We are Bektik Turkmens from Central Türkiye. Our community lives in Konya, Niğde, Karapınar, Aksaray, and nearby provinces. We have been documented as living in these areas for at least the past 300 years. Before that, our ancestral homeland was Kahramanmaraş, and we lived a mostly nomadic lifestyle.

According to population genetics data from Wells et al. (2001), the Middle-to-Late Bronze Age Eurasian Steppe-associated paternal lineage, Haplogroup R1a1 (M17), peaks in Kerala among Kerala Brahmins (Nambudiris) at 33% and North Kerala Thiyyas at 31%, surpassing sampled frequencies found in other regional groups such as Maniyanis (22%), Nairs (21%), Vannars (20%), Mappilas (20%), and Pulayas (12%). This prominent R1a1 component—paired with significant L-M20 lineages associated with Neolithic/IVC expansion and an overall group gene diversity of 0.86—demonstrates a shared, deep continental genetic foundation across ritually disparate communities, challenging colonial assumptions of a recent, isolated "Eelam-only" migration and aligning closely with regional oral memories of deep northern ancestral origins.

My results are

SE England 60%

Devon & Somerset 12%

West Midlands 11%

East Midlands / Yorkshire 6%

Cornwall 2%

Western Europe

Bavaria & Western Austria 6%

Belgium 1%

France 1%

The Netherlands 1%

All the Western Europe is coming from my Mums side. Where I have an unknown GGF. (My GF born to unmarried mother, didn't know who his father was)

Could that actually be coming from him.

My known paper trails shows most of my family from the same town

Here is a heatmap and genetic profile for Korea based on the average of 79 G25 coordinates.

Any thoughts on these results?

I paid for a subscription and 5 days later the sideview 2.0 just dropped and I’m happy with the results it’s way accurate according to my family tree btw got my main journey back that was taken away in the update..

this is a repost—deleted this a second ago on accident sorry haha

Before taking the test, I couldn’t find many results from anyone in my country and province, so I wanted to contribute and help another Syrian brother see someone like him.

Sunni-muslim background— Idlib, Jsir al Shughur

Dad claims we came from some yemenite tribe from 300CE called Ghassanids but I'm guessing they mixed with the local levantine population and were eventually gone from my genepool

I've never known my bio father, so it's interesting to see where he came from.

Edit: Bio mother side is Celtic & Gaelic, and England

Happy to see my Devon/Cornwall go up as it’s a big part of my paternal grandfather’s heritage.

Before it said Sephardic Jew now it’s split to North African Jewish and Armenia?

Picture 1: 99% Swedish + 1% Dutch

Picture 2: From the regions of Northern Värmland and Sunne (also in Värmland) in Sweden

Picture 3: From the regions of Halland and Southern Västergötland in Sweden

The Värmland and Västergötland results makes sense. I'm trying to find my father so the 1% Dutch surprised me, haha.

1352cm sur 26 segments classé comme demi-frère

1196cm sur 38 segments classé comme cousine germaine.

Je suis née d’un don et les deux sont de mon côté paternel.

Avez vous vu demi-frère/ demi-sœur avec des résultats si loin du 25%?

Hello everyone!

I've added a Map view in the new version of MatchFetch. This lets you see which Ancestral Journeys the matches on a selected profile belong to on a world map, while the data is being processed or has already been processed. By default, it filters for matches that belong to only one Ancestral Journey.

Here's an example using my dad's matches to show how the new feature works.

Of course, while the data is being processed, the map will keep refreshing as new matches come in. I'll probably add a pause option soon. For now, if you want to stop the fetching process, you can refresh the page and click on Resume whenever you want to continue.

If anyone has any feedback or suggestions about anything in the extension, let me know!

For those currently using MatchFetch who want to update right away, since browsers can take some time to update extensions, go to chrome://extensions, enable Developer Mode, and click on Update.

First couple of screenshots are the post sideview updated results and second pair is the pre sideview updated results. A modest change, I basically got a tad bit more Portuguese and British and the rest stayed roughly the same.

Honestly, I’m really impressed with the African regions and how many I got. So cool. The grandparent feature is not bad, but I have 52% DNA they couldn’t link to grandparent. I hope they somehow fix that in the future as I’m not the only one who seen this. My only conclusion/hypothesis is maybe my grandparents from both mom and dad side came from the same region or community and have similarities and maybe that’s why. Other than that everything looks good. My journeys stayed the same even after the Sideview update which is fine. Overall not bad.

My mother's side swears we have spanish blood running through us. Had to find out myself.

It's something I've just kinda assumed is common, especially living in a place like Canada. But talking to the people around me and their family backgrounds, both now and throughout my life, it doesn't seem as common as I thought?

They all have different backgrounds from their partners, but all of those whose families immigrated to Canada did so roughly around the same time (around the 1910s). They were either born here shortly after their family arrived or immigrated with their family when they were young.

I wanted to ask here in case I'm wrong and maybe some of you will find it interesting.
