ftDNA trying to find an autosomal midpoint between the Iranian and NW Euro? idk, either way it just shows ftDNA is shite.

No one can save you now, you have already crossed the P.A.S.T.A event horizon!

On a more serious note I would have expected Turkish rather than Italian to be the intermediary used, may haps the pull towards the Alps and NW Europe is strong ?

haha. you're funny

When i was little, I really hated potatoes. All i wanted is rice, pasta and noodles, haha. My mum to this day cook rice the iranian way even though she's norwegian

Well, Italians have a lot of West Asian blood. If you want to get more accurate results use Gedmatch.

FTDNA 2.0 version seems more accurate than 3.0.

Cool results If you don't mind, could you post your mixed mode oracles too? As you can see Gedmatch is MUCH more useful.
