Finally received my results

The Sephardic however is much higher than my actual Sephardi ancestry. Could this be due to the fact Jewish groups in general are all very similar so it groups it together? (only one grandparent of Sephardi origin)

I have 40% Iberian and 20% Sephardic at FTDNA lol

Well, after uploading it to My Heritage all Sephardic vanished and my Iberian became 26% Italian + 16% Iberian + 10% North African + 5% Ashkenazi, far more logical. Still, the 4% South Central Asian there was right as it seems (turned into 4% South Asian at My Heritage).

I'm almost (or not almost) full Sephardic and I score 12%. Their algorithm isn't the best yet.

From where? Are you of the Ladino speaking Sephardis or the local-dialects-of-Arabic speaking kind?

Also I see the image has disappeared so here it is again:

FTDNA isn't very good.
