[One Name]

Man, I’m having to dig thru my brain but I read a book 30 years ago about the differentiation between Sephardic (which I recall as indigenous, darker skinned genetic original Jews, and the Ashkenazi who were largely converts(?) who went up into Europe.

Someone please beat me with a stick ; I’m no historian or scholar.

The Ashkenazi (European), Sephardic (Spanish, Greek, Turkish) and Mizrahi (Syrian, Iraqi, Iranian) Jews share more genes among themselves than they do with the populations in which they live. See this article from yesterday.
