23andme only entered Step Five (Initial results) today, so I will update later with her coa's and some of the "latter" stuff. For now, the wee basics and her raw data through some of the key eurogenes calculators-

mtdna: N1b1b

She clusters within the "Eastern European" category, but within no specific sub-category sample-base (close to the outer walls of the Polish one, though)

Your MTDNA is not typical Jewish. N1b2 however is a common Ashkenazi Jewish marker. Here is a graph about N1b.

Speaking of which, her mtdna is a bit puzzling to me. Her mother was Polish, so a couple of scenarios come to mind-

1. There is a distant maternal ancestor from the Caucusus or near east
2. Ashkenazi with a rare subclade of N for them(is this one known among them at all even?)
3. Neolithic Farmers

Fair enough but you mentioned that her mother is Polish. It's rare but still present in Europe. There is also a significant chance that it was brought by a Neolithic farmer in the Neolithic period.

The German/Scando seems real but dwarfed by the Eastern Euro so it doesn't really show in autosomal. Did you expect the Ashkenazi, and can you try Jtest ?

Im not sure how really better for Eastern K36's oracle is, even i get 3 or 4 Germanic pop in it. Conservative is a bit surprising as about everything goes into simple "Broadly Euro".

I'm new to this but it seems to me that judging by the relative equal values of baltic and north-atlantic (30 something both) it is quite clear that she's a combo of west and east european. People of eastern european descent only, score considerably more baltic and those of west european extraction considerably more north-atlantic. Or am I wrong and there are ethnicities that score equal percentages of north-atlantic and baltic?

That would be central-East Germans, Czech and West Hungarians who would have that perfect balance between N.Atlantic and Baltic in Europe, about 30% each

I think it adds up nicely with what I thought. I have always been told she is Danish, German, Polish...and some rumored Russian Jew. My mtdna haplogroup is not Commonly Jewish, but I think it stands to reason a minority of this very Middle Eastern haplogroup had it. In any case, my maternal grandmother's father was the one who said this to her (her mother died long before), so it could very well be some Ashkenazi from him. And such would not show up on my mtdna, and my curious mtdna is independent of this.

It surprises me just how dwarfed her Germanic components are. My mother's paternal great grandparents emigrated from Denmark, yet on her COA Denmark is QUITE far down the list. If I never knew their was Scandinavian ancestry, I would have brushed the Denmark selection aside as noise of some kind. She even has Romania much further up the list. Her Southern European seems high, to me. My dad gets like a .20% Balkan reading, while she gets almost 3% Balkan on Speculative, I believe. I wonder if that's in a normal range for Slavs. I simply wonder, and have not much point of reference.

I was semi-expecting some wee bit of Ashkenazi, but never thought the family "lore" had much evidence to back that notion up- but alas she does get Some amount across all modes (spec, stand, conserv). I might guess she is maybe 1/8 or 1/16 so Ashkenazi in "actuality"?

I tried JTest...she only scores like 5% Ashkenazi on there.

Anything else jump out at you about her results? I respect your judgements, good sir :)

You can use they Countries of Ancestry tool for Jewish ancestry, if you click the Ashkenazi Jewish box..

All evidence points to Eastern European in court. :)

Right. At 5cm's, the "declared" spot is counted at 3.9-5.0%..for instance.

It could very well be nothing. Much higher than what was shown for my dad's. It could very well be that it's normal for folks of eastern European descent to get a lot of Ashkenazi matches.

Far as I know, her mother was Polish (with one or more side being Polonized but from lands east of modern Poland), and her father was 1/2 Danish, 1/2 German. Do her results to you look fairly normal when considering her ancestry?

That is high to me. But it might be like that in regular Eastern European from places like Poland.

Makes sense in the ancestry you just provided, in the results throughout the thread.

The east med isn't that high across all tests, it would be totally average for a central German but since the Altantic is low and the Baltic too high it doesn't look pred German for 23. You also get a bit of real "Middle_Eastern" on EUtest so it might be based on that you get Ashkenazi, it's clear 23 doesn't use that different calculators to make their AC, they have their own but the reading should look the the same overall. The curious part is she doesn't really have a high west asian wich is often linked with East-med for Ashkenazi, it's also pretty average for North Europe so a few generations lowered it enough, it's probably real just relatively ancient through some Polish ancestry.

Interesting. What is the threshold for "real" middle eastern on eutest though?

It's interesting, her AC on 23andme scores 5.5% Ashkenazi on spec, 5.0% on Stand, and 1.5% on Conserv. And Gedmatch calculators only pick up hints of it Slightly. Interestingly, on 23andme's surname view, ALL of the names are frequently Jewish ones. I'll attest that I suppose to just how inbred Ashkenazim are.

It's something between the east med / Middle eastern and Ashkenazi. I think the closest to a full Ashkenazi is one result in the first page, scoring high on it so there might be some truth with this component, also spreads on the eastmed/Mid East.

Unless you are South Euro i don't think you can score more than 1 or 2 % of Mid eastern and +5% Ashkenazi without real recent ancestry, but that's just my observation from a few people.
