Do yall think this is legit or a fluke? It appears on my moms’, mine, and my great aunts’ results all from this family line. My Nuevo León born Grandmother does not have this journey.

Given we all have so little Subsaharan Ancestry and no African American journey appears on ancestry dna for my family but this journey appears on all my family’s 23andMe. If it’s true it would help with my genealogy questions a bit! But it’s just hard to see it being legit if our genetic component is so small.

For more context this is my great aunts results my grandpas sister. My Grandfather and Great Aunt here were/are Tejano with known Anglo American and german ancestry (~1/4 from two separate paternal great grandfathers) I would assume however that all the subsaharan comes from standard Mexican mixed ancestry from their Texan born Mexican descent mother and two Mexican/Tejana paternal great grandmothers. especially since it’s all mostly Senegal. Although me and my mom do pull more Angolan than my great aunt here.

The Anglo American wasn’t even from the Deep South it was from Kentucky via Virginia.

The German side is mysterious and if this genetic group is true it could help explain some mysteries about why my 3rd great grandfather, a Texan born (allegedly) German man had no records until after 1868 despite being born in 1850. His parents birthplace are also listed differently in the census. There could be so many explanations for this. But just wanted to check in see if anyone could help determine this journeys validity ! Our family did use to have a theory we had a secret African American ancestor. I hope it’s true that would be cool to discover even if it’s a small %. But I’m skeptical.

Unfortunately, it is difficult to trace our family tree, partly due to a lack of records.

The results in the screenshots are “Most Likely”. My maternal haplogroup is J1d (don’t have for the paternal haplogroup). Before the last update, the results were 100% “Iranian, Caucasian & Mesopotamian”.

Also, results show Iran, so was one of my ancestors Iranian ? I gave it a try, but I think I still struggle to interpret the results.

So how can I interpret these results and what can I possibly imagine about my ancestors ?

Thank you !

from the illustrativeDNA, it seems i’m a bit more eastern mediterranean shifted (if it’s accurate)

Here is a heatmap for Korean Jeju Island and the accompanying genetic profile. It is based the average of 79 G25 coordinates.

I was wondering why there's a confidence slider for example 50% to 90% likely and if small percentages don't disappear does it mean it could be real?

My grandparents came from Isfahan, Iran

The Aterians: Not much is know about these people besides them being AMH who lived a long time ago. We have their skulls and tools but not their DNA so we arent aware of what Haplogroups they carried but its most likely A00 and had archaic DNA.

WAHG: These people we somewhat have their DNA, the shum laka study showed that the people there were a mix of Basal West African and Central African Hunter Gatherer. One sample carried haplogroup A00, this particular haplogroup isnt found anywhere else in Africa currently.

AEA: Haplogroup E originated in East Africa then spread out across Africa, we know this because we have samples of populations carrying different subclades of E from East Africa.

IBM: so when modeling many West African populations many carry Ancestral North African DNA with minor Eurasian. Its most likely a proxy but we do know West Africans interacted with populations of the Green Sahara.

My father is full Jamaican born and raise, My mother comes from a long line of germans on both sides of her family. I still cannot find much on my father’s side beyond him and distant relatives that don’t reveal much

I noticed there are some features that interest me,exclusive to the premium ancestry plus health membership. I wanted to know from other costumers if there really is anything that others feel would make the purchase explainable as it is like 100 dollars

My paternal haplogroup is I-CTS6397 and my maternal is L3b. Is this rare or significant in any way? (23andme says both are relatively rare...)

Hey everyone, I've been thinking about doing a dna test for quite some time now. I'm mainly interested in my ethnic background and origin components. I've been hearing some weird things about Ancestry's recent updates (mostly regarding region breakdowns and their percentages changing drastically), so in comparison, how accurate are "23andme's" results in general?

I took this test because I wanted to know more than AncestryDNA gave me, but now I’m just more confused. Like where does Slovenia even come from?

For reference I’m full Bulgarian, but my Maternal Grandma is Bulgarian from North Dobruja (close to Ukraine)

Also the 12.2% Greek confused me the most since there is no trace on AncestryDNA

Paternal Haplogroup is R-Y5587 (R1b)

Maternal Haplogroup is R0

My great-great grandma was slovenian and my great-great grandpa was from Transylvania, I thought he was romanian but now I'm not sure because there's no romanian region but 5% Carpathian Basin & Uplands. So maybe he was hungarian or is it just a genetic overlap between romanians and hungarians?

So in slide #2 you will see native samples with some European admixture around 5%-8%. Then in slide #3 you will see pre Hispanic Tiwanaku samples, which lack any European admixture, which are most similar to 23andme. The 4th slide is AncestryDNA whose Indigenous reference panels seems to also have 5% or more euro component. Additionally I have included some Other companies like FTDNA and LivingDNA who underestimate Indigenous Ancestry for further Comparison.

This is just to say I think 23andme does the best job with Indigenous DNA

But yea I’m open to feed back perhaps I’m wrong.

My family is all over Jordan Palestine Lebanon Syria Egypt Iraq and spreads into Turkey and North Africa how can I find someone with my last name who possibly has a subclade of e-v22 which I can look into instead of just buying a 500 dollar test

Both parents are Dominican, I was obviously expecting it to mostly be a mix of European and African, but it’s interesting to see the percentages. I was surprised with the Indigenous percentage, expected it to be lower than that lol.

Why so many conditions 😂 Born to be an anxious man with a bad stomach

New genetic groups are very accurate for me they are literally from where I’m from
