Well, the Inquisition in the 1600 took care of anything Jewish in Spain. Many Sephardic Jews went back into the Middle East regions, and some settled in the Netherlands and in the UK.
Part of my mom's family was from the Netherlands, and that is how I got a healthy dash of Sephardic DNA alongside my mostly Ashkenazi DNA.
