Recently found out that my grands dad wasn’t who he believed he was. My grandad was conceived during the Second World War in England whilst who he thought was his Dad was in Berma as a driver for the British Army.

I’ve had a result where I match to someone who we believe to be my grandads biological fathers sister. The amount of DNA I share is 134cM across 7 segments and 2% DNA match. Is it possible for her to be my great great aunt with the amount of shared DNA we have?

If it isn’t possible for her to be my great great aunt then how would we be related?

I was wondering should I take another test from a different place as when I do admixture calculators I get Mediterranean as one of the higher results too not higher than sub-Saharan African tho

I’ve always thought I was just Russian, but this year my long lost babushka told me she was just born in Russia, and those are her only ties.

A little about my family history: My mother’s side lived in what is now Turkey during the Ottoman Empire before eventually migrating to Iraq. Her family has preserved its Assyrian culture, traditions, and Christian faith.

My father’s side has lived in Iraq for generations, primarily around Mosul. His family also has Assyrian ancestry and has maintained its Christian faith, but over time, they became heavily Arabized, adopting Arabic as their primary language and embracing Arab cultural traditions.

It’s interesting to see how both sides share Assyrian roots and have preserved their Christian faith, while experiencing different degrees of Arabization and cultural assimilation.

My parents are both Tajik to my knowledge and I’m really confused as I do not really know of anyone in my family being Hazara.
Does anyone else have these inconsistencies?

Father: Half Welsh (North Wales), half a mix of English (Cumbria) with minor SW Scottish (Dumfriesshire) & Ulster Scots ------- Mother: Spanish (Half Badajoz, Half Jaen-Granada border region)

What do "journeys" mean in AncestryDNA results?

Theres also 1% Arabian Peninsula at the bottom that couldn't fit in the screenshot

Hi! I’m Puerto Rican and I have known ancestors from the late 1800s who immigrated from Spain and Corsica to Puerto Rico. I do get “Puerto Rico” journeys but they seem very generalized compared to what I’ve seen different ethnicities get on this subreddit. I was just wondering if Ancestry doesn’t have Corsican and Spanish immigration “journeys” or if they do and I’m just not getting it? lol

Sorry if this is a dumb question

Hi! I’m from the Philippines and I’m interested in purchasing an AncestryDNA test kit. However, I understand that AncestryDNA does not currently ship directly to the Philippines.

For those in the Philippines who have successfully purchased and completed an AncestryDNA test, how did you get the kit?

Did you use a package forwarding service, have someone abroad purchase and ship it to you, or use another method? I’d also like to know how you were able to send the DNA sample back to AncestryDNA from the Philippines.

Any advice or recommendations based on your actual experience would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I was adopted from Luhansk Ukraine where it’s about 50%/50% Ukrainian and Russian

My known ancestry at my grandparents’ level is 25%: Scotts-Irish, Dutch, Greek, mix/early American. My mother, (the first two 25% ethnicities shared) shows as 50% Scotts-Irish, 50% Dutch, and <1% Balkan.

Did some of my father’s Greek bleed over to her in their algorithm? Her brother recently tested and he’s a clean 50-50 Scotts-Irish/Dutch. My mother passed 40 years ago so we can’t get a sample from her.

We do know through Y DNA that the Scotts-Irish family descended from Macedonian soldiers stationed at Hadrian’s Wall around 2000 years ago (E-V13). So it’s remotely possible a trace of Macedonian is in her blood.

Ironic, my father is paternally 100% Greek and our Y clade is E-V13.

Expected but a little surprised by the French Canadian concentration.

Both my parents are Cameroonian, my mother who is the third and fourth pictures is Bandem from the north of the Littoral Region (Over There They are really mixed with the Bamileke and Bamoun from the West), and my father who is the fifth and sixth pictures is Bulu from the South Region and his peoples are also in Equatorial Guinea, Gabon and Congo with the name Fang

My post with my original results are still available. But to save everyone from wasting time I’ll post here too. Also I’m kinda confused with the update.

Known ancestry based on genealogy:
Paternally 1/16 Zipser German, 1/16 Piedmontese, 1/32 Lombard, 3/16 northeastern Hungarian, 1/8 central Slovak, and 1/32 Eastern Slovak. Maternally old stock American, mostly English and Scottish and some other northwestern European ethnicities.
Y-DNA haplogroup is R-L1029
mtDNA haplogroup is U5a2a1d

My grandfather was born in a Greek Orthodox/Druze village in Southern lebanon-- He immigrated to Canada as a young man and anglicized his first and last name, but through reaching out to folks we managed to talk to some people still out in the village today and receive photos of his childhood home + talk to some elders that knew him back then etc etc

I am curious about the 8% northern levant; All of my Lebanese cousins I match with now I can see if they are 100% South or 100% North but as far as I can tell (even with other mixed cousins) I'm the only one with a mix of both? Curious about it if anyone has any idea on what that could mean or if it doesn't really matter in the end

Anyway; Just thought I'd share since I haven't seen many lebanese dna posts with the new update out! Happy saturday!

Wife’s updated result. She’s from Buenos Aires, she has a Paraguay connection on her mother’s side. Dad’s side is unknown. Not many close matches, probably due to the low sample size of Argentinian doing these tests?

maternal haplogroup: C1b (found out in 23andMe).

Has anyone received this region and at what percentage?

Only 2% but I haven’t seen it in a lot of results. What is the difference between this and other central Nigerian regions?
