I can't discount other hypotheses though.

Are you really Sicilian? Not the average Sicilian for sure.

Your result is coherent with the study about Sicilians I posted here on TA some weeks ago: Sicilians are a mediterranean people.

I quote myself.
According to this study the oldest genetic input in Sicilians were the Sicelian (originated in Calabria 128 generations ago), the Elymian and the Greek, the most recent were the Spanish and the Albanian one (18 and 20 generations ago). The scheme illustrates all the peoples who contrinuted in the genetics of Sicilian and for everypeople it says how many generation have intercurred from their supposed contribution.

The main core of Sicilian is so probably a Greek-Italic-Anatolian mixture with a lot of more recent foreign admixtures added.

The only problem is that it doesn't say how much important the contribution was. It is just speculation so far.

I can trace all my ancestry to the town of Alcara Li Fusi which was pretty isolated for a long time. And I might not be the average Sicilian, but I still may be the average person for my region of Sicily (Nebrodi Mountain area) or my village.

My Sicilian Grandmother and My Great Grandfather were from Sicily and had red hair. I'm pretty sure he was descended from the Normans among other things. What leads me to believe this is I have a lot of Norwegian matches in ancestry finder which could have only come from the Normans or German ancestors who moved to Norway. But that being said the Normans were usually had more Celtic admixture than actual Germanic after marrying in with the local Celtic population of Northern France.

Your results will be the same regardless of what you tell them.

In general there seems not to be much Norman influence in Sicily. I read somewhere that there weren't more than a few thousand of them. The main people they brought who settled were mercenaries, if I remember correctly mainly from Northern Italy, Southern Italy, & Provencal people from Southern France.

Another thing to note is that red hair is not indicative of Northern European ancestry. The mutation which makes a person have red hair is very old & precedes the mutation for blonde hair. You will find a very very small minority of Native redheads throughout the greater Mediterranean region, European & not European.

What do you think the estimated Jewish population number/percentage was in Sicily and/or what do you think the estimated Jewish admixture percentage is in Sicilians?
