We finally received the long-awaited Y-DNA results for the Cansinos from Cuba (and Mexico), and just as expected, we match our Cansino cousins in the Diaspora. Both branches share in turn another interesting match I already posted about on this group, a man by the name of Gonzalo de Arboleda, tried by the Inquisition for "judaizing". One unexpected surprise was to find among our matches a member of this very group, David Mendoza, at the 12 marker test level and 1 step genetic distance, the same distance that separates the two Cansino branches. This is what FTDNA estimates as regards our possible common ancestry:Based on a Genetic Distance of 1 at the Y-12 test level, H Cansino M and G S Cansino are estimated to share a common paternal line ancestor who was, with a 95% probability, born between 300 BCE and 1850 CE. The most likely year is rounded to 1100 CE. This date is an estimate based on genetic information only.As much as the Inquisition, the Spanish Crown and every antisemite in my home country of the past 500 years tried to erase our Jewish heritage, they could have never predicted that science would help us break their impenetrable, centuries-old wall of ignorance and hatred without shedding a drop of blood!
