Yes, but not minor. Considerable.

[Petalpusher]

Do you score any on 23andme? More relevant because it looks at specific alleles/IBD for Jewish ancestry

The thing is you are neither Belorussian, Lithuanian or even Polish, so might be just an artificial fit.

Well, I'm not sure about that. Those models are theoretical and not to be taken literally.
I opened the same thread on anthrogenica and no one said "wow you're soo jewish/mena admixed" : https://anthrogenica.com/showthread.php?23190-Am-I-jewish-admixed
Read Hadouken's post in that thread : https://i.imgur.com/Sa7MVEL.jpg

Other calculators don't show any jewish admixture for me, I picked the ones that do.

I did myheritage. The problem with 23andme is it's not good at detecting sephardic jewish to my knowledge.

Didn't we conclude in other thread that population of Roman empire was very southern by autosomal genetics, almost MENA-like?

Most of todays Hungary was part of Roman empire, as well.

You can be northern-shifted Hungarian, but still not as northern as North Slavs you get in results, it balances your results with adding Middle East or Jewish. It does not mean you are literally 10% Jewish, you can have this ancestry, but I do not think it is possible to say by these results.

This would be the most logical explanation. Gedmatch calculators are not the best in indicating minor Jewish Ancestry. it probably just stands for your Paleo Balkan ancestry

Balkan ancestry can be modeled with Mediterranean (Coastal North African), Indo Greek (Central Asian) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yona, and European HG. Gypsys have been incorporated part of Balkan lineage for many centuries so they have to be considered in this question.

Italians are not Balkan, their major strain of ancestry comes from Eastern Anatolia, it is not native in Balkans this people or Europe, they are recent arrivals. Balkan is not MENA, it is how I explained the MENA are recent arrived, for example Jews. Jews are in the Balkans there is widespread history in every Balkan counties involving Jews. This is not Balkan people, they are Semitic-Greek they spoke this languages. The dead sea scrolls study from March 2021 proved Jews were understanding Greek language therefore historically Greeks are Jews and Balkan Thracian people are distinct race and only recently centuries they mixed.

Is zero % logical explanation.

[Tulke]

If you read history, it would not be a miracle that you are a Jew. Why are you surprised?
Do you think you are 0% Jewish? If the answer is: No. Then you have to believe in results :)

[Sovanz]

Seems like you do, consider yourself lucky having Jewish ancestry It's cool.


Mind sharing the calculator?

Can't decide looks without a pic.
