Gedmatch:. Are your parents related

My both parents are half Dalmatian islanders, and islanders are said to be inbred but luckily I'm not at all.

I wouldn't think so since my dad was a peninsular Spaniard and my mom is Canarian (although genetically they are basically peninsular Spaniard and Portuguese + minor guanche) but my parents both come from small towns where most of my ancestors lived for centuries so I wouldn't doubt there was some inbreeding happening....

it's so likely that I'd say yes it happened. For example do you know your 3rd or 4th cousins? what stop you from hooking up with them without knowing? Anyway, 3rd, 4th cousins are removed enough.

I seriously doubt my parents are related in any way (if so it would have to be reaaaally distant, my mom is mostly colonial Canarian from what I can tell in my genealogical research) but yeah I don't doubt that inbreeding happened, especially on my paternal line, because the town my dad came from has a whole population of....35!

dear Lord...

In any case every human have cases of inbreeding in the past, cause if we multiply our ancestor by two, by the middle ages we end up with a number higher than the number of people alive, which is impossible.

Mine:

Largest segment = 0 cM
Total of segments > 7 cM = 0 cM
No shared DNA segments found
This analysis indicates that your parents are probably not related within recent generations.

Makes sense, my parents are from two different parts of the country.

Yes. The pedigree collapse is present everywhere. Is it remarkable pointing out inbreeding 300, 500 or 1000 years ago and should we call it inbreeding? Gedmatch's default value is 7 cM, but it would be smaller, f.ex. 5 cM. They probably have a good reason to use 7 cM, because homozygous randomness tends to increase in smaller blocks faster than heterozygotes. One or two random blocks are not a strong evidence, so Gedmatch gives reliable results only for prominent inbreeding.

0 cM for my parents

Father 23andME

Largest segment = 13.7 cM
Total of segments > 7 cM = 13.7 cM

This analysis indicates that your parents may be distantly related.

Father FTDNA

Largest segment = 13.7 cM
Total of segments > 7 cM = 13.7 cM

This analysis indicates that your parents may be distantly related.


They are all of the same population, about 8000 inhabitants at present, although they are only a quarter of a century old.

Makes sense. Only way to make it happen was if some Italian common ancestor, but since families are from different regions...

[Kaspias]

This counts for every part of Turkey, I know people from Black Sea area, Western amd Southern Turkey who married relatives. The grandmother of my brother in law who is a Balkan Turk said to me that they also have marriages between relatives when she told me her family stories, I am not a Balkan Turk so I can’t say anything about that, also besides of the family of my sisters husband I never met Balkan Turks, so I trust to Kaspias too, maybe it changes every region or whatever, idk.

Marriages between relatives were very common everywhere in Turkey, nowadays they marry at most someone from the same village, only very rural people let their children marry with relatives.

No, marrying a relative is something discrediting here. See that Thrace has no marriage relative at all. This is due to the reason the samples I collected are still living in Bulgaria and Greece. However, in some cases which applies Deliorman and Makedonya Turks, in the condition of early migration to the Anatolia, moreover, if their village is surrounded by Anatolian Turks, a few of them have preferred to marry with cousins down to 4-5h Cousin apparently. Deliorman_42 and Deliorman_55 are from Afyon, for example, and migrated following the Russo-Turkish War in 1887.

Makedonya_17 is an outlier, on the other hand, he has a Yörük surname "Keçeli." However, I didn't talk with him for more details.
