AB-480

Jewish Y-DNA branch AB-480

Introduction

This is a Cohen branch that originates in Jerba in Tunisia. In the article of Hammer et al. (2009) they had 13 samples of this group. The yfull time estimates shows that the branch migrated to Djerba in the time Carthage was still the capital of North West Africa.

The significant marker of this branch is M318.

The Cohen tradition remained stable in Djerba over a long period of time. It means that the migration of the ancestor took place near 0 CE or a little bit earlier. The oral tradition suggests an arriving date of 6th century BCE, see Djerba. History of the relation between Tyre and Israel and Tyre and Carthage makes this scenario plausible. More NGS tests might report more branches and an earlier date than the present oldest tmrca.

Other members in the M318 group

J-M318-BY96345: a person from Nort-Western Germany along the coast. One of the scenarios is that the ancestor was a member of the protestant migrations when non-catholics migrated to more tolerant regions like Ostfriesland.
J-M318-BY96345: another person J-BY96345 who did give genealogical background public
J-M318 (BY96345- and Z39271-): from Malta in ftdna
J-M318-Z39271: A person in Mexico
J-M318-Z39271 (Y125595-) Djerba Jew ERS1789485 in yfull
J-M318-Z39271-Y125595 Djerba Jews ERS1789492 and ERS1789493 in yfull
J-M318-Z39271-Y125595 A descendant of (in ftdna reported as J-PH3064) a descendant of Thomas Green, who was born in the Isle of Wight near 1634

In the parallel branch of J-Z39283 (M319-) we find a branch from Portugal (in ftdna and yfull), and a descendant on continental part of Italy (publ. Finocchio et al. 2018, reported in yfull).

You can find additional information in this Cohen paper Hammer et al. 2009 .

This branch is in the J2a-group of Jewish Branches.
This branch is a member of the Sephardic branches
