Hi Liz, I have a few questions for you.
Which company did you test with? Which DNA test showed that the highest percentage of your DNA came from Morocco? Which Island(s) in the Azores is your family from, and what is your percentage of Portuguese ancestry? The Jews that settled in the Azores from Morocco are believed to have been primarily Iberian Jews(Portuguese, Spaniards) that settled in Morocco during the Inquisition. The Moroccan(Berber) percentage of their DNA is very minor due to North African converts. The bulk of their DNA is Middle Eastern/Southern European(from Iberian, Italian, and Greek converts) I am very curious what freguesias in the Azores is your family from? There is DNA evidence to support that there was some direct DNA input to the Azores from Morocco during the settlement process of the Azores.
