These are my wife's results I'm really surprised because no other test showed South Asian all she knows is she's fully German Swedish British.

0.8% doesn't mean anything. And you're not more concerned about the 0.8% African?

[Nurzat]

I understand your concern xD 0.8% can be noise, cannot trust under 1-2%

[Nurzat]

alternatively, we expect you to Romania to family reunion xD

I'm not concerned at all I'm amazed and grateful! I myself as Hispanic have almost the whole map except for India on 23andme https://www.reddit.com/r/23andme/comments/n171sp/cuban_american_beforeafter_update/

Cool- I just mean that if your wife is essentially northern Euro, it's funny you're more concerned with a bit of South Asian than African (although, now that I saw the detailed portion, it's Maghrebi, which makes more sense...)!

As in .8 is not a big deal? Hey I understand but me being Hispanic I have 5 or less percent of native American and ssa but that 5% is what distinguishes me as Hispanic. To me there's no point of ancestry tests to know your majority countries everyone should know that without taking a test- it's the small percentages that are cool to learn

It's not about the math so much as the algorithm-- 0.8 doesn't mean anything because it is very likely just 'noise,' the calculator simply characterized some left-over data as SA when another calc may see it as Balkan or MENA or anything...

Well yeah, sometimes it's because it's real. I usually get about 3% South Asian because I'm part Roma, other people get up to 2% South Asian on some calculators "just because". Know what I mean?

So you're basically a white Hispanic being close to 90% Caucasoid. I wonder how what your results from Gedmatch (Euro K13, Dodecad World9) would be.

No. It should be related to the Turkic admixture, the algorithm seems to isolated its components and regarded them as separate admixtures.

Show us your Eurogenes K13 finally and we'll see if the South Asian is real. This test is probably the least reliable one out there.

[JosephK]

You mean they didnt say what the remaining .1% was? cause some of us got south asian or oceanian.

The 0.1% means nothing, that's why they don't analyze it. It also means nothing if it says you have 0.1% South Asian, or Oceanian, or Meghrebi, or anything. It also doesn't matter if Eurogenes says you have 0.1% or 1.4% South Asian, or anything. None of these tests are that specific, they are simply using algorithms to generalize, or guess, made against averages.

[Dušan]

Still processing... :roll eyes

I guess it will say 85% Balkan, 12-13% Eastern Europe, 2-3% other.

As we discussed earlier, for hispanics every 1-5% native, chinese or african means we had an ancestor..

No calculator is so accurate that a 0.1 - 2% or so result has any true meaning. As I said earlier, it might, but it very much also might not. A different calculator may give you very different results with those small percentages. Someone with a distant Oceanian ancestor may show 1% or less result which is accurate; another person with no Oceanian ancestor, ever, may still show a 1% just because of the nature of the algorithm of the calculator as well as what segments the calculator is calling "Oceanic" (another calc may call the the segment[s] SE Asian, Austronesian, whatever...).

Looking over the results posted here it seems like they’re doing a decent job, in some sense better than 23andme. For example they assigned you 4.9% Pakistan & Afghan and 4.5% Punjabi, whereas Kurds (Iraq) get 16-29% Pakistan & Afghan and 0 Punjabi. This is in contrast to 23andme where Kurds are assigned only 2-5% Central-South Asian and some Afghans are artificially 90% South Asian, basically throwing them in the same bucket as Indians just so they fit within their geographical borders without regard to the actual ancestry of Kurds, Persians, Afghans and Turks

So cool yes I think this test is about 90 95 percent accurate and it's becoming one of the top tests on Amazon. It's dumb when people here knock it for giving a country right next to their main country of origin. I'm really only intrigued on the south asian it's given some of us who didn't see that on other tests.

if we answer correctly by what we know of our ancestry it helps these tests be more accurate. I'm sure they don't take particular interest in any individual, no need to not answer those questions from my point of view. btw it took almost a week for me too, it's OK I guess, it's free anyway

it could be one full Gypsy greatgrandparent (around 20-30% Indian) or two half/part Gypsy greatgrandparents (10-20% Indian).

since some Tatars were at some point used as slaves and mixed with Gypsies, Gypsies must carry some East Asian admix for that, and they also mixed while in Persia and in the Ottoman empire on route to the Balkans, so any of these can be a signal of Gypsy ancestry for Romanians: South Asian/Indian, East Asian/Siberian, Turkish/Persian. or it can just be older Gypsy ancestry that got into the generic gene pool of the inhabitants of Romania, like African for Mediterraneans, i.e. not each Iberian scoring 4% African had an African greatgrandparent or recent ancestor, same for basic Siberian score in Eastern Euros

Interesting you got Indian whereas none of the Kurd results i posted got any

[Ion Basescul]

it could be one full Gypsy greatgrandparent (around 20-30% Indian) or two half/part Gypsy greatgrandparents (10-20% Indian).

since some Tatars were at some point used as slaves and mixed with Gypsies, Gypsies must carry some East Asian admix for that, and they also mixed while in Persia and in the Ottoman empire on route to the Balkans, so any of these can be a signal of Gypsy ancestry for Romanians: South Asian/Indian, East Asian/Siberian, Turkish/Persian. or it can just be older Gypsy ancestry that got into the generic gene pool of the inhabitants of Romania, like African for Mediterraneans, i.e. not each Iberian scoring 4% African had an African greatgrandparent or recent ancestor, same for basic Siberian score in Eastern Euros

Unmixed Roma people from Romania and Moldova score an average of 2.6% East Asian+Siberian+Amerindian, which is around the average for people from Romania and Moldova, hence not reliable to predict Gypsy admixture. South Asian alone is the main element, because in full Gypsies it's at about 25% compared to 2.6% Mongoloid, so by the time it reaches the individual who is 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16 and more removed it theoretically should disappear. But it doesn't, because unmixed Romanians/Moldovans still carry Mongoloid even without South Asian.

[Impaler]

Interesting you got Indian whereas none of the Kurd results i posted got any

[Grace O'Malley]

Like Ion Basescul yours looks almost 100% accurate

It's not what I would call accurate but it is similar to Global 25 or Eurogenes for me. I'm waiting for the Genomelink test. See below.


With the latest algorithm and the dataset, this report provides up to 17 European Ancestry breakdowns. This is the highest resolution in the Ancestry genetic testing market. Each ethnicity has a history. You’ll find tons of interesting stories about the groups.

XGMix provides the user with a detailed picture of their ancestry as reflected by their individual chromosomes.

I'm supposed to receive the results sometime this month.

I'd really like a deep ancestry test that uses ancient genomes.

[JosephK]

Yeah I didn't score any Indian... but relatively high Balkan, which often includes South Asian and MENA components.

Eastern European 50.2%
British and Irish 25%
Greek and Balkan 22.9%
French (Basque) 1%
Orcadian 0.8%

In a way, these results may be considered 100% accurate. I am impressed that they interpreted my almost completely English grandfather as "British and Irish" rather than German, as most calculators do. But due to the unreliable nature of these tests, it could just be coincidence.

I didnt give them accurate info in their questions about my ancestry as I believe a legitimate calculator should be able to determine something about ancestry anyway i wonder if they partly base their result based on peoples answers to ancestry questions if so or if thats what they use to help them then thats cheating. The questions they ask are about ancestry of parents and 4 grandparents ... i dint give them real answers and i dont have an ancestry result so its interesting.

Oh ya I never answered those optional ones either just the required ones like my ethnicity

[newdbr]

Mm no, I have an SSA ancestor that I confirmed. I did come across someone from the Mi’kmaq tribe on my family tree but I never score any native on tests so I dismissed it.

Well ok but papua new Guineans from Oceania are basically direct Africans so that could be it

Yes, FTDNA raw data is accepted in Gedmatch, MyHeritage, Yourdnaportal, Genoplot, Admixture studio, dna.land... almost all genetic research sites.
I dont know why is there problem with this one. I re-send my data to their help center.

[Luke35]

Its more than a week and they still havnt processed my ancestry result only traits etc.
Is it because I didnt let them cheat and didnt give consistant answers to their ancestry questions ?
Why should I , if they are legitimate they should be able work out my ancestry with their calculator.

I actually wouldn't mind telling them my paper trail, if it meant that they could then focus their calculator (remove irrelevant populations), to model me accordingly. I'd be more interested how I could be modeled with the most relevant populations, rather than them making a statistical guess as to how to phase my result.

I will say that they should be transparent if they do in fact fine-tune their calculator when you provide your ancestral info i.e. 'If you provide your known ancestry, we can further refine and focus your result by adjusting our calculator'. That's okay with me.

But if they are not transparent about that, or worse yet simply manufacture a fake result based on how you answer their questions, obviously that's not cool.

I did not try this service, but if you get a good result I may give it a try.

I can confirm that they don't base it on the answers you give. I didn't fill in the details of my ancestry. Also my result only took about a day and they let you know when it is ready by email.

[newdbr]

I am now thinking that the ftdna uploads wont be finished processing ancestry because they say only upload 23andme myheritage or ancestrydna

Which raw data did you upload?

[mariusz99]

I've got a lot of German as well. Maybe they sourced the German component from Slavic Eastern Germans?
Bedouin and Eskimo - probably a noise.

My results:

EASTERN EUROPEAN 64.6%
GERMAN 33.8%
BEDOUIN 1.4%
SIBERIAN ESKIMO 0.1%

I don't remember my, my mother and my girlfriend results but...
I know that this company is the weakest on the market.
I have 50 % Slovenia, my mother 50 % Austria, and girlfriend 70-80 % Germany ....so, no...

But it's curious, I don't have Eastern European ( I checked) only Slovene, Germany, Ukraine

Maybe their references for Eastern Europeans are mostly Eastern Slavs.
Eastern European is a very broad category.
And Poles definitely fall genetically between Eastern Slavs and East Germanics.

Anyway, I think their ancestry estimation is very simplistic as for now. They can improve a lot.

That's right, she used to have that trace bit of "South Asian"- with more recent updates on 23andme, it has dissapeared. Her only non european points on there now is 1.0% "Cypriot" and 0.1% N.E. African..

<0.1% is definitely not real.

1%+ is what can usually be taken seriously. On some (actually many) calculators even 1+ percent may mean nothing.

The South Asian is likely just noise, but I guess it isn't totally impossible that the AJ side has an almost-all-washed-out-amount of Roma admixed in there...such unions were not unheard of, from what I recall. Still, probably nothing, especially since 23andme isn't giving many hints of Roma. Any other eastern euros get that high of S.A. on this calculator?

On MTA, my mom does get hits from Andronovo, Sintashta, and is like #2 on all the site for relation to Caspain Steppes sample (Which going by the dating appears to be Srubnaya)- all early Indo-Iranian people. I haven't seen a ton of other people's results to know if that is interesting for her to score, or not.

23andMe took away my South Asian with its later updates as well; I think as they grow their samples (of, say, Eastern Euros and Balkan people, etc) the range of a particular small component like SA will disappear into the averaged range for those Balkan/EE groups . Does that make sense?

Very much so- are you still of the thinking that your SA is legit Romani? Also, what other calculators would you recommend for fleshing out Roma admix?

Edit: I ran my mom's kit with MDLP World, top two-way oracle is:

1 91.6% Ukrainian-West + 8.4% Roma @ 0.83

[JosephK]

Very much so- are you still of the thinking that your SA is legit Romani? Also, what other calculators would you recommend for fleshing out Roma admix?

The real fact is that I appear to have inherited less of the South Asian component than I would have expected, since the family history is fairly clear, and that side of my family, including my first cousin, are phenotypically much more South Asian than I am (also, I suppose I should mention that the particular Hungarian Gypsy community my great-grandparents were part of, were possibly not as South Asian, as, say, 'full-blooded Balkan Roma'.)

But what I've really learned is that these calculators and the commercial tests really can't clearly define some components-- I've noticed that some chromosome segments labelled Indian or South Asian in some Gedmatch calculators (like HarappaWorld) are labelled (now) as Balkan in 23andMe (for instance).

My wife has the same problems, with her Italian rarely being picked up in tests. But as time has gone on, 23andMe has generalized results more so that the results are more accurate but less specific.

Yep, MDLP World (in my signature line) and LM Genetics K15 (AdmixtureStudio) are the only ones that see my Roma; MDLP World-22 and PuntDNAls catch it in a second cousin.

I gather that 3.5% SA is a bit high for what is normal for an otherwise Nw+Ne Euro person. Might be a sliver Roma here...that’s cool.

0.8 could likely be noise, or perhaps genuine distant Roma, or perhaps her SA is a signal related to something else. Curious to see her 23andme results (do note what JosephK said- 23andme has issues detecting Roma admix sometimes...he himself can confirm that he has a Romani G Grandparent, and he currently scores 0% SA on 23andme).
