Longbowman MyHeritage results! (Proper results, not an upload)

[Longbowman]

I did this a while ago and I was unimpressed. I have now got the update and I am less impressed. I am posting the results to show how unreliable these still are.

Now, some people will say 'oh, well, this is within the realms of possibility for non-paternity.' And I would reply: 'I have tested with FTDNA, 23andme, Ancestry. They are all in agreement this is not correct.'

I'm not going to talk about the 0.8% Amazonian; we can dismiss that as 'noise' even though 23andme and Ancestry would never have that high a level of 'noise' in a Caucasian person. I won't talk about how the 4.0% Mizrakhi (accurate region!) is a little low, or even that the 1.8% Sephardi is very low. Instead, I will focus on how I am simply not 11.2% Welsh. I am fully Jewish. This is a big error on their part. It's not really excusable imo. It would be interesting to see how their algorithm works. North[west]ern European is a very big step from East Med.

Solamente 1.8% sefardí? No vuelvo a hablarte en castellano.:mad:

Maybe that Amerindian shows actually some Asian ancient input related with your Mitzrahim side?

11.2% is a major f-up.
Stick with 23andMe, they're tops with Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry, they have a huge database that has been refined and tuned and getting better all the time.
23andMe just needs to get on the ball with Sephardi/Mizrahi Jews, far from an easy task.

I deleted my MyHeritage and Living DNA account, I could get better results using a magic 8 ball.

Dumped Ancestry too, after their disastrous "update" a couple of years ago.

Congratulations my friend! Though you were half European but seems you are truly ethnic Jewish.

Confiabas en un judío y recibiste lo que mereciste.

Extremely unlikely. But if it were perfect + 0.8% Amerindian, I would be indifferent. The 1/8 Welsh is too much.

My ancestry information is in my profile. More complete information in the 23andme link in my sig.

Interesting also have Jewish (sephardic) within my European Input.

Nice results dude! I am actually surprised u didn't get one tiny bit of Iberian ancestry, but its Myheritage so no surprise either lol XD. Your regions that u get bcs of your Sephardic Jewish ancestry just confirms further to me that I have most likely a decent portion of Sephardic Jewish ancestry as well, but I definitely wont test it with Myheritage since it gave u such a low score and from what u have stated from your ancestry u should obviously have much more. Cool man!.

You know, Sephardic and Ashkenazi, they're close enough that if I got 90-95% Ashkenazi, I would have gone, 'ok, not too bad, fair enough I guess' but 1/8 Celtic Fringe is a joke...


...or all the other companies are wrong and there are secrets in my family tree.

All Latinos have Sephardic Jewish some more then others but it's there Imo.

Nah man, Myheritage is known for really not being good at estimations, most people disregard it for the most part, even though I've heard testimonies of people who have had good results/experiences with the company. Tbh If I were u, I probs wouldn't really pay that much attention to it. I have also gotten very bizarre results from not so mainstream companies.

Yeah I agree, but apparently on my moms side there's a little bit more than average for a latino family, specially Venezuelan.

My parents also have results (uploaded from 23andme). Does one of them have 25% Welsh? No. Mum has 3.0% and Dad has none (but he does have 5.1% Scando). Come on guys.

The Welsh is picking up on your steppe and you saying you are 100 percent Jewish it’s a community not an ethnicity. You are still mixed and my heritage is just picking up on your components

Amazonian is legitimate you should pick it up in your g25, I score one percent Papuan which I also score in my g25 moderns. It’s most likely something to do with the area

[Mortimer]

Bro did your ethnicity estimates change or were updated? Mine werent, just I got genetic groups. I think the genetic groups are good.

Thank you for your ridiculous opinion bro, greatly appreciated.

I am 100% Jewish divided into three groups, all of which are reference populations - Sephardi, Mizrakhi, Ashkenazi. These are all defined ethnic groups. I should get 100% that. If I get 98-99% that, okay, no problem. Any Steppe ancestry I have will be wrapped up in that. Even if it weren't there is no reason for it to appear as Welsh.

Maybe you don't know what 'legitimate' is? You are not Papuan and I am not Amazonian. I don't even have any ancestors who have been to South America, as far as I'm aware. You know that. I know that. Same for you and Papua.

Again, all the other DNA companies are better than this, and are able to give me at least fairly accurate results. These results are a joke.

Yes, they changed. The groups were fine.
