hP1bo07jA&__tn__=-UK-R&c[0]=AT0Abhd1kfHxy1g-O9I0Ju3J6PuLqkGsyGlmGqySrENm_Qfn60NxhUQh5YEtC_HP2n7XL3EBbHDou1zjpaO9L6Dwr5kZBPkGrbJWEhOfC_yDV1xa3jd960jhn_MYcfzP1vsHD99ox4_oHwafVa9KTrpBg2_JSPzKXUGuBKU)The clocks have gone forward in the United States but not Europe.
