Cool and welcome! What are your components from Gedmatch? You can discuss your results with other Spanish members.Quote:
I was tested in 2015, and it's interesting to see FTDna change from version 2 to Version 3 (but neither amazed me like checking GEDMatch today, which nailed my ancestry from the region of La Mancha - both my parents. going back generations, are from two small towns in that area):
- # FTDna - My Origins (Version 2):
** 95% Iberia
** 2% S.E. Europe (which, for FTDna, included not just Greece & the Balkans, but also Italy)
** Trace-levels (<1%) of East Middle East, East-Central Africa, Siberia & Finland.
** FTDna - (Version 3 update:
100% Southern Europe
- Iberian Peninsula 79%
- Basque 21%
- European Jewish (Ashkenazi Jewish) <1%
** GEDMatch: Distance from Spanish_Castilla_La_Mancha sample (source)=1.76

** If anyone can explain why Family Tree DNA claims that I have considerable Basque ancestry, please, help me out (LOL).
- Are all Spaniards & Portuguese (and, I imagine, most French and a sizeable percentage of Italians) now considered partly Basque?
- For that matter, when did the Basque, the oldest population in the region, cease to be of "the Iberian Peninsula"?
