Euro admixture in Jordanians?

[happycow]

Gedmatch results of a cousin of mine, related to me on my mothers side. This is quite a bit of Euro admixture for a Jordanian don't you think? The town my moms side of the family is from was a Crusader settlement.

What percentage of Euro do they have on their original test?

11% South Europe and 2% Europe West. We both got the same amount of Europe West but she scored 5% more South Europe

I’m assuming that’s AncestryDNA.

Yeah Ancestry. The only Euro my mother got on Ancestry was <1% Scottish/Irish and Iberian.

I've noticed Jordanians have more European input than Palestinians, but on the other hand they also have more Bedouin ancestry.

Here's a Jordanian with a lot of Euro admixture

Yeah I'm guessing most of my Euro and Bedouin admixture comes from my mothers side. Although I still need to get my dad tested, but my guess is Euro admixture is much less if any on his side. My results that show a shift towards the caucasus is likely from his side.

I have a few DNA relatives from Jordan on 23andme and they have very little Euro (0.5-1.8%). On the other hand, one Palestinian has 3.8% Euro and another who listed 4 grandparents from Palestine has 53.7% European.

Someone from 23andmeforums have also shown me a few Lebanese results and they have quite a lot of Euro (in double digits percentages).

Lebanese muslims seem to have the most European influence compared to Palestinians and Jordanians. Euro elements in my palestinian and jordanian relatives seem to vary, with some having almost none. But I do have a lot of European relatives.

My guess for my dads side not having much Euro influence is because he likely descends from recently converted Christians, and the Lebanese and Palestinian Christians seem to have less Western Europe influence

Not really, just looks like more Anatolian_N like ancestry, which is why he's getting best match with extra Iberian and Sardinian input in his oracles. Jordanians are obviously very diverse and he just doesn't fit with the Jordanian average on Gedmatch.

Indeed they are. The other Jordanian kits I've looked at in my gedmatch matches have very different results.
