What does it mean?

[Noxv]

So recently i did a DNA test and the thing that is confusing is that North Ossetian is on nr 1, does this mean that my ancestry is Ossetian?? I dont know much about these tests so if someone could clarify what "Population source" and "Mixed Mode Population Sharing" is then i would appreciate it.

My Y-DNA is G2a3b1a1b L1266 and last time i checked G2a is only about 5.5% of the Chechen haplogroup.


here are the results (GedMatch)

it doesnt (necessarily) mean that you are ossetian . it just means that your results match the best with the ossetian average from the spreadsheet of the calculator

I also get Azeri as first match even though I am not Azerbaijani
