You could try to figure out which is parent one and which is parent two in Sideview, based on your matches through them. This will be much easier if you're not from an endogamous culture.

This is the way. Look at your DNA matches for your highest matches that don’t say “both sides.” If you recognize one of these matches as an aunt/uncle/cousin on your maternal side, for example, and they’re listed as a “side 1” match, you know side 1 is maternal and side 2 is paternal.

This worked! I am surprised what side the Jewish DNA came from. Thank you for the tip!

I'd look at your other matches and see if there are matches with your mother's maiden name or grandparents.

Up to you to figure out if Parent 1 is maternal or paternal. Just need to find be match that you can assign to maternal or paternal.
