Our DNA Matching Pashtuns of Afghanistan and Pakistan
![]() |
Pashtun People |
Our Goldfoot line's Y haplogroup DNA testing was labeled as Q-L245 when we started.
Is Q-L245 found in modern Arab populations? Yes
Is Q-L245 found in modern Anatolian populatons? Yes
Is Q-L245 found in modern Iran and Iraq? Yes
Is Q-L245 found from the modern locations of the Ancient city of Ur down to the tip of Saudi Arabia and Oman? Yes
Does that cover the places where ancient Israel, Judah, and Sumaria were? Yes.
There you are. I figure we were in Ur, now a part of Iraq, where Abraham was found to be in the Bible. We were with him in his journeys, maybe married into the family or as a servant, for Abraham, I expect, would have been a J1, of the Cohen gene, for Moses is a direct descendant of his as well. We wound up in Egypt with the rest, and were taken by the Assyrians in 721 BCE eastward again, where Abraham originally came from. Those of the northern tribes taken by Assyrians were called the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel. My family became one of the Ashkenazi Jews that went to Germany instead.
Questions were answered by Rebekah Canada, leader of our group on FTDNA.
My brother's Y haplogroup titles have been updated through various stages of higher testing:
1. Q1b1a
2. Q-(M 242)
3. Q-(M 378)
4. Q-L245
5.Q-Y2200
***6. QBZ67
I have found that at the level of testing of 12 alleles of Q, my brother matches:
1. someone from Republic of Dagistan, Kaitak
2. someone from Republic of Dagistan, Avar
3. someone from Turkey
4. someone with an Arabic name
5. someone from Baghdad
And now, it has been found that many Pashtuns from Afghanistan and Pakistan share Q-M242.
"Paragroup Q-M242 (xMEH2, xM378) (of Haplogroup Q-M242 (Y-DNA)) was found at 16.3% in Pashtuns. Haplogroup Q-M242 is also found at a frequency of 18% in Pashtuns in the Afghan capital of Kabul.
"Kabul is the capital of Afghanistan as well as its largest city, located in the eastern section of the country. According to a 2015 estimate, the population of the city was around 3,678,033 which includes all the major ethnic groups. Wikipedia. So our matches are 18% of the people of Kabul, the Pashtuns.
"Over the past decade, Kabul has become one of the world’s fastest-growing cities. The toppling of the Taliban in 2001 and the hope of increased security and economic possibilities enticed many Afghans to move here: people displaced by fighting in the countryside, refugees returning from Pakistan and Iran, and hordes of labourers simply looking for a better life."
"The Pashtuns (ethnic Afghans) make up the largest ethnic group in Afghanistan, comprising between 42% and 60% of the country's population. Their main territory, sometimes called Pashtunistan,[by whom?] is between the Hindu Kush mountains in Afghanistan and the Indus River in neighboring Pakistan, where they are the second largest ethnic group. After the rise of the Hotaki dynasty in 1709 and the Durrani Empire in 1747, Pashtuns expanded by forming communities north of the Hindu Kush and elsewhere in Afghanistan.
The term "Afghan" is synonymous with the ethnonym "Pashtun" and has been mentioned as early as the 3rd century, referring to the tribes inhabiting the lands south of the Hindu Kush around the Sulaiman Mountains."
Pashtuns make up an estimated 27.7 million (15%) of Pakistan's total population. The largest urban population of Pashtuns is interestingly found in the southern coastal city of Karachi with a fluctuating population estimated up to 7 million. This is then followed by Peshawar, Quetta, Rawalpindi, Islamabad, and Lahore in descending order
One characteristic my father had was a cleft in his chin. I just saw that this morning on a Middle Easterner. Another thing is that my brother, myself and my 1st cousin Goldfoot are all left-handed. I wonder what the % of our matches of Q also have this left-handedness. It sure makes writing Hebrew from right to left easier! Are there any other lefties in our family? Maybe it's from our grandmother's Jermulowske side.

קן Bani Israel and Pashtuns history
There are different tales and traditions for pashto language but according to researchers, it is the summation of different languages. Pashto language includes words of Hebrew, Persian and Sansikrit languages but it is a Samtic language which is one of the ancient languages "According to Mr.Jostan (Italian historian), Ghauris, Pashtuns and Ashkanis are all Bani Israelis.
According to Alfinston, "Afghan is a modern name. They are the descendents of the Afghana who was the son of the King of 'Bani Israel'. And their history is coupled with the history of Jews. After prison, the children of Afghana were separated into two groups, one got settled into Ghaur (Afghanistan) and the other near the suburbs of Makkah."
Exile & Prison of "Bani Israel":
In 771 B.C., the first group of 'Bani Israel' were exiled which included the descendents of 'Robin' and 'Jad'. Their King was "Ghauria". They were known as 'Ghauri' due to their king Ghauria. First of all they were brought to Nanwa. Then they were sent to Eastern Iran, Kharaman and the valley of Indus. The Pashtuns tribe originated from this Ghauri family, who were the descendents of Hazrat Bin Yameen bin Jacob bin Isaac bin Abraham.
In 680 B.C., 200000 one hundred and fifty (2,00,150) people of 'Bani Israel' were sent to Iran, Kharaman and Sinah. One hundred years later in 580 B.C.E 100000 'Bani Israel' men were exiled and they settled in Babul and Nanwa. They spent 70 years as slaves and then left their country towards eastern countries as nomads. The Pashtunss (Pathans) became nomades in 580 B.C.E till now. These were the people who were first called Bani Pakht, then Pakhtoon, Ghauria, Pathan, Afghan and all Pashtuns tribes .
King Sirus sarted sending 'Bani Israel' to their homeland Jerusalem in 550 B.C.E. 42,360 Israelis came back to Jerusalem. Remaining were living in Iran till 330 B.C.E It is to be noted that at that time Iran had 22 provinces. Kabul, Zabul, Ghaur, Kharasan, etc. were its distinct provinces. In this way the grand fathers of the pashtun tirbe got settled in Kharasan and Ghauristan. The history remembered these nomads, ( refuges ) and exiled people as "Ghauri". The valley of Ghaur is present in Syria. In pashto language, mountains are called 'Ghur' & 'Ghauroona' while 'Ghauri' means mountainous people. all the Jews went back to to Jerusalem after Sirus gave them permission.Only about 50 000,as stated earlier.The rest moved East towards Iran and Afghanistan.
"According to Nawab Akbar Khan Hoti ("Pathan a misname for an Afghan"), "The words Afghan and Pashtun are used together which is a delusion. The word "Afghan" is used particularly for the Israeli tribe. However, Pathan is a word of Sanskrit language which was used for the 'Parthees' by the ancient individuals of Sub-Continent. 'Afghan', being the descendents of Jacob, resembled in dress, habits and physical shape to Parthees. Thus the words 'Afghan' and 'Pathan' are in use."
From Ethnic historic references, they are the descendents of Sarooog bin Bin Yameen bin Jacob (Israel). All Pashtuns (Pathan) and Afghan tribes are Bani Israelis. The historians think that Ghauri are Pashtuns (Pakhtoons) by race and their language is Pashtu.
According to Afghans, a group of 'Bani Yahooda' tribe ran away from the prison of Bakht Nasr and came to Ghaur valley for refuge. "
The homeland was Jerusalem Their second homeland was Nanwa and Babul as prisoners. and From Nanwa to Eastern Iran. From Iran to Kharasan, Kabul, Ghaur, Ghazni, Logar, Shalgar and Pagman. . They migrated from Kharasan and Ghauristan to United India.
The Ancient Language:
The historians have no doubt in recognizing the ancient language of Pashtuns tribes. The original language of the tribe was "Pashtu ". Language is always affected by the regional atmosphere. The language of the natives tribes changed from time to time for many reasons.
During the B.CR. era, Hebrew was spoken. And for some time, Arabic was spoken when they were in Syria.
When King Bakht Nesar sent them to Iran, then their language turned to Persian instead of Hebrew and Arabic .
When these people settled into Afghanistan, Kabul, Ghazni, Ghoristan etc. their language was changed to Pashtu.
