Hello to the forum. I am new here, so sorry if i make any mistakes.

I am a Pomak from Northern Greece. I recently did a DNA test from MyHeritage with results as below.


Greek and Albanian
41.5%
Northeastern Greece, Turkey and Bulgaria
Balkan
33.6%
East European
14.1%
South Italian
6.9%
North Italian
1.1%
Asia
Georgian
2.8%


Some people recommended to do GedMatch tests, which i did but the results are confusing and i don't know how to "read" them and what they mean.

These are the dodecad K12b results :


Population Percentage
Gedrosia 3.04%
Siberian 2.19%
Northwest_African 2.19%
Southeast_Asian -
Atlantic_Med 25.29%
North_European 31.27%
South_Asian 1.67%
East_African -
Southwest_Asian 6.41%
East_Asian -
Caucasus 27.95%
Sub_Saharan -

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello!

Have you installed your cords? Do you know them?

Where in Greece are you from, if I may ask?

You can see how you compare to other populations using the Dodecad spreadsheet
