For future reference, as of this writing I am aware of 5 lines: 1) Abravanel (yDNA group unknown) Don Isaac Abarbanel, 2) Yahia/Charlap (yDNA macrogroup: R1b1a): Private User, 3) Shaltiel (yDNA macrogroup J1): Moshe Abraham Shaltiel (J-M267), 4) Dayan (yDNA macrogroup: R1a1a): Mitchell Dayan, 5) Benveniste (yDNA group unknown): Yosef "Cidellus" ibn Ferruzi'el, Nasi of Toledo, Vizier, Lt of El Cid. The common ancestor on the GENI tree of all five lines is: Abba Mari ben Ukba, 20th Exilarch

Needed: 1) a yDNA reading for the Mitchell Dayan patriline, 2) yDNA readings for the Don Isaac Benveniste patriline.

If anyone happens upon additional evidence pertaining to this discussion please post the findings here.
Next Steps: compile as many yDNA readings for the various descending lines and then see where the preponderance of the evidence rests

Most appreciative, this is wonderful.

In checking inconsistencies in my line I found a total of 44 reported (only 13 that I am able to view with the Software Program, for some strange reason) -- most of which are fairly insignificant, imho. But there are a few that seem 'critical' to me, and I wonder what others may think of them:

Hormozd III, King of Persia should be born after his parent Dinak, Empress of Sasanian Persia (a Data Conflict is also present on her profile).

Yazdegerd II, King of Persia has a birth event listed in his profile prior to his own birth date.

Fernão Mendes de Bragança, o Velho and his spouse Thereza Soares are 91 years apart (in age).

A woman, Balendukht had 1 child between the ages of 64 and 95 years old. The child in question, Dachi King of Iberia is in the direct lineage.

Yazdegerd II, King of Persia had 1 child between the ages of 0 and 15 years old. This child, Hormozd III, King of Persia is also in the direct lineage.

Data Conflicts are associated with most of the problems listed here.

Another huge concern is that some Geni glitch (?) will not allow me to open and view the entire list of inconsistencies (I can only see 13 of the 44 reported, because clicking on "Click here to load more" is unproductive.

So I really hope that is fixed soon.

Between Yosef "Cidellus" ibn Ferruzi'el, Nasi of Toledo, Vizier, Lt of El Cid and Peroz I, Shah of Persia

...41 inconsistencies are reported by Geni's relationship calculator.

Again, I am only enabled to see 15 of those, as the rest will not open with this software program.

The most critical (imho):

Hisdai Shahrijar "Sheshna" ben Bustanai, Exilarch & Gaon of Sura had a birth date after his parent's Hananya "Bustenai" ben Haninai, Exilarch & Gaon of Pumbeditha death date.

Sassanid Princess Dara Izdadwar should be born after her parent Yazdgerd III, Shah of Persia

Yehuda "Zakai" ben David, 29th Exilarch 'Judah II' and spouse Unknown are 54 years apart (in age).

Yehuda "Zakai" ben David, 29th Exilarch 'Judah II' had 1 child between the ages of 0 and 15 years old. This child, Mar Ukba ben Judah, 31th Exilarch is not in the direct lineage, but is considered a brother to the one who is ( Hizkiya "Zuṭṭa" ben Yehudah, Exilarch #30, 33 & 35, Final Gaon of Pumbeditha ).

What is a yDNA reading?

Hello Debra, I am happy to hear of your interest in this project and of your descent from the root tree (which brings the club to six, to my knowledge). To maintain my sanity, I would like to avoid delving too deeply into the inconsistencies at this stage. What I am proposing is that anyone with a claimed descent from the root tree, share the patriline yDNA signature with the group. The goal of this exercise is to see if there is one haplogroup that occurs more frequently than any other. At that point a little weed-delving may be in order on the lines that are in the most frequent group (and if warranted, come back to your list of inconsistencies). Based on a glance at your tree it seems you may be unable to test your father's patriline. If this is true, then I would encourage you to be patient in the hopes that other testable descendants may lend a hand. Keep Well, Adam.

By yDNA reading I mean nothing more than catching a glimpse of the yDNA haplogroup of a person who is believed to descend from the root tree.

tHIS IS A COOL PROJECT. i'M DESCENDED FROM KING DAVID TOO.

Thanks Adam. You are correct, I can't get a yDNA report for my father. But was informed a few years ago by email from a Family Tree DNA administrator that, based on pedigree alone, he probably would have been "M-269". (It used to be posted on his Geni profile along with an updated version from another Denman Geni relative, but both have since disappeared for some reason I was never informed of.)

Adam,
You can find Benveniste's Y-DNA results at the Sephardic Heritage project too: J1-M267 (Cohanim) and R-M269 (Iberian). As for Abarbanel I'm aware of these ones

Would love to meet up with any Haplo E matches on the David line

Regarding the Georgian/Persian Line. I had adjusted the births and deaths of some of the Georgians. It was clear many were off from primary sources. I made most births "circa" and for deaths used their known end of reign dates. However, I did not adjust the Persian line from Dachi's mother. Just a cursory look at some sources shows the line is good, just needs to move some dates to match sources.

Good job Nikolaus- still showing up as my 106th g grand dad . This makes the Bible come alive for my kids. Love it.

King David of Israel is your 106th great grandfather.

I know very little about DNA, you mentioned R-M269, that is my match Y-DNA12 match William Irwin (kit 475784). Family Tree DNA.

Do you have a GED match number William Owen?

Dr. Wilton McDonald II - Attorney & Barrister R-M269
Y-37 - (kit 475784). Family Tree DNA. is all I know

Update: I've finally manged to gather all the ydna haplogroups and here is how things stand at that moment:

1) there are two claimant lineages close enough to think about their possibly being descended from the same ancestor in Davidic times: the Yahia/Charlap and the Benveniste (R) lineages. Both are in the R1b-DF27 sub-tree and they could have had a common ancestor within the Davidic time frame. However, according to various academic papers I have read, DF27 formed in about 2479 BCE in the Western Mediterranean as part of the Celtiberian migration into Spain. Somehow, the Celtiberian Davidic ancestral line would have had to return to the Near East and join the Jewish people by the time of King David circa 1000 BCE. This doesn't seem likely to me, although 1500 years is a long time and anything is possible, I suppose. I am not aware of any evidence suggesting any DF27 sub-branches returned to the Near East, and as far as I know there aren't any ancient samples from the Near East in the DF27 sub-tree, are there? Since both the Yahia/Charlap and Benveniste are Sephardic it seems to make sense that their ydna line may have arrived to Spain with the Celtiberians and then introgressed into the Jewish population at time when intermarriage during pre-Rabbinical times. I myself am in the DF27 sub-tree and this is how I am conceptualizing my own ydna lineage.

2) according to my understanding the Shaltiel claim is based on a no longer valid patriline relationship to the Yahia/Charlap tree and can therefore be omitted from further discussion, at least for now,

3) I see no reasonable way to evaluate the Abrabanel claim using ydna since I have not seen a pedigree tying anyone alive today to the old Abrananel line; there are some Abrabanels on FTDNA and are in the J-L817 tree but I am not aware of how they connect to the old Abrabanels, so for now I am omitting the Abrabanel line from further discussion,

4) this leaves the Dayan of Aleppo claim, which seems to be the most likely Davidic ydna lineage at this moment because the haplogroup is known to have been in the Near East at the time of David and there is a genealogy in place. What would seal the deal for me would be if there are any Abrabanels who are in the same haplogroup as the Dayans. I don't expect another person in the same haplogroup as the Dayans any time soon, because theirs is a Near Eastern haplogroup and there aren't too many FTDNA testers from that area in the database.

This is how I view the research at present and would appreciate any constructive feedback.

MY LINE GOES UP FURTHER TO ABRAHAM BEING MY 108TH
GREAT GRANDFATHER...
FROM THE SPANISH JEWS COMING TO MEXICO TO ESCAPE THE
INQUISITION.
THEY CHAGED THEIR LAST NAMES...

Thanks for the information. I've looked briefly iat your ancestor report on GENI and wasn't able find your Jewish ancestor(s) there. Could you please paste the URL(s) here of the ancestor(s) you have identified as Jewish? Thanks.

I'd like to bring attention to the fact that a certain individual with the last name Williamson meantioned something about 2 years ago in reference to discovering a match to a certain historical figure and his line. If one discovered they have a match to this individual that would be deemed somewhat close?!

That one would have in my case just like Williamson described verbatim have 40 million matches in the world family tree redacted/deleted from your profile!

Once I discovered this match pretty much immediately I had 9 or 10 people send me follow requests which I accepted.

Now I no longer have a blood relationship to this historical figure on my paternal or maternal side. I only have a in-law relationship.

I had matched and followed this historical figure probably 3 close to 4 years no qualms what so ever. Then after merging my tree I find a closer relationship to this individual and not long afterwards I have 40 million matches that I followed on the world family tree all of a sudden redacted/deleted.

Then the following things I already mentioned happened the next few times I logged in?!

Hmmmmm?!

I did a search for consumer complaints about Geni there were other complaints that were rather scathing?! Look I'm not trying to stir anything I just think it's rather interesting an individual posted about this 2 years ago and out of nowhere I matched this historical figure the why he described and exactly verbatim what he said happened to me?! Lol 😆

*way not why typo

Unless someone can back up the logic with verifiable historical/genealogical references and incase I'm mistaken and wrong I'll accept it. I'll do my own due dilligent research myself to verify someone's response?!

To whom it may concern

Thank you

I agree with you Cheley. He is my 91st great grandfather from my mother side through the maternal ancestors of my 33rd great grandfather.

Baruj Hashem and peace to all of the readers or involved people, there is no need to claim anything, if the people who recognices this heritage has Hashem with in their lives. The King of Kings the Jewish Diaspora doesnt needs Royals, The Jewish World needs People to have conciousness, the world needs love, the world needs more Tsadaka, Hemet, Shalom, and Justice remember if our Meshiaj comes would like him to see this discution?
for those who claim, Pray the world needs more Jewish People and that conects more than anything with the real welth being Jewish makes us more than royals, lets claim to our ouwn Tikun to be fair Human Beings. blessings to all and I hope my words do not unconfort nobody.
