Am I 1/3rd Spanish?

[Boudin]

Hello, this is my first post here. I believe I am at least 90% French but 23andMe says I'm 30% Spanish.

Here are my Eurogenes K13 and K15 coordinates:

K13,38.85,19.99,20.91,6.11,6.63,2.88,1.99,0.1,0.89,1.64,0,0,0

K15,29.47,20.31,8.43,8.52,17.82,4.97,4.5,2.02,1.88,0,0.68,1.39,0,0,0

23andMe is wrong, right?

I mean you could be, but I would not guess it on k13 and k15 results, but am no expert, here are people who are good at this suff, they can probably help you with this

Yes, 23andMe is probably wrong. You should not take its results literally.

[Boudin]

It said you're almost 30% Spanish too?

[J.S.]

It said you're almost 30% Spanish too?

Yep. 70%French/German and 30% Spanish/Portuguese, which does not make sense. By the way, 23andMe didn't even detect any matches from theses countries.

"Spanish or Vanish"

[Boudin]

No sense at all! They matched me with Brittany. Apparently I have 7 relatives there.

[Brás Garcia de Mascarenhas]

It is potentially accurate when we are talking about 30% and not just 3%. How far back can you trace your family genealogy? Spanish ancestry among Cajuns is fairly common and 23andMe tends to trace the last 8 to 11 generations pretty well.

Some French people may get a mix of Iberian and French & German. Your Gedmatch oracle:

Your results don't look Spanish influenced at all.
