View Full Version : Stearsolina Myheritage results! (proper test, not upload)
I must say I am satisfied with their ethnicity estimate if I will interpret is as mix of NE Euro, Med and NW genetics. Also my raw data is better now, I receive quite better fits on gedmatch and come out as pretty typical Croat.
Compared to much costlier 23andme, I'd like to say I am more satisified with Myheritage (compared to 23andme ethnicity estimate without any logic) and will probably retest my parents with them.

Another well-done to Myheritage: I received much more close Croatian matches than on 23andme, as well as much more close German matches. Probably because Europeans primarly test with Myheritage. Nice.

Still quite random. Why do you score "Greek and Italian" + zero Balkan and why do I score Balkan + zero 'Greek-Italian'? Why do I score Irish?

I got better estimate than you and folks which got Balkan. Because Balkan itself is mix of East Euro and Greek-Italian (south slavic like). But in my case it's much nicer to see because I can see more clearly approx. amount of Slavic and Balkan-Med genetics I have. People who get Balkan got screwed IMO, because most laics won't know how to interpret it like I easily can. Irish/Scot is obviously proxy for NW genetics like Scandinavian for mine.
East Euro is proxy for north Slavic like genetics, while Greek-Italian much more corresponds with Paleo-Balkan like genetics (Albanians mostly get that for example).
It's interesting how I did score minor Jewish after all, it's likely based on my family history but it must have been pretty distant if true and washed out genetically.
I think Myheritage ethnicity estimate is quite solid on a basic level. Also the matching database was superior to other companies (in my German case at least).
Considering the prize it's definetly worth it imo.
The only problem the model has it's not conistent. As a German you can either get Scandinavian + Balkan/South Euro for example or just 100% Northwestern European. I guess it's similar with the Balkan component and Greek/Italian.

It's basically like a Vahaduo oracle.
Balkan is Serbian-like, Irish is probably hardly distinguishable from Scandiavian/Germanic, like in k13 oracles, etc.

Yeah, agree with all of that. I brought this test for the major update they promised though, but still didn't deliver. But now I'm already satisfied because of raw data quality (i knew it was good), My results are now much less odd on gedmatch. With 23andme V4 I always got very poor fits.
It makes sense I cluster closest to eastern Croats, because they are intermediate between northern and southern Croats genetically, but closer to southerners. I am mostly southerner but with additional central European ancestry.

Some people like to waste their money on calculators. Feiichy, isn't your and your parents data from pre-V5 years? MyHeritage and FTDNA cut the SNP count more than by half back in 2018. On Gedmatch I see that basically some of the North Atlantic went into the Baltic (29 vs 27 percent NA and 32 vs 35 percent B).
Congrats on beating Vlatko fucking Vukovic in Nordo-Slavicness. He got BTFO'd by the new Feiichy results :cool:

My parents tested with FTDNA and I am extremely unsatisfied with their raw data quality (my mother comes out zero Germanic on gedmatch but is 25%NW Euro in their esthnicity estimate).
I tested with V4, but I find this raw data much better and giving better fits for me. From what I know myheritage has best raw data on the market. 23andme has best quality raw data with V3 chip.
I guess they test more quality snps than 23andme. I would like to test my parents here because I'm sure they will come closer to me genetically than they are now.

I don't know, before 2018 FTDNA was fine IMO. Now it's like MyHeritage. Those two companies are partners, I believe. V5 is indeed a disaster but sometimes it's okay too, depends on the case.
Also Leto I brought this for the update. Maybe you didn't hear but MH has been promoting huge ethnicity update with thousands of genetic communities but somehow it still didn't come out. They were promising it until this year's end.
Yeah, I'm aware of a future update. Hopefully they'll update my uploaded results too.

My parents FTDNA results are very different from Myheritage results. I think FTDNA is trash post 2018 (sadly they tested than). I know they use same lab, but their raw data quality doesn't seem the same at all to me.

Oh yeah, I'm really looking forward to test the boy :) She agreed. He will have really interesting genetics for sure!
You guys have never tried Genotek :D It's a Russian company. The SNP count on GED is the same as V5, so it kinda sucks to me.
Oh yeah, I'm really looking forward to test the boy :) She agreed. He will have really interesting genetics for sure!
What does he look like now?
Even his Y DNA is pretty much unpredictable, it could be H, could be O, could be R1a, R2a, maybe even something else like the Indian J2a or something. Enough to google Bangladeshi Y DNA to fact-check me.

He got something like 70%, so maybe I was wrong. I just like to troll that guy for some reason, he is no longer around anyway. I think he has no Western blood unlike you, that's the difference. He is 35% B and 25% NA.

Could be L too I think. He looks pseudo-Khmer tbh. Pretty light skin but with visible exotic facial features like nose or lips. His father is Sylheti from NE Bangladesh and they can be up to 20% mongoloid I think.
But boy doesn't look like him (father is swarthy as f*** and looks south Indian), he looks like paternal grandmother who has pseudo SE Asian phenotype and also bit like my friend, has her eyes and curly hair. :)

Yeah, correct. This is realistic estimate for me, puts me around Croatian average when it comes to slavicness. I'm pretty typical, my foreign admix is minor and doesn't influence my results pretty much.
@Leto: I'll have another very exotic specimen to test in next few years :D My other friend recently gave birth to a daughter with her East Asian husband (he is mixed Chinese, Indonesian and Japanese). Daughter looks more mongoloid than him xD It may seem I have race-mixing friends but it's really coincidence two of them got children with Asians. Both met them abroad ofcourse.

Nice results. I think it works well for you in this case and they do an OK job of differentiating between large geographic regions in Europe but they suck at being more precise. They assign massive amounts of Scandinavian for example when none is known. Why do you think 23andme has no sense? I just bought the test.

Myheritage is known for giving fake Ashkenazi to some people, especially of Southern European ethnicities, I would not pay attention to it, unless you have Ashkenazi matches, if so then it is legit

I don't thin we are screwed because Balkan is in Eastern Europe group so anyone should understand.
Balkan is a mix of East Euro and Balkan DNA which correlates with Serbia, Bulgaria, south Romania, while Greek-Italian is more southern and south-western than Balkan (which match your southern part of ancestry as far as I remember?).
I think East European is more recent Slavic input, while Slavic input in Balkan group is more mixed with Balkan (and maybe older). That is why is in different group.

I like it more how they use proxies than 23andme which tells me I am 40% Slovenian tbh. :)

But I hope they deliver their update very soon, they already should have! It should be a massive game changer, at least according to their marketing.

I score none on 23andme (I did score around 1% or less before updates though). But I match some AJs there, many aren't pure Jews however. I think if I had legit AJ I would get much more matches because all of them are very closely related. I don't know what to think of if, my grand-grandmother family came from Budapest to modern day northern Serbia and they were ethnically mixed. We always speculated they were part Jews, but I have no proof for that.
Their history is very mysterious and they didn't really ethnically declare what they were, spoke both German and Hungarian at home and were wealthy urban cosmopolitans, hence we speculate about Jews.
There were also speculations about Greeks and Armenians on that side of family and I have really no idea.

Thanks!
Problem with Balkan is that people outside of anthrofora think it means Paleo-Balkan, they don't know it's based on South Slavs and Serbian like. So when Croats get mostly Balkan on Myheritage and majority do they think they are of Illyrian and not Slavic ancestry. With more simplistic division like Eastern Euro + Greek-Italian they can more easily understand east euro is Slavic like input and Greek-Balkan Vlach like input.
Eurogenes K15, just for fun, as I don't rate this test highly, K13 is quite better.

Congratulations... Under the comment section one of the youtube videos, a member told that Greeks and South Italian is actually Paleo-Balkan. This is the reason why Greek and South Italian is that high among both Turks and Southern Slavs. I don't know if the claim is true or not.

Yeah, Greek and south Italian is great marker of Paleo-Balkan ancestry for Albanians and south Slavs on Myheritage. But for Greeks and south Italians it obviously isn't, it's just their native DNA.
South Slavs usually score just Balkan rather than EE+ Greek/South Italian, and Balkan is already mixed Slavic and Paleo-Balkan DNA.

Moldavians are genetically similar to Serbs and Bosniaks, so there you go. Old Moldavian average on Eurogenes isn't that representative, it's mixed with Ukrainins and other minorities.
I posted my updated K13 run in the first post, that's what you should be looking at.

Hi Stearsolina, I just wanted to say, congratulations :)
You really have legit German ancestry, right? So far I overlooked this fact for some reason. How many DNA matches do you have as of now?
Myheritage really did break your ancestry down much better than it did for me. As you might remember, I scored 95% Balkan on Myheritage and no Eastern European (because their Balkan category ate it). And now on 23andme I scored ~75% Balkan and ~20% Eastern European, which is much more realistic, considering that my ancestry is not entirely from Romania.
The only thing that is still a mistery to me, how the trace ancestry works on 23andme, which was a huge surprise to me. 23andme says that most of the time that's accurate and not just statistical error.
Hi Stearsolina, I just wanted to say, congratulations :)

Yes, I have. My mtdna is Germanic (I did a full sequence test). And now Germans are my second most numerous matches on Myheritage after Croats. I've got little over 2,100 matches in total.
Somali signal you get on 23andme could have appeared since you're part Jewish, because Jews have some minor East African/Horner ancestry as far as I know.
Congrats. I sent mine out last week too since this is what I tested my father with. I also got free shipping if anyone is interested. You place an order but don't finalize it. They will send you an email a day later saying they will pay for the shipping.

Congrats, the results seem quite good for you :):cool:
DNA land results, love the Med Islander I'm getting! :D

I guess that we can take the NE European ancestry as Balto-Slavic which you're over 55% with the rest coming from paleo-Balkan ancestry. I'm guessing that this is how the ethnic Bosniaks would have been genetically like, no?

No, since Bosniaks have no Germanic input. I am not close to them and I am around 65% Slavic on gedmatch. I am Croat like my gedmatch results show.

They only test 58k SNPs. You might have 0.1% Somali at 58k SNPs, but with 180k for example, that could drop to 0.001%. It is probably an ancient signal that everyone in Europe carries. It just happened to be in you on the part of the DNA that they chose to look at.

Aren't they too South-shifted compared to K13, especially considering that Med Islander (Cyprus, Sicily and Malta) is more Southern than Balkan (Albania, Bulgaria and mainland Greece)?
Congrats! you have inspired me to test with myheritage eventually:)

Perhaps, but this also gives me higher sum of northerly components (N.Slavic + NW Euro) than my old data.
I just like to get Med Islander as I'm literally 50% from Med Islands.
Congrats! you have inspired me to test with myheritage eventually:)
Thank you! I recommend it.
