I got my calculation for MacDonald and you wont believe what he said XD

EVEN MacDonald is telling me that my DNA is difficult to read, check it out yourself.

This is a difficult file. The African part is not clear, but is mostly western, probably somewhere near Nigeria.

Neither is the Euro clear at all. It is about 2% Native American. The best I can do is

Germany 0.6793 Moroccan 0.0317 Yoruba 0.2090 O-Ethiopian 0.0801 or
Germany 0.6784 Sicily 0.0230 Yoruba 0.2134 O-Ethiopian 0.0853 or
Germany 0.6354 Poland 0.0626 Yoruba 0.2113 O-Ethiopian 0.0907 or
Germany 0.6651 Romania 0.0351 Yoruba 0.2131 O-Ethiopian 0.0867 or
Russian 0.0260 Germany 0.6729 Yoruba 0.2119 O-Ethiopian 0.0892 or
Germany 0.6883 Tuscan 0.0109 Yoruba 0.2129 O-Ethiopian 0.0878 or
Italian 0.0064 Germany 0.6923 Yoruba 0.2126 O-Ethiopian 0.0886 or
English 0.3087 Poland 0.3879 Yoruba 0.2041 O-Ethiopian 0.0993

and THOSE ARE NOT RELIABLE! The “Mideast” on the chromosomes seems to actually be
either East coast Africa (Ethiopis) or north African.

I doubt if ANY systen current can do a really reliable job for you.

.. What do i do now? XD i probably will never really figure out where i am from 100% but he's reading some moroccan, and mostly italian for my mediterranean? that's very odd because my great grandmother's surname is Dacosta-Gomez. It's not even near italian as i heard its close 2 portuguese in origin. Also how do i intepret the numbers behind my populations?

But wow, just wow i never even knew i was THIS mixed i am concerned for my mixed'ness' XDD (and also the native american he is talking about is because i asked him how accurate my native american was haha)

[Congolese Rice]

The higher the numbers the larger fraction you are of it. ITS NOT RELIABLE!

What is reliable is that you are roughly 69% North-west Euro (Germany to British Isles),
21% West African, and roughly 10% some mix of East African (not Bantu) and
North African, with perhaps a percent or so from the north shore of the Mediterranean.

West African is a big place ... your DNA fits the whole area from the western
Central African Republic to Guinea.

wajowww, this is so confusing DX

[greasycaveman]

Who did u email and talk to this about, maybe i can ask him a question

[Congolese Rice]

Who did u email and talk to this about, maybe i can ask him a question

jdmcdona@illinois.edu

this is where you contact him and ask him about your ancestry, you have to give him your raw DNA file though in order 2 do so.

Does he deal with the actual chromosomes and which part of your ancestry influences which part of your chromosomes?

[greasycaveman]

And how long does he take to respond.

[Congolese Rice]

And how long does he take to respond.

well he has 2 calculate everything for you so i assume 15 min or so

[greasycaveman]

well he has 2 calculate everything for you so i assume 15 min or so

Who is he and how did you find out about him

[Slavic Italian]

Who is he and how did you find out about him

Respected genealogist.

[greasycaveman]

Respected genealogist.

Ok, thanks

How long did it take him? Those are not bad results. I'm going to send you something.

You look mostly Germanic, Yoruba, O-Ethiopian, with some Slavic and Sicilian contributions. Not bad at all. I am mixed as well.
