As you can from the 2 examples below, my Southern Italian side get's heavily overestimated by a way too high percentage of Italian with additional MENA in varrying numbers. With raw data from AncestryDNA I even got 4.1% North African and 0.7% West African, making a total of 4.8% African :confused: which is the first time in any ethnicity test I get anything related to North Africa.

With 23andme I got over 57% Italian and an additional Middle Eastern, again making 60% of my ancestry non-Northwestern European. In all cases my Italian side get's heavily overestimated; 23andme on the other side effectively splits up the two ancestries. FTDNA, 23andme and AncestryDNA didn't find any traces of North African ancestry let alone SSA, so this must be a flaw in MH' calculator.

Any thoughts on this?

The Nigerian was noise. It's gone now.
