The South Italian and Tuscan components suck up a lot of Near Eastern input (if you see the results for Middle Easterners on LivingDNA with no known European ancestry, they score some of both categories), so LivingDNA often results in lower estimates for MENA input than other genetic testing services. The only other Sicilian I have seen is from Catania and you have 3x the Middle Eastern that he has. I think in Sicily, this is higher as you go inland and toward the center of the island.

The North Italian and even British/Irish and Scandinavian might be brought by Lombard ancestors, there were Lombard towns in your part of Sicily.

Oh yes, my haplogroup is E-M78 and my subclade E-L677.

I did know haplogroup E1b1b is very common in Enna. Is your subclade more of Balkan origins, or more MENA do you know?

I think more MENA but I found people in England and France with the same subclade.

I sent you a list of E1b1b subclades if you are able to tell me which it is. The name E-L677 is no longer used.

Pietraperzia is a Sicilian Lombard town. Your Gedmatch suggests to me you are roughly half indigenous east Sicilian and half North Italian (Sicilian Lombard). Given your hometown I'm not shocked.
