Did the study control for race then if genetics are a cause? ie other studies have shown those of ashkenazi descent are more likely to be schizophrenic.

I hope this isn’t taken the wrong way - id very much like to know if my genetic ancestry made me more or less susceptible to things like schizophrenia.

It could be environmental imprinting on genetics from previous generations. Of the people that I am familiar with that developed schizophrenia, there is often something traumatic in their family's past, and it is not always the previous generation (but may be from 2 or 3 generations previous).
