My MyHeritage results

[Lemminkäinen]

Boring results. What do you expect of my results? Finnish? Scandinavian? But South Italian or Greek? No way! Myheritage doesn't use vectors to define average position as f.ex. G25 and admixture projects ususlly. Instead of this it tries to find genetic "fingerprints", like also 23andMe does. I don't know what kind of fingerprints, they don't tell it exactly, but the difference to 23 is that 23 serves US genealogists giving them the most probable origin of shared ancestry. If an American want to know if she/he has an ancestor from France, she/he mostly doesn't care to know all minor ancestries of his French gggfather.

My Finnish ancestry is extremely exact, so they have to have knowledge about the Finnish genetic geography. I also suggest the the Swedish proportion can be right, but I have also other NW European ancestries, only small shares though. South European is surprising. I didn't know any South European ancestors inside given Myheritage's time frame (400 years), but I have a lot heterozygotes of southern origin, i.e.HLA-gene is mostly southern. I suggest that the southern ancestry is older than 400 years. Sometimes inherited alleles remain circulating for a longer time.

I imagine you now saying all this doing dramatic hand gestures like a true Italian. Off the bus.

[Beowulf]

Is your Genetic group Accurate?

And congrats for your results :thumb001:

Haha. But only with 3.4% speed or wideness.

My Finnish group is absolutely accurate. I guess Swedish too.

If I was bad at maths I might throw a hissy fit too but 3.4% does not seem significant especially since it is not SSA or aboriginal Australian or oceanian.

Myheritage has me as 40% English, 22.x% Scandinavian and 35.x % Irish, Scottish and Welsh w/ 1.6% central Asian but I don't bug out about 1.6%.

In reality its is extremely better than G25 moderns which breaks me down as Norwegian and NorthEast Spanish (nigga say what ?!! 10% or over Spanish ?!). G25 ancients can be decent --perhaps not raw dog, though :

1. ) 0.034 65% DEU_Karsdorf_LN + 35% England_N

https://allelocator.ovh/Oracle2way.html

^ that seems to match my Myheritage modern more or less : Lower or middle Saxony-Anholt Germany Late Neolithic and 35% English Neolithic or a proxy for Welsh/Iirish/Scottish.

G]...

Congratulations.

You are 100% Finnish the other ethnicities/origins your results shown just show some N-S&W-E tendencies not necessarily any real ancestry from those regions.

Near just the opposite results you had, close distance and I have not any known British ancestry.

0.031 gixajo_scaled = 61% England_N + 39% DEU_Karsdorf_LN

How do you figure this?

[Figaro]

Don’t take the southern euro percentage too seriously. It gave my father 15% Iberian. The AC at MH is renowned for being not great.

[Lemminkäinen]

How do you figure this?

My heterozygosity reveals southern alleles. I know I have them, but I have no answers how it can be explained. Many alleles being usually homozygous in the north are heterozygous in my data, but then it can be vice versa in some other positions. For example in X chromisome which recombinates slowly I have tens SNP's long southern blocks, which of course rarely exists all over Europe, actually sometimes identified as African, but common in South Europe. If someone wants to compare with own data I can give an example. HLA is another region with constant regions and mine is mostly South European. HLA is crucial and can't recombinate wildly. Idk more, ask from geneticists. I think I have a Jewish ancestor from the 17th century, but it barely explains 3.4%. Maybe I have 10 Jews, not yet revealed, lol.

Here a study of HLA gene distributions.

Only 3.4 percent is just overfitting, probably to account for the bit of Neolithic farmer in you.

Norwegian + a quarter Spanish is normal for average Anglo Saxons like you, G25 overfit you with two populations that would equal the amount of farmer, steppe, and whg heritage you have (which would equal the average british isles person). The distance is the other important thing, if your sample is drifted then it might not be that useful for finding the best closest matches in G25.

Why Americans get offended of my result?

quite accurate

[Voskos]

Greek and South Italian = mix of Greeks , aka Slavized Grecoroman mongrels and South Italians aka Germanicized + Hellenized Italians etc . Not even a real population, just several trace ancestries.

James 35% Irish, Welsh & Scottish is obviously not a proxy for English Neolithic as all Neolithic populations were southern shifted due to higher Farmer input where Irish, Welsh & Scottish is completely different. Anyway MyHeritage always gives people some small percentages of ancestry that they don't have.

Speaking of GGs on MyHeritage my cousin's daughter is on MyHeritage and while also her ancestry is Irish she got this GG from MyHeritage Finland (Northern Ostrobothnia and Lapland). She did get 16.5% Scandinavian and 6.1% Finnish with 77.4% Irish, Scottish and Welsh but she does not have any Scandinavian or Finnish ancestry and her father is on Ancestry and is 88% Ireland and 12% Scotland so MyHeritage is most probably the most inaccurate dna company but their raw dna is very good.

MH could be the best if they updated their dataset. They have probably the best raw data at the lowest price and I think makes it most worth it. I always found G25 the most accurate for actual admixture accuracy.
