MyHeritage new region update has been released, post your new results here.

[Adamm]

Check your MyHeritage kits, mine have all been updated with the new regions:

North African regions are very accurate, the Portugal I have no clue about.

[Beers]

Done them all, only one I have a high degree of confidence in is 23andMe.
Their latest update was spot on.

I believe my percentages are unchanged but they added new genetic groups at the bottom.

Yes, the update today seems to include only Genetic Groups and updated interface. If they only assign Romania as a country and not specific subregions/counties, then it is kind of weak. 23andme went deeper.

No, I don't see any sub regions under that one. Kinda vague

I don't understand the point of myheritage, 23andme and AncestryDNA. It's like if ya'll niggers are too mentally retarded to place me within 400 or 500 kms on a map of Europe then shut the fuck up !

[Chris596]

Disappointing, same as before, nothing has changed for me, they pulled Scandinavia out of their @sses when I clearly don't have Scandinavian ancestry. And now they think I have ancestry from Germany, Netherlands and England too :picard2: They don't show my Eastern European ancestry either. I thought something will change for me.

https://i.imgur.com/w8HsSUk.png

- 95.2% Balkan
- 3.6% Scandinavian (bullsh*t)
- 1.2% Ashkenazi Jewish

Btw I'm starting to believe that I'm, in fact almost 100% Romanian...

[vbnetkhio]

https://i.imgur.com/UTs2p1K.png

The first group is actually Krajina Serbs and the second is Herzegovina/Montenegro Serbs. You can see it if you zoom in.

[Slavic Italian]

I got it but it seems like they kept many of the original regions and just made the words more bold. Nothing really changed as far as ethnicity assignment.

[Chris596]

Interesting. Their Balkan seems to be mainly based on South Slavic countries ? It reminds me of 23andme only that the whole Balkans is included into Balkans there with regional breakdowns.

Genetically I'm almost identical to Serbs yet on Myheritage and 23andme too my only region is Romania (literally the only), when in fact I have ancestry from Hungary too.

[Leto]

The percentages haven't changed, they just added possible countries of orign and some other useless stuff. Nothing interesting.

[Dušan]

Yes, both Krajina and Herzegovina Serbs settled in large number in northern Serbia (Vojvodina), as MH also suggests.

[Ion Basescul]

Fuck, I checked all available groups, and they don't have a country-level one for Moldova, let alone regions. There are three groups that say Moldova in the name:
1) Western Ukraine, Moldova and Northeastern Romania for Ukrainian ethnics in Moldova, Ukraine and NE Romania: "Ukrainians in Western Ukraine and some in Moldova and Northeastern Romania, and some of their descendants in Central Canada and in Northeastern and in Midwestern United States"
2) another one for Romani/Gypsies in Moldova, Romania, Croatia and Hungary.
3) Romania, Bulgaria, Italy and Moldova: "Balkans in Romania, Bulgaria, Italy and some in Moldova", which seems to be the more Southern version (https://i.imgur.com/IWrg0IQ.png) of the "Romania" group.

People with Moldovan/Romanian ancestry seem to be thrown in the "Romania" category, which extends into Moldova and even Ukraine.

I think I am going to write to them to request at least a country-level group for Moldova to be added in the future, because I have seen at least 100 kits, so there is demand from people tested here.

Also, who in their right mind thought that having a group "Polish people in Southern Italy" would be a good idea?

The "Romania" category by the way extends into Moldova and covers parts of Ukraine too. Romanians would have been a better word probably.

At high confidence by the way, only the "Romania" category remains for brother and mom, while dad and I don't have any.

Yes, the update today seems to include only Genetic Groups and updated interface. If they only assign Romania as a country and not specific subregions/counties, then it is kind of weak. 23andme went deeper.

It looks like they took people from their database with family trees, and sorted them into clusters of intermixed people which all match each other, and assign you to these clusters.

they disregared ethnic and country borders, just clustered the samples by IBD, and then tried to describe the clusters which formed.

they probably don't have enough people from Romania for a more detailed division.

It seems like that's what happened, which is why Moldova didn't receive any groups, because there are probably fewer testers here than elsewhere in the region. There are only some kits from Moldova included in the "Romania" category. And then there are some who formed the "Ukrainians from Moldova, Ukraine, Northeastern Romania" group and the other one for "Romani/Gypsies from Moldova, Romania, Hungary". The group with Ukrainians could actually be tested by them directly, since I doubt they would have guessed that they are Ukrainians otherwise. They had to at least confirm it with them and not just guess from family trees and ethnicity estimates.

What do you pretend, they are commercial tests.. one day you are greek and the other you are syrian. Don’t pay to much attention, they are made it for americans who want to know more about their european background. If you are european, just ask your parents and they will tell you which ethnicity are :)

they assign Admixture and IBD groups completely independently of each other.
this is much better than what 23andme does.

on 23andme you can e.g. lose all your Eastern European admixture because of their purifiyng algorithm, and then you also lose all your Eastern Eruopean regions, even if you obviously have a lot of ibd matches there, which sucks.

[Luso]

Idk why MyHeritage gives me a whopping 12.3% Scandinavian, lol. Ridiculous test.

Definitely agree on this.

I'm probably modeled with something like 50% Bosnian/Serbian/Croatian and 50% NW Anatolian Turk in 23andme; resulted in getting no regions under the Balkans as I don't have ancestors from Western Balkans. Apparently, I do score Bulgaria here even though I have got 0% Balkan.

[Ylla]

Yes. Balkans peaks in Serbia, Bosnia and Croatia. Albanians score mainly Greek and south Italian.

It seems quite varied I just checked my closest relatives, some get mostly Greek and SI others get 50/50 split between Greek and Balkan. I've noticed most of them have north and west European which is quite strange even going up to 15-20%, I didn't have any of that.

That is so weird... right? South Andalusia and Basque= Asturias apparently to MyHeritage :confused:

Is Asturias his closest region in Single Distances on GEDmatch?

Is this the only high confidence region? Which are your medium ones? I believe MH thinks you are a Slovak from Hungary, and this isn't even that far from truth, right?

I don't think so, no. Asturias is nw Iberian, I think gixajo (he should correct me) usually gets closer to basques or an intermediate between central and north eastern Iberian. Portuguese & w spanish typically gets a closer distance to Castille y Leon, Asturias, and Galicia than people a bit more eastern in the peninsula.

[Peterski]

I somehow got “Northwestern England and Italy” as a genetic group. :confused:

Yes, it's the only high confidence region as far as I understood. I am hungarian with a slovak background like Benyzero is hungarian with a German background (he score 30-40% 'french-german' on 23andme)

From what I understood though, unlike you, he doesn't have recent German ancestry. But him being Transdanubian he obviously has older German admixture. But it's kinda weird they didn't also give you a high probability ethnic Hungarian region, since you do have enough recent Hungarian ancestry.

Indeed that's very off, since they should have found you Hungarians in Romania (Székely) and normal Hungarians. Have you uploaded your family tree? I believe they also look at your family tree to decide which regions to choose, when in a dilemma. My main regions are completely matching my family tree, so I believe they might have checked it when deciding what to assign me. I could also be wrong though, since how would they have time to look up millions of family trees, and how would an American company be able to distinguish between different neighboring European names, what ethnicity they had.

[Peterski]

I did not upload my maternal grandfather's brother. Now I would have to pay for his ethnicity estimate?

The strangest thing is that neither Myheritage or 23andme detects Hungary, but I even have documented ancestry from there even as back as my great great grandfather (fixed)... Yes I have some names and places in my family tree too. At this point I just give up. I thought 23andme will be more informative but they didn't show anything under my Eastern European category either.

And my father doesn't even look like a Romanian. He looks Slavic, in many foreign countries he's often confused with Ukrainians/Russians. My mother's family looks more Balkan (they are taller and darker too) in my opinion.

The second one ('central europeans') seems a german+balkan+ slav mix specific to ex-AustriaHungary areas. Their avarage dna test result shows when you click on the category.

It's very common among Serbs too. Simić is more common in Serbia than in B&H and Krajina. Marković is more ambigous. Both Marković and Simić are one of the most common Serbian surnames, even many Gypsies have them.

I'm furious. Because I buy test for the update. And from these genetic groups I learned 0 new things.

Yeah, if between me and my family's matches I managed to find about 100 Moldovan matches, then surely there are many more who have tested. They should have been able to make at least a general country group for us.
It is true though that most of them while having a family tree, don't indicate the actual locality in the country, and simply choose to write "Moldova". I am wondering if that affects their choice.

Okay I cooled down :)

I am still happy with Myheritage, they provided me good raw data and better matches than 23andme.
The fact I only scored CRO/BIH/SRB tells me I have no recent E.Euro ancestry and and am mostly just a Croat/SW Slav.

Since I didn't get Germany, and in autosomal DNA such input (around 1/8) largerly washed out (I come close to average for Croats), I think it's pretty fair that I can be considered just a Croat in the end.

And I'm perfectly happy with that. :)

I have seen this:


In some cases, where all Genetic Groups have the same confidence level, we will not display the confidence slider. For example, if you have four Genetic Groups, and all are medium confidence level, then we will not display the confidence slider above your ethnicity results, as it will be redundant.

Probably because Southern USA is English genetic group (just my guess), and you scored no English in ethnicity estimate.

Probably because Southern USA is English genetic group (just my guess), and you scored no English in ethnicity estimate. They refine regions only for people who score main region of selected genetic group in ethnicity estimate. If my guess is right, you had same bad luck like me or Kaspias. You can e-mail them though, I have.

I got Southern USA. My only low confidence group though.

Seems like it catches my ethnicity from paternal side. My great grandpa was from Prijepolje, it exactly catches it. But no sign from my maternal side (From Shumen and Plovdiv) or my paternal grandma from Mardin/Turkey. But anyway, nice details.

How do you explain top places for Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia (Vojvodina) before 19th century (in 1600-1650)? There are various Western countries as top places. Similar is for some other Serbian groups.
I guess other Serbs get the same for this time period as me.

Will you post your results?

Ethnic estimations suposedly will be recalculed during 2021:


Better Ethnicity Estimates
The Genetic Groups update does not modify the top-level Ethnicity Estimates on MyHeritage – the 42 ethnicities with percentages, that we released 4 years ago. The ethnicity calculation is done separately from Genetic Groups using older technology that is outdated and in need of an overhaul. We are working on replacing the Ethnicity Estimates right now, and in 2021 plan to roll out much better ones based on totally new technology. Once we do that, Genetic Groups will improve too as their descriptions will become more accurate. The number of ethnicities will change and the percentages will become much more accurate. Stay tuned!

https://zupimages.net/up/20/52/bm6x.png (https://zupimages.net/viewer.php?id=20/52/bm6x.png)

My Basque origins are now included, as well as an unexpected Swiss ancestry (canton of Bern). I always thought that my maternal grandfather had roots in Alsace; in fact, it might rather be Alemannic Switzerland.

My percentages didn't change previously got southern Europe 77 (Greek and Italian) and Balkan was under eastern Europe. The AJ remained :)

But I would like to get my mother tested and my maternal haplogroup tested further, her family history is quite complex and half of her family spoke a foreign language. It's the reason why I joined these forums and became interested in ancestry testing. I don't think it's showing up on my DNA analysis at all. It's impossible to be fully Albanian based on my family history.

The percentages are inaccurate, but the coummunites are actually pretty good (they're missing some for me, of course, but they got some that are pretty far back, so I'm surprised I was attached to them).

Percentages:
- 44% North and West European
- 38.1% English
- 11.8% Balkan
- 5.2% Iberian
- 0.9% Eastern European
Problems: Missing Scandinavian, Irish & Scottish. Also, I'm not Iberian, my Balkan should not be that high, and my EE should be higher.
Communities:
- Croatia (Split-Dalmatia) and Bosnia and Herzegovina
- England
- Georgia, Florida, South Carolina and Alabama
- North Carolina
- North Carolina & Virginia
- Northeastern and Midwestern USA
- Northeastern England and Southern Scotland
- Scotland (Glasgow and Lanarkshire), England, and Poland (I had Polish ancestors who moved to England, as did many other people)
- Scotland (Glasgow), Ireland, and England
- Serbia, Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina
- Southeastern and Eastern England
- Southern USA
- Texas, Illinois, Missouri, Tennessee, Oklahoma, and Arkansas
- UK & Ireland
- USA, New Zealand, Australia and Canada
- Virginia, North Carolina and West Virginia

an unexpected Swiss ancestry (canton of Bern). I always thought that my maternal grandfather had roots in Alsace; in fact, it might rather be Alemannic Switzerland.

Interesting. Possibly a consequence of the Thirty Years' War, that was a manslaughter of humongous extent in most of Germany and of the surrounding areas, including Alsace and especially Lorraine. Entire provinces had to be repopulated.

The Alpine regions were however spared, which trigged out a large emigration wave to the provinces that had to be recolonized. When searching about my ancestry in Lorraine and Alsace I was astonished at the number of foreigners who surfaced in the 17th Century second half in the villages around Metz (not in my direct ascendance but among their collaterals): there were plenty of individuals born in Switzerland, and even in Savoy and Austrian Tyrol!

Very significantly, those people weren't soldiers, craftsmen or merchants (who were prone to relocate from a province to another) but simple peasants and day-labourers, who usually never went further than the nearest parish to get married.

There is some literature available about that phenomenon (which modified the linguistic French/German boundary in Eastern France, as well as between Catholic and Protestant parishes), unfortunately not much. Anyway, here we have an exceptional case of long distance internal migration in Central Europe.

The British/Irish stuff is very inflated, in actuality my father is 25% tops. Closest regions are Ireland. We indeed might have a little Irish ancestry. Scando is pretty on point (and he gets Odense as top Danish reference pop), East European will be likely Wendish admixture because our German is partly from Meck-Pomm. The Iberian? I guess just weird assigning, lol...

I always knew we are Polako-Turk R1a's from Lechia. :rolleyes:

As I thought. People from Thrace seem to score some Irish and Scandinavian. It has to do with the great Gallic migration through Thrace in ancient times.

"The Galatians were originally part of the great migration led by Brennus which invaded Macedon. The originals who settled in Galatia came through Thrace under the leadership of Leotarios and Leonnorios c. 278 BC. "

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galatians_(people)
