Pedigrees in the Bible are talked about and they represent bloodlines. The pedigree was of the house of the father. So the tribes of Israel was counted by men. Numbers 1:18 (KJV) And they assembled all the congregation together on the first day of the second month, and they declared their pedigrees after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, by their polls.
This was the reason I had my brother do our paternal lines. What caused the DNA to begin with was the oral said that my husband's grandfather was Jewish. Yet no record or talk within the family. I was told this by a daughter of his grandpa's so his aunt.
DNA & Scripture didn't add up
The first thing completed was just the 5 generational DNA. I noticed right off the bat that it was wrong in how they did percentages of his Jewish heritage. God to me was a 100% God with the male seed. So to explain it in biblical terms, they were saying Aaron's sons were 100% but Moses sons would only be 50% Israel. You had to be married to another Jew to count for 100%. The same thing would have happened to Joseph as he didn't marry a Jew either, yet Jacob took his two sons and made them like firstborns.
It did however prove what I was told by the aunt was correct, even though they put him at 22% when first done. It is only the ancient Ydna could reveal even more, so we waited for that to be completed.
