Welcome!
The Jewish E3b Project is open to all E3b males from Ashkenazi and Sephardic backgrounds with KNOWN paternal Jewish lineages.
The E3b haplogroup has been observed in all Jewish groups world wide. It is considered to be the 2nd most prevalent haplogroup among the Jewish population.
According to one major paper,
Contrasting patterns of Y chromosome variation in Ashkenazi Jewish and host non-Jewish European populations
E-M35, which defines the E3b haplogroup, is considered to be the second highest, next to J, for "Founding Jewish Lineages" in Europe.
It is found in moderate amounts in all Jewish populations, from Ashkenazi, Sephardic, Kurdish, Yemen, Samaritan and even among Djerba Jewish groups.

E3B LEVITES: STARTED 06/22/2006
It has also been observed in moderate numbers among individuals from Ashkenazi, Sephardic and Samaritan backgrounds that contain the E3b haplogroup, having a tradition of descending from the tribe of Levi, suggesting that the E3b Levites may have existed in Israel before the Diaspora of 70 C.E.
This project is to invite all individuals that have a paternal tradition of descending from the tribe of Levi, to see how different or similar their haplotypes markers are and if patterns can be observed.
