    The thing is that trying to go to habad would be defeating the purpose of what I’m asking here. The point is to have my kids married into a Yeshivish family.

    Also, having my kids married to another black person is out of the question. It would defeat the purpose of having them Merion to the Jewish bloodline to have them marry somebody who is not actually part of the Jewish bloodline. So, you can guess that that would also include Falashim.

    Ashkenazim are the First Choice Far and Away. Maybe Sephardim or mixed ashkenazim would be a second choice.

    It is not quite as simple as that. I use the DNA testing Family Tree DNA.

    The DNA inheritance is not quite linear. You see that both of my sons have the same mother in the same father but one of them is 42% black and the other is 44% black, according to Family Tree DNA. Oddly enough, the one that has more black blood actually looks like any other Han Chinese baby. The one who has slightly more Chinese blood actually looks like he has None at all.

    I do know what I’m interested in for my sons to be able to marry, and that would be a Jewish woman with the highest percentage possible of Ashkenazi blood.

    1. The family is in the United States.
    2. The mother is Han Chinese, from the mainland of China.
    3. The father is black American. 83% black, 17% White.
    4. I am the father, and I am writing this post.
    5. It happens that I had both of the sons tested. I think that the racial breakdown is something like the oldest son is 42% black, 48% Han Chinese and the remainder White. The youngest son is 44% black and 48% Han Chinese and the remainder White. It’s interesting that the younger son actually looks more like a Chinese baby.
