Cool results .
In your oppinion which tests is better the latest Ancestry or 23 and me.
I plan to do either of these tests soon but trying to choose which one would be better.

I like both equally, but I've grown to like Ancestry better in terms of its regional breakdown and genetic communities. Seems more accurate with the update.

For its ancestral migration patterns, family/ancestor information and dna breakdown; I'd get ancestrydna.

For health reports, neanderthal ancestry and constant community updates with new physical traits/genetic dispositions; I'd get 23andme.

I don't consider them Australians, and neither do they. Besides that would make me third generation, as my grandparents came here in 1961, ridiculous.

I don't think you should be considered fully Australian unless all 4 grandparents were born here, at least.

I was just stating it from a "what is considered an Australian citizen point of view". My parents migrated here and my dad considers himself very Australian as do I. Very interesting that you consider yourself only first generation.

There's no Australian ethnicity. About 1/3 of the pop is foreign-born according to a quick Internet search. You are Australian if you were born there and have Australian citizenship.

There are some people that have been here for generations and are not even really sure of where their family originally came from just some vague notions of "England and I think we have some Irish etc" so they are Australian IMO. I've been here for most of my life but I never say "I'm Australian" even though there are people here a lot less years than myself but consider themselves just Australian. Some people come as adults and consider themselves "Australian". It is just an individual thing. I have my own identity and don't really care what other people label me. Some people insist I'm Australian because I've been here most of my life and when in Ireland some consider me Irish and some don't. I don't have any identity issues myself. In Australia they are very inclusive and if you went to school here and came out as a kid like I did they consider you an Aussie. Some famous Australians like Olivia Newton-John, Mel Gibson and ACDC were not born here but are considered Australian. I personally think if you were born overseas you have to consider that country as part of your identity as well but people have different opinions. I like Australia and think it is a great country and most of my experiences are here but I still identify as Irish and know the history, culture, genetics etc. Sometimes I think the diaspora of an ethnicity can feel more attached than people that have always lived in their country of origin.

Luckily I don't have any conflicts though because Australian and Irish culture has a lot of similarities and they are both western countries so there is no clash of civilisations or identity issues going on. :) Australians don't have any issues with Irish either so you don't have any problems integrating and your children definitely won't.

Thank you for educating me about Australia and Australians.

I didn't mention an Australian ethnicity, but there is an Australian people at least approaching an ethnicity, that is the Anglo-Celtic Aussies whose identity and mixed ancestry goes back in this country to Colonial times, and whom the formal Australian nation was founded by and for, until the floodgates were opened to everyone else post-war. People who are first generation are not as Australian as multi-generationals with roots in the country, it's nonsense to suggest they are. None of my family were Anzacs at Gallipoli or in WWII, which is something central to Australian identity.

I'm sorry, sir, I didn't mean to be smug. I understand what you mean, however I think that would better apply to the US, 'cause the US has an older white population going back to the 13 colonies (the 17th century), while in Australia the oldest families have been there for 200 years at best, since it was discovered only in the late 18th century.

Well, that's what happens in all "post-national" states where all races and cultures are welcome. Basically everyone can be X which means no one is X because being X just doesn't mean a thing. A nation is people, culture, history, etc., not a piece of paper IMO.

No probs. I'm also skeptical of considering White Australians or Americans as legitimate ethnicities unto themselves, but try telling them they are something else. They are in a difficult halfway house of identity. And American euromutts, forget about it.

What about the Abos? I read most of them are mixed as hell, like 70+% are intermarried. Why such a crazy rate of intermarriage? I mean maybe white genetics would make them more appealing but their looks are not appealing to any other group of people at all.

A large imbalance in the white male to female ratio in the early days of settlement and remote parts of Australia, and a hell of a lot of grog. So many were killed off by disease just like the Amerindians, the ones with European blood likely had a natural advantage surviving. I suppose there was also an insane idea to try to assimilate them into the white population in the mid 20th century, which brought a lot of them into urban white areas, and those mixed urban Abos have more access to welfare, lower mortality, and breed like rabbits. For whatever reason Aboriginal physical traits disappear a lot faster than African ones when mixing with Europeans, so there are many with significant Abo admixture that you would hardly notice unless you looked closer.

Yeah, I've seen that picture before. Impressive, I'm fascinated by genetic dilution in general. I mean when you see kids with blonde hair, blue eyes and all and know they are, say, 1/4 African, South Indian or Filipino.
Why is that idea insane? There will be no more of those exemplary ugly archaic Abos, and the fake Abos will basically be 'Aboriginal' in name only (like the Cherokee in America, whiter than most mestizos). In a couple of generations they will probably be diluted completely, aside from a small minority that lives in remote areas.

That is because white dominated World nothing else and in India because of Aryan invasion and domination. But for Abos this meant nothing and Whites Were extremely foreign and ugly to them. I read it in one study about their history.

Btw in old China before white colonisation extreme mongoloid look (small eyes flat face and pale) was beauty ideal. They preferred Tungid/North Sinid look over south sinids with large round eyes for example that look more alike to Whites apart from their darker skin.

Lol. Whites are to blame for non-whites wanting to mix with whites. For fuck's sake, whites are to blame literally for everything. Are you kidding me? That's BS. East Asia never had a large white colonial population, I mean China, Japan, Korea, etc. The Aryan invasion of India was so long ago (around 3,500 years ago), yet you think that standard still remains. Most blacks in Africa probably never see a white person until they come to a white-majority country.

Anyway, who cares what the Australian Aboriginals think about race. Apparently not even themselves

Intermarriage rate

The proportion of Aboriginal adults married (de facto or de jure) to non-Aboriginal spouses increased to 74% according to the 2011 census,[178] up from 71% in 2006, 64% in 1996, 51% in 1991 and 46% in 1986. The census figures show there were more intermixed Aboriginal couples in capital cities: 87% in 2001 compared to 60% in rural and regional Australia.[179] It is reported that up to 88% of the offspring of mixed marriages subsequently self identify as Indigenous Australians.[172]

No. I lived among Non Whites so I know them. Most people of color are not interested in Whites neither They want to mix with them, just like most of Whites have no interest towards Non Whites nor Desire to mix with them.

Most people everywhere prefer their own kind and especially those that live more Traditional lifestyle without exposure to the outer World. In India more Aryan look is obviously Associated with higher Social status and wealth so obviously that Plays a role in popularity of whiter phenotypes rather than aestetic preference.

Most girls in East Asia who Andore Whites are teens who Watch MTV and Hollywood films , Western music etc that is dominating the World not because Whites are seen as traditionally beautiful there. They are not.
Japanese have seen Whites as Scary barbarian and subhuman looking not long ago, obviously situation radically changed after They Were culturally conquered by the US and west.

Just like lot of European Teen girls love K pop boys including my cousin not because Whites love Mongoloid look but because K pop became widely popular across the Globe recently.

Without all these influences you will get the World where overwhelming majority of people likes those that look similar to them and come from similar background like them.

Actually I'd prefer that to the continuous spread of Islam. Especially Caucasians are already caucasoid and part European. Without Islam they'd be just swarthy semi-Europeans. But the Abos in Australia are a much smaller population, like 3% or so including all the mixed ones.

When they lived away from whites and their numbers were lower they were out of sight out of mind and not much of a problem. Now they're an eternal issue, and the political agitants are always urban half, quarter or 1/8 breeds, never the full blooded, who are barely conscious most of the time. From an anthropological sense it would be a slight shame to lose them only to be replaced with millions of Abo Elizabeth Warrens.

The only East Asian women who marry White men en masse are those who live in the West (especially the US). By contrast, countries like Japan and Korea are among the most homogeneous and ethnocentric places on Earth. And South Asians certainly don't marry out much - they may value lighter skin, but they prefer light-skinned Indians and Pakistanis, not Europeans (or MENAs).

No, I don't feel special. It's just part of my heritage.

First post here, I am beginning to gather results from my family and my partner as well. Some of them are proving quite resistant to being tested. We just had our first child and it sparked some interest in both of us. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181127/da63265cac63d7af536b323f07d73477.jpg

Some members are gonna love your results since you're only Northwestern European. That's pretty rare on this forum! You should make a classify me thread as well as a thread with your results.

You should make a classify me thread as well as a thread with your results.I may do that. The results are somewhat surprising although I'm certainly nothing special. I expected more variety in myself and less in my partner. I thought I may have detected a Euro-centric atmosphere one or twice while browsing, but I am a casual reader and just here for the information.

Ancestry.com is broken. My results used to be inline with my parents before the update.

My results are extremely different on 23andMe and Gedmatch. Both show much more Spain & Italy like my mom + 2.5% NA + 1% SSA. Does anyone else see a problem with this? Plus how am I 3% Sardinian when my parents are not? These results look like I'm not my mother's child. Yet Ancestry confirms that I am.

OK, it's rant time.

I grew up in an 1840's Utah Territory based cult(ure) where "whiteness", specifically Northwestern European ancestry, was highly revered and coveted.

As a child, I was often treated like an unintelligent misfit because of my 50% Latin American heritage. To help me assimilate, I was "encouraged" to Anglicize my name and only speak English (or more specifically, *not* Spanish) as it helped others feel more at ease and would make me appear more culturally acceptable. I really tried to do this throughout most of my childhood; however, I failed to become culturally acceptable enough and was instilled with a strong sense of shame.

As a young adult, I replaced my shame with anger. "SCREW YOU! I am absolutely different! How dare you try to stuff me into your ethnic mold when I didn't fit?" I walked away from those who tried to make me feel "less than" and felt a new sense of freedom. Life finally became bright and beautiful!

As a not so young adult, I learned how to replace my anger with pride. I learned from my parents that I am a mixed child of the world! It is easier for me to list places in the world where my family IS NOT from rather than try to list it all. I joyously remember the day that I first got my Ancestry DNA results and it reflected all and more of what I already knew about my family's origins. I began to include many people of many different ethnic backgrounds as "my people" -- people from Europe, South America, Africa and the Middle East.

All is good with the world.

2018 Update

Now, I AM PISSED OFF!!! This update removed *all* of my non-European ancestry and most of my non-Northwestern European ancestry and made it appear as if I am genetically homogeneous to a group of people who only represent half of my DNA. I used to match almost 50/50 my parents ancestry. On 23andMe, I STILL DO! With this update, I barely match my mother ... as if she never existed. I am left feeling that the attempted ethnic cleansing process of my childhood still continues to this day.

I suspect it is due to partially matching a certain genetically un-diverse reference population with millions of submitted samples from people all searching for their "Native American Ancestors" (my my my have times sure changed). Since that reference population is part of an organization with strong financial ties to Ancestry.com, they certainly could not have their people believing that they were anything other than English, Irish, Scandinavian or Dutch.

I used to get constant messages from many of my 1000+ 4th cousins or closer because of my "Native American" ancestry --- "OOOH LOOK! WE'RE CHEROKEE!!! I ALWAYS KNEW IT!!! NATIVE PRIDE!!!"

"CHEROKEE??? My ancestors were Huarpe and spoke Quechua! Hey, ... didn't you used to call me a beaner when I was a kid?"

I guess I should be thankful for the update. I no longer get messages from people looking for their Cherokee Indian Princess Great-Grandmother....

In spite of my overly dramatic rant, I do still think that it's a valuable test if you are researching genealogy and are trying to prove family lines that lack documentation. Just take the ethnicity estimates with a grain of salt.

Yes, I know my mother's side is from south Ireland. One great grandfather was born and raised in Clonakilty, to the southwest of Cork. It looks pretty consistent with what I know of my Irish side.

The Irish part is accurate but the Romanian side is a bit off, too north shifted in IMO. Since my grandparents are from Transylvania, I might have a 10% or so Magyar or Saxon mix, but I can't see it being that huge, who knows. 23andMe has me a basically a 50/50 Irish- Cluj Romanian but I have not idea if AncestyDNA goes further back.

AncestryDNA goes more back, around 1000 years, as far as I know. 23andMe not more than 500 years, 300-500.

-Mid-Atlantic Settlers

Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio, Northern West Virginia & Maryland Settlers
From your regions: England & Northwestern Europe; Scotland

Right in the middle of the Western Central Pennsylvania genetic region is Punxsutawney, which made me laugh - today is February 2 as well.
Punxsutawney sounds badass :cool:
Also this

As of the census[7] of 2010, there were 5,962 people, 2,573 households and 1,602 families in the borough. The population density was 1,836.2 people per square mile (708.0/km²). There were 3,042 housing units at an average density of 890.7 per square mile (343.4/km²). The racial makeup of the borough was 98.8% White, 0.2% African American, 0.2% Native American, 0.3% Asian, <0.1% from other races, and 0.5% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 0.8% of the population.

Honestly, I'm sorry to say but these American themed tests are mentally retarded. You can't technically be 7 ethnicities. I mean you would probably really come out to be benelux or northern French genetically ,based on the above, but if you are in the UK and speak with a British accent then you are not French or Benelux in the strict sense of the word. If you are a law abiding British citizen there is nothing else for me to say. I can't say I'm more British just my genetics might since I was born in New York.
