no, myheritage is just bullshit.

[Cristiano viejo]

No. It was Sicilian would be higher.

[Leto]

no, myheritage is just bullshit.
If he is a Pontic Greek his results make sense. East Med and Anatolia strong!

I agree, yes.

-Dosas may i ask what was your west asian and east med score on eurogenes k13?

[Lemgrant]

no, myheritage is just bullshit.

Ayetooey claims that Myheritage is more accurate than Ancestry in his case.

[dosas]

I agree, yes.

Yeah can change person to person. It is accurate for dosas too. But in general obviously Ancestry is much more accurate than MH. It spams North African, Nigerian, Chinese for every people.

[Thracian]

It must be a glitch for Southeast Euro's. I have seen some Bulgarians, Romanians and Serbians have it.

[rein]

I wouldn’t be surprised if it was that.

Do you know yourself to have Sicilian ancestry for a fact? If so, it could be that.

It could also signal Greek ancestry from the Dodecanese, Cyprus, Anatolia, Crete, or Pontus.

No, I don't know anything before my grandparents. I am just trying to correlate it to my K36 results where two chromosomes score Italy, one of them Sicily. But I get the Dodecanesa connection.

If you consider Sicilians are basically Dodecanese but with North African, then you should look for North African above what is average for Greeks, to see if you may have a Sicilian ancestor as opposed to a Greek one from an outlying area.

It just seems so random. I trust Lukasz' work more than any other autosomal test. My west asian 20%ish, for example, correlates perfectly with 2 Circassian chromosomes, 1 GR_Pontus and 1 TR_Trabzon. It's the middle-eastern part I am trying to figure out.

What's interesting is that you're 50% Pontic Greek, yet you only score around 10% more West Asian than I do on MyHeritage

Argh, this again :cool:.

Pontics are not homogeneous, it's a geographical/cultural/linguist term not ethnic.

The majority of my Black Sea chromosomes are Crimean, and these guys were originally from the Peloponnese.

The Pontic Greeks do not even, originally, identify with mainland Greece and its ancient continuity, like Southerners do. They call themselves 'Romans' (even now, especially in diaspora) and their homeland is the Greco-Roman Eastern Empire with its capital, Constantinople, or after its fall, Trebizond and/or Theodoro.

Basically 60% West Asian and Middle Eastern. However you get more North European than all Sicilians that I've seen so far. They usually get 10-15% or so.
