Here's my FTDNA results!

[GoneWithTheWind]

Shit is 23&me who left over 60% of my dna nonspecific.

23andme is good for albanians. But looking at your origin no wonder they did.

The op doesnt have any turkish, kurdish or iranian ancestors. Trust me. He just has south euro which shitty ftdna shows as caucasus and anatolian and generally middle eastern

While Ancestrydna shows balkan origin as greek/italian

Enjoy your anatolian caucasus score. If you wanna get Balkan % do 23andme

What you mean by my anatolian caucasus score?

Some Albanian who is good in genetics just messaged me that 23andme is waste of money

You mean potentia?

Yea i think ftdna is good an ima about to take it now since its down as 49$ or something like that.
And they already have my sample since i did Y37

I think FTDNA for $59 ($49 with coupon) is a much better deal than 23andMe (it's obvious us Albanians will score high on Balkan at 23andMe being Balkan folks).
I have seen Albanians on FTDNA MyOrigins do score about 20% 'Asia Minor', but it's inaccurate because it's the same for everyone. FTDNA's 'MyOrigins' ethnicity estimate is supposed to be updated, so I expect this to change and be assigned more properly. In addition to finding autosomal relatives, one can can download their raw data and upload to GedMatch to see how they compare to other people, no matter where they tested.

Italians and Albanians on ftdna get caucasus anf anatolian. Even greeks do. And even Serbs. It counts some the of the ancient Balkan as anatolian and caucasus. A waste of money.

If 23andme is a waste of money then so is everything else. Atleast it has a Balkan category.

Balkan is nothing more than Slavic. It should not even be a category. Besides, he can up load his data on GEDmatch and break it down to get more specifics.

So whats the point of testing for a company that counts some of the south european as asian minor? When its obvious its not ancestry of something recently. Its most likely just noise then.

23andme isnt the only one that has a own balkan. There are others with similar.

Ancestrydna shows balkan as italian and greek. Also inaccurate and a waste of money

You can't know that for certain without breaking it down with calculators. Like I said most do not know but 3 generations of their family at best.

Balkan is slavic? So why dont slavs get high balkan then? Except for some south slavs. Albanians get the highest. You are unaware obviously.

Balkan is a category that is very needed.

Balkan is ancient balkan component, its not italian as ancestrydna predicts it, neither is it caucasus/anatolian

Nothing to do with slavs here. What are u even talking about...

If those results were accurate then they would plot with ppl of asia minor but they dont.
You see albanians get high asia minor and 100% tuscan on ftdna
Tuscans get similar results. Even a thracian clusters next to tuscans.

So according to you tuscans and albos have recent asia minor origin?
