How likely are you to have Jewish heritage relatives? Within 5th cousin range?

Lets just say a man came from Sweden in the 1800's.  His descendants have lived in the USA for over 150 years.  There have been some relatives who went through the various wars, changing of faith and so forth.  Some started marrying people of different nationalities.

Any how.

By DNA testing, the testing companies will tell you the nationality of your "cousins."  It will tell you how far-apart you are related.

For my children, they DEFINITELY have Jewish heritage "cousins."  I could try a different testing company and get different results for my children.  The cousins revealed, are within the 5th cousin range.  (Note: my children have a mystery heritage condition because of Native American ancestry and father coming from a fatherless home)

Anyhow, looking at the results, it turns out that there are over 100 matches that claim that these cousins have some sort of Jewish heritage.  Whether it is Ashkinazi, Shepardic or other types of Middle-Eastern ancestry.

In reality, I personally know some 1st cousin once removed and 2nd cousins who could more than likely have the Jewish heritage of some sort.  I don't know all the details of their tests, but I do know that Grandpa took the test and it revealed the heritage.  They definitely have a middle-east-Jewish appearance and behavior.  Other cousins definitely have indigenous to Middle Eastern heritage and I can pick up on the "Levant" nature of a person quite quickly.

So if you or someone you knows thinks it is ok to play around with "racism"......remind them that their friends and family are more than likely cousins to someone who is Jewish/middle eastern in some way or another.  Everyone in someway or another is connected to the tower of Babel in some sense of proper understanding.  (Yes, sometimes even Jewish people can have racism issues, so don't assume that just because there is a minority conditions that a person is free from that aspect)

I don't know the heritage or history of this child in this video, but I can tell that there may be some sort of middle east heritage in his ancestry.  (Celebrity often say whom they are related to or their ancestry however....and have lawyers to protect them in various circumstances)  Often times, middle-east folks are more "linguistic" than a sort of latino or native american, though they may appear similar from time to time (turkish looks like Native American sometimes)

So now people wonder why I am always writing about stopping antisemitism if it is spotted (like claiming that Jews are ruining and controlling the world)......well the answers should be VERY clear.  The average person could have ancestry or relatives with Jewish heritage of some sort.

Put it this way.  The children are our future.  If a relative within each of these ranges is affected, this much of their heart is injured.

Brother-sister-mother-father = 50%

1st cousin-aunt-uncle-grandparent=25%

2nd cousin-great aunts-great uncles-great grandparents=12.5% (Jesus and John the Baptist were at least 2nd cousins)

3rd cousin-extended family conditions = 6.25%

4th cousin-extended family conditions = 3%

5th cousin - extended family conditions = 1.5%

Time spent with the individual from childhood (every day 50%, every week 14%, every month 3.2%, every few months 1%)  - multiply by top figures

Age gap with the individual, values/faith shared with the individual.....etc etc....

There are other filters too, the would reveal other heritages as well, like Nigerian ancestry (42 individuals),  Filipino (10 individuals), Mongolian (1 individual) and so forth.  No man is an "island" when it comes to ancestry and cousin conditions.

Furthermore, yes, I do agree with Ray Comfort's movie as a relationship between Nazi-Germany conditions and choosing abortion.  Now, I do understand that there ARE pregnancy problems in some cases, but the majority of the time, pregnancy is a healthy part of life, and cousins get to meet each other here on earth, and then hopefully someday meet in heaven.

Some verses to note: 

1Co_15:50  Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

Eph_6:12  For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Heb_2:14  Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

Mat_16:17  And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

Mar_15:26  And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

Charlie didn't choose his heritage or family members...... so he sings as it is ;)

So to answer the question at the top of the page could be based on statistics and the number of Jewish people actually in the USA (or any country for that matter).  2% of the USA population have Jewish heritage, so the likelihood for a Jewish relative or two is higher if a person has great great great great grandparents that lived in the USA or another country that had Jewish heritage folks.  Within 120 years-180 years (20-30 years per generation) about 2% (or based upon the heritage statistics of country) of a person's relatives within a country will reflect these things within 5th cousin conditions......some may even say 10th cousin range.....
