Most genealogists researching their Ashkenazi families encounter brick walls in the paper trail within the past 200 years. A new research strategy using Y-DNA Next
Generation Sequencing (NGS) allows us to go back further in time and, in some cases, discover a history different from the expected one. Using results from FamilyTreeDNA’s
“Big Y” test, we are uncovering just this kind of story, about a lineage of Ashkenazi Jews that appears to be descended from a man who lived in the Iberian Peninsula
