Sikeliot's FTDNA results! (Am I part Crypto-Jew?!)

[Sikeliot]

VERY different from my mother's results:

1) No SSA.
2) I have Levantine, and Jewish.

Weird, I thought you'd have more EE than that. Anyway, regarding these results and your short statured gracile med phenotype then these results makes sense :laugh:

[Sikeliot]

Weird, I thought you'd have more EE than that.

I am exactly a quarter Polish, so it makes sense.

[Guapo]

Thought you were more

where you from originally? imean like your country of origin

[Sikeliot]

US.

Mom is Polish and Portuguese (minor SSA via Cape Verde, which I did not score but she did), dad is Sicilian.

[Guapo]

hes a mixed american

[SupaThug]

How come NO SSA at all?

[Faklon]

Claim Israeli citizenship, I can already picture you in the bureaus of Mossad posting tanned Sicilians and telling me how bad,ugly and alpha I am.

[Berahthraban]

Interesting, it's certainly possible. But maybe it doesn't have to be crypto, 6% is not too much. It could for example have been your grandfathers grandfather, do you have all information about ancestors that far back?

I suspect it is due to Levantine affinity in Sicily.

[Sikeliot]

I just did not inherit it. Some calculators I do not score it, but my mother always does. I want my grandmother to test but she wouldn't, she doesn't want to know what she is :lol:

[Guapo]

probably, will you do ancestrydna?

[Berahthraban]

I suspect it is due to Levantine affinity in Sicily.

I thought about that too, but I had the impression that it is very easy to pin point ashkenazi jewish admixture, read something about it on 23andme. But still, what you say makes sense.

[SupaThug]

Don't you score SSA on 23andMe?

[Journeyman26]

I went ahead and ordered the autosomal transfer on ftDNA... how long did it take for you?

[MisterGaga]

The FTdna Ashkenazi category is not as reliable as the one in 23andme (which is very telling and is based on segments in chromosomes). Many Meds/MENAs score Ashkenazi on Ftdna due to affinities.

[Sikeliot]

Don't you score SSA on 23andMe?

Yes.

[Longbowman]

No, you're not. FTDNA is terrible.

[Guapo]

No, you're not. FTDNA is terrible.

So what would you recommend?

[Longbowman]

So what would you recommend?

23andme.

[Pjeter Pan]

23andme.

I been thinking about taking ftdna to find out my L2* Subclade and only for that. Waste of money tbh

[Pjeter Pan]

Congrats on your results sikeliot

[Annie999]

So you dont have SSA after alll
Congrats on the results!

[Gooding]

Congratulations!

[Mortimer]

congrats. i really dont know but i would take it with a graint of salt. it might be just part of east med ancestry

[Guapo]

their y-dna testings are another thing compared to their "myorigins". They're the only company that does marker tests and Big Y in your part of the world.

[Sikeliot]

So you dont have SSA after alll
Confrata on the results!

Well it is part of my ancestry but not in my results because I guess I didn't inherit it. This is like how some siblings come out different from one another.

[Sikeliot]

it might be just part of east med ancestry

I suspected this, yes. It is clearly linked to the 5% Levantine.

[Annie999]

I just did not inherit it. Some calculators I do not score it, but my mother always does. I want my grandmother to test but she wouldn't, she doesn't want to know what she is :lol:

My grandma doesn't want to get tested either, whats with grandmas and their adversion to DNA?

[Annie999]

I just read you said you did scored SSA in 23andme, Is that right? If so, how come you test some SSA in one study and not the other?

[Sikeliot]

I think it is small enough to get sucked into other clusters that already have SSA in them.

[Anglojew]

Mazel Tov. You're a Polish Jew like me.

[jtoml3]

I might jump in here if I can be any help. I also score 6% Ashkenazi on MyOrigins however I have a maternal third great grandfather who was Polish Jewish. I score 2% Ashkenazi on 23andMe which is probably more accurate. Here are my FTDNA results.
