Experts weigh in after Christopher Columbus' Italian heritage doubted
Briefly

"We have DNA from Christopher Columbus, very partial, but sufficient. We have DNA from Hernando Colón, his son. And both in the Y chromosome and in the mitochondrial DNA of Hernando there are traits compatible with Jewish origin."
"Historical records show that Columbus was born Cristoforo Colombo to Susanna Fontanarossa and Domenico Colombo... which led the world to believe he was of Italian heritage."
