Where you and your ancestors born in Palestine? My grandmother and her parents were from jaffa she was born in 1923...can tell you right now..all hard-core catholics. There were riots in jaffa against jews very shortly before her birth. She was raised in a convent. If you had any Israelite ancestry your grand or great grand parents would have told you. Alot of Muslims were hebrew converts during the ottoman empire if i recall correctly..if that was the case with your family you would have known. Research all the regions your ancestors could have lived in and the ancient peoples they come from. Palastine was home to the ancient canaanites and philistines. It has been ruled by many regimes including Egypt Rome and the ottoman empire. Many Europeans also made xtian pilgrimages there and even made their homes.
Ask about religious affiliations, reasons for immigration and emigration. For example if one were to have German or other European ancestors that fled Europe because of nazi Germany that could be a red flag. Research the history of thode regions of relations between gentiles and jews. All are pretty much negative and show gentiles and jews as very seperate people esp before 1800 -late 1800s. They would not be hard to miss and no gentile in their right mind (esp catholic who were forbidden to marry by the church outside of their faith, even denomination) would bang a jew.
Also some things to note:
dna companies can give an approximation especially with haplogroups but esp with autosomal dna are very inaccurate.
Jews meds and arabs share some large haplogroups but not the same genetic markers. Some features can be similar. Jews were made after US. Not the other way around.
Not everyone with the same last name is related and can have very different paternal lines. If you find jews with your last name or a great grand parent/2nd or 3rd grands last name it doesnt make you a jew. There were kikes rotting in concentration camps at the same time nazis and SS officers held those same last names with the same spellings. SS had to prove their family tree pretty far back.
When you check family remember what matters is who you come from the people who contribute to your birth. If you find you have a uncle who fucked a jewess and produced jewish cousins his bloodline then on are jews. His prob nit yours. As long as its not a grand/2345th ect parent.
