On 23andMe, I'm 3.4% Italian, 0.8% Ashkenazi, 2.9% North African, 3.8% Broadly Southern European, & 0.9% Broadly European, along with 54.9% Iberian, & I noticed that most Sephardic Jews tend to score all of these regions.

My Father on 23andMe, is 0.4% Ashkenazi, 1.8% Italian, 3.6% Broadly Southern European, 1.2% North African, 0.7% Northern Western Asian, & 59.3% Iberian.

On Ancestry, I'm 0% Jewish, but I'm 3% North African, 5% Basque, & 51% Spain.

On MyHeritage, I'm also 0% Jewish, but, 13.2% Italian, 17.7% Iberian, 8.1% North African, & 4.0% West Asian.

On FamilyTreeDNA, I'm 46% Italian, 22% Iberian, & 2% Maghreb & Egypt, but also 0% Jewish.

But I wonder it this could also be Morisco or Canarian ancestry?, there was rumors that my great-grandmother was Jewish, but I was able to trace my paternal grandfathers line back to the 1400s & 1500s, & I only few a few distant Sephardic ancestors, I am aware that Sephardic ancestry is common in Mestizo/Criollo Mexicans (especially those from Nuevo Leon & Michoacan), do you guys think it's Sephardic ancestry, or Morisco or Canarian ancestry, I did found a distant Guanche ancestor from the 1400s, Canary Islands is in My father's Spanish regions, but not mine, & both my fathers & mine top Spanish region is Andalusia, where most of the Moriscos came from.
