AB-153

Jewish Y-DNA branch AB-153

Introduction

A nice analysis was written by Chris Rottensteiner on the diversity and subgroups of L283. He reports also the parallel Jewish Indian group (Z8429). These two branches might both descend from an ancester after the start of Judaism. One branch in Jewish India and one in the Ashkenazi countries.

The Behar article reports both the Cochin Jew Israelite sample and the Ashkenazi Cohen Jew sample.

It is likely that the Byzantine Empire had groups of Jews that went in different directions. This branch is a very good example. This branch likely became Jewish in the Balkan/Greek area in Roman times. The J2b-L283 branch has his large expansion in the Balkan/Greek area, so they shared a male line ancestor in this region near 3000 BCE. The descendants of AB-153 became one of the Ashkenazi branches, but also descending branches in Sephardic groups and Bene Israel in India. A presence in the Byzantine Empire, e.g. 800-1200 CE seems likely. In the period of 1000-1200 the Jewish community was very active in international trade, and Fez, Byzantine, Egypt and India were important locations. This is the easiest scenario for branch AB-153.

This branch is in the J2b-L283-group of Jewish Branches.
This branch is a member of the Ashkenazi branches
This branch is a member of the Sephardic branches
This branch is a member of the Yemen branches
This branch is a member of the Indian branches
This branch has some matches that might be related after the start of Judaism.
