Abstract
- The article discusses the genetic basis of New Mexico's crypto-Jew community. William Sanchez, a Catholic pastor at Albuquerque's St. Edwin's Church, has used science to help uncover New Mexico's crypto-Jew community. The reverend learned his own Jewish ancestry in 2001, after watching a program on DNA research and sending away for a testing kit. Like Norbert Sanchez, the pastor had long wondered about some of his family's practices, such as covering household mirrors when a family member died, that seemed different from those of people he knew.
