http://www.redejudiariasportugal.com/index.php/pt/ My father has a nice match to someone of Sephardic/Ashkenzi ancestry on Gedmatch the Sephardic line traces to the Jewish community of Amsterdam. Longest block 9.7CM, total shared DNA over 16CM this persons ancestors started off in Portugal settled in Amsterdam then Curacao then to Jamaica. I also share DNA with this person from my mothers side but the Longest block is smaller. I suspect our common ancestry is before the 1500's before the forced conversions in Portugal or the expulsion from Spain in 1492, 3/4's of the Jews in Portugal after 1496 arrived from Spain in 1492 due to the Edict of Expulsion.
