Western Prussian German scores zero percent Western Europe. Do you have any idea why?

Western Prussian is what exactly? Which area?

[cyberlorian]

Western Prussian is what exactly? Which area?

It is said "MyHeritage DNA results of my grandma. She is a German from Russia and her roots go back to West Prussia. Her ancestors migrated from West Prussia to the Planer colonies near Mariupol, thats why they are also called Black Sea Germans. Pointing out that she is from West Prussia because many other Germans from Russia came from West and South Germany, so their genetic makeup will be different."

[Peterski]

Germanized Polish obviously.

Do you have GEDmatch kit number?

[nittionia]

Wonder what their 23andMe/Gedmatch would be like, mine are like the complete opposite.

[Peterski]

Wonder what their 23andMe/Gedmatch would be like

Yeah I wonder how would dots/stars look like in 23andMe.

[Ayetooey]

Her family must of gotten assimilated by Slavs but kept there Germanic culture, or she was just a germanised Slav.

Myheritage is notoriously bad tho, it gave me a result which is genetically impossible. She should do 23andme.

You mean the other way around, her ancestors were apparently culturally Germanized Polish people.

Did you mean? "Her family must of gotten assimilated by Germans."

[Ayetooey]

Could of been either way. Her family might of originally been German, but kept on mixing with Slavs, whilst keeping their German culture. A bit like how in Turkey you have Bosniak Turks who look Turkish, there ancestors probably came from Bosnia but kept on mixing with local Turks whilst keeping their identity through the ages,

But in that case it is not called as assimilation but called as interbreeding, as far as I know.

In the video, I also think the same as Peterski. The woman might be Germanicised Polish. Because, zero percent Western Europe seemed very atypical for an ethnic German, in my opinion.

Yeah you're probably right. If her ancestors had been Germans who interbred overtime she'd have at least a small amount of German ancestry.

Germenized Baltic peoples or polishised Baltic people?

[Peterski]

Germenized Baltic peoples or polishised Baltic people?

"East European" on MyHerirage is a Slavic component, not Baltic.

"Baltic" is Baltic.

West Prussia was never inhabited by Balts, except for it eastern part (east of the Vistula).

In her results there is 70% Slavic and 15% Baltic, seems like a typical Polish result.

[Profileid]

She scored 10% western europe actually.

[Peterski]

She scored 10% western europe actually.

Which is less than average for ethnically Polish people.

[cyberlorian]

She scored 10% western europe actually.

It is British Isles. Western Europe on MyHeritage is France, Monaco, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Liechtenstein, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg.

My myheritage was the same...0 % germany..but balkan ..easteurope scandinavia.eastasia baltic..then i buy a 23andme test..23andme gives me german dna ..but only 8% balkan from 32% (myheritage)..the easteurope the same..this is a myheritage problem

The most accurate is GEDmatch because it gives you "racial" percentages rather than "geographical" like 23andMe or MyHeritage.

Here is my K13. I seem quite Germanic on Gedmatch. Thoughts Peterski?
