Cooperate with existing Sefardi Beni Anousim mtDNA Research 

Dr. Ines Nogueiro from Ipatimup in Portugal and Professor Dr. Karl Skorecki Bar-Allan University in Israel

Shiloh advocated on behalf of the Bnei Anousim with the scientists above named if it would be possible to extend their current research on the following aspects:

​

• Extended current Research a 'PHASE 2 - Sefardi Diaspora Database'

to which would allow:

• Increase and collect more DNA data from Bnei Anousim in countries outside the Iberian Peninsula;

• allow people who suspect to have Anusim ancestry without strong evidences to participate on this database 

 

This could potentially help to assist identify DNA connections with the current research being undertaken by Dr. Ines Nogueiro with currently only using database from Portugal cases of people that have certain of having Jewish Anousim Ancestry.
