If you look at the percentage of DNA that is SJ, you can estimate the connection. Irish_Dem Dec 4 #10

...there has been a rash of what I call "The Indian Princess Syndrome" among certain "people" in regard to Sephardic ancestry. I knew they were trying to pin it down. I have to let me friend in Seatle know about this, though he already knows because of a detailed genealogy from this grandmother, before she passed.

This is exciting!

Thanks for sharing. Welcome!

We can guess the ancestor who was SJ.

For example, if it is 100% it is both parents.
50% is one parent.
25% is one grandparent.
12.5% is one great grandparent.
6% is one great great grandparent.

If you are on Ancestry they will show you the parent and the matches that
go to that piece of DNA.
