Adult supervision is required. Normally some people especially south asian kids have disconnect between reality vs what s being taught on lineages that might escalate things in real life if not properly discussed with adults or teachers

How?

How?

If adolescents kids start testing and upload onto GED and start making theories then that is the chaos we see today in South Asian genetics
Researchers at top on govt patronage make wild theories based on 1 or 2 small autosomal matches or y-dna matches and create genuine identity problems

But if there is such an option, once I take a commercial test, I can request my results to be used as a reference for Bosnian_Turkish because there is no such category yet.

Nice, but remind Bosnian-Turkish cluster will still be extremely close currently-existing Bosnian cluster and will not be more Turkish or Turkic in a racial sense, given that none of your known ancestors are from ethnic Turkish stock.

Sorry but my parents are ethnically Turkish. Their parents just followed a different immigration route when moving to Turkey.

Then they are not of the same ethnicity. Having the same passports, being of the same nationality, living in the same country doesn't always mean being the same ethnicity. I am sure you know nothing about what ethnicity means.

Ethnicity does not have an official definition and therefore it depends.
