The calcs on these are strange. Nobody scores close to how they should.
I get 10% irish on FTDNA. It’s bs.

And MyHeritage gave my father 15% Iberian. Heh.

I do agree commercial tests are unreliable, but i also get the N euro in G25

I meant more these two specific ones get kind of wacky- 23Andme appears to be considerably better.
Oh? That’s interesting, what do you make of that?

23andme has a lower database from North Africans i think. As i said i dont really know where the north euro comes from, maybe my father side or maybe contaminated sample if that even exists.
Here are my G25 coordinates from Hamilcar:
Target: Ouail_scaled
Distance: 2.0964% / 0.02096426
40.0 Anatolia_Barcin_N
29.8 MAR_Iberomaurusian
17.4 Yamnaya_RUS_Samara
8.4 Levant_Natufian
3.8 Yoruba
0.6 GEO_CHG

That's strange. Maybe you didn't log in until recently.

There is around 5 millions of iberian / andalusi muslims descendents in Morocco.
Moroccans are around 25% iberians.
With this heritage, is pretty normal that usually moroccans reflejects northern admixture due the iberian bridge.

where did you get this 5 million ? And his case is different he has high steppe ancestry but low EEF which means he has a north european ancestor not iberian (he scored north euro on both g25 and gedmatch)

There are apparently even more Northern North Africans out there. Check out this one

that seems exaggerated and idk based on what they reach such conclusions. Also even if that was true it doesn't mean 5 millions of pure spaniard but simply 5 millions having a morisco ancestor somewhere in their lineage.

For people asking if i get matches with europeans, yes i do, but usually smaler segments (0,5%).

I think you may rightly add the “Germanic” or “Norse” permission groups now to your profile.

It might be because I submitted my DNA data from other testing sites, but my results were very inaccurate for FTDNA and MyHeritage, too.

My northen euro part appears using G25 (all calculators) and Gedmatch aswell (all calculators too) it was me who thought at first it was just noise or some error. But all those percentages always appear (red sea, siberia, north sea, northwest euro etc).

It's quite logical that you have partly Nordic and British DNA. British people emigrated to Scandinavia and British people have Nordic roots. I guess you come from the northern regions of Spain then it is natural that you carry "British" more or less Scandinavian DNA in you. You can read the linked article and what you think about it. There you can see the DNA composition of the people in the northern part of Spain. Moreover, DNA databases and results are constantly changing and becoming more and more precise, so don't be surprised if results change. Can you show us your GEDmatch results? :)
