'Ash' is Ahkenazis, I'm guessing... where are the Sephardis?

But yes, the two groups are very closely related. It's only been 80 generations or so of diaspora, though, so a high degree of homogeneity might still accomodate a certain amount of gentile-boning. You only need to look at all those Ashkenazis with red hair, others like me who look more Mediterranean but not as much as Sephardis, to see that there are other genes in the mix.
