The only reason why I did a DNA test was to find out whether the Dutch ancestry would be confirmed, but I knew it would hardly show up, as 10 generations have passed since the Dutch invaded my area (Pernambuco). A lot of people today in my region still have that non-Portuguese appearance, many of them indeeed have some Dutch blood, but due to the circumstances, their roots had to be forgotten as they were persecuted. According to studies, Dutch people could have contributed to at least 1 million people's DNA in the northeast. I have Wilker in my family tree (same as Jose Wilker, who is also from my city), but the known Dutch heritage came from my fathers side (as far as I know). They just knew they descended from Dutch, my great great grandfather had no surname, later on they addopted "Cazuza" (menino danado) as their surname, but this surname was not passed down to us.
After getting my results I found out I had 7% Scandinavian, of course this number is inflated, but when I checked my distant cousins, many of them were non Portuguese... some were Dutch, some were Norwegian (5th cousin), some Finnish... the only thing we know well is my Portuguese mothers side, as the Alencar family has been involved in some wars with other families and some movements like the Pernambucan Revolution and Equador Confederation, they also have a small museum, which kept our history alive, other than that is just common knowledge. My parents did not finish high school, my grandparents didn't go to school, yet we knew we had some Dutch and we know there were some Jewish... it was not until I had history class and understood how our region was colonized that I understood that this "tale" could reflect reality. And the same goes to the African and Native American heritage... we know we have it, but don't know when, who, how, where. I have no recent European contribution to my DNA. All my family came to "Brazil" before the 1700s. All my family comes from small villages from the Northeast (Pernambuco, Paraíba, Alagoas, Ceará), small villages whose habitants are predominantly white and light features (eyes/hair) are very common.
I have ancestry from the interior of PE, my granny is light haired and eyed, blueish/gray, I strongly suspect she has Dutch, along with the family tales ofc. I'll PM u so we can talk about it better. That's why I suspect that I have a little Dutch + my confirmed Flemish, but I'd have never guess it would be over 20%

This dna test is not representative of recent ancestors: FTDNA seems to reflect the ancestors of people over 2000 years (according to themselves; people of FTDNA was told me that by email when I asked them a question).
For example, a person could be 95% European on FTDNA (get 5% from minor asia) and at the same time 100% of European origin on 23andme.
I'm of South Italy, central Apulia. The new MyOrigins is better then the oldest.
My old result: 65% South Europe and 35% Asia Minor
My results are now accurate:
European 98% : Southest Europe 94% , West and Central Europe 4%;
Traces: South Central Asia, South America, West Middle Est.

You are the pure Scottish, congrats!
This does not seem "accurate" for everyone, because I have seen people who have totally fanciful results and do not match their genealogical ... after, according to FTDNA, the results reflect our origins on more than 2000 years ... so, not recent ancestors (not on the last 1000 years).
I'm southern Italy. Based on my documented genealogy in each branch up to 1400, and for some branches even further, I have also far ancestors of North Italy,Croatia, England, France, German, Spain, and the oldest Normans and Lombards. These are also confirmed by the match from these Nations on FTDNA.
In my case, the new MyOrigins is better then the oldest.I expected only a percentage or trace at least from Spain.
I'm not all too sure that this is accurate.
As, I really don't think I have Eastern European Ancestry. Besides Iberian, I have German, British, and Norwegian ancestry.... Where did my British and German go?
Also, Asia Minor? I wonder if that could be my Sephardic Ancestry.

nvm... Era then dont troll if you cant take some trolling back, to make it worse i was not trolling. :D
On the profile page, new health report is available, you can check it now. Who ordered it already for 50$?
No need to be shy. You should order it and post the results here so we can see it. Who is the first?
I have read it as I scored 100% Southeast Europe lol. It says that these people are the most related to the Neolithic farmers that settled there, it is Med in a sense since the Balkans are Med but it isn't conclusively Med, the reference for this category is Italy, Greece and the Balkans although it is mostly concentrated in the Balkans as Balkanites are the ones that score 100% of this mainly Albos, I would like to see some more Greek results tbh and see if they also score 100% Southeast Euro as well
Maybe or maybe not we will never know I guess lol but I wouldn't say East Europe as that is linked with Slavs in the new MyOrigins but they definitely were mainly Southeast Europe . I didn't make up the reference Ftdna did and it mainly seems to be of Balkan influence and not Italian as you don't see Italians getting 100% Southeast Europe but Balkanites on the other hand do, and I don't know where you saw it saying that it is Greek and Roman, it does mention them but it doesn't say that the cluster is made up of those groups. Have you tested?
From Ftdna: "Southeast Europe
The Southeast Europe cluster consists of present day populations from the areas of Italy, Greece, and the western Balkan states from Bulgaria to Croatia.
Present day populations in the Southeast Europe cluster show some of the highest rates of genetic relatedness to the second wave of migration into Europe roughly 11,000 years ago. This wave of migration consisted of Neolithic farmers from the fertile crescent and expanded primarily into southern Europe, incorporating small scattered European hunter-gatherer communities along their path.
The island of Sardinia, having early evidence of postglacial hunter-gatherer inhabitants, was not permanently settled until this migration of Neolithic farmers from the fertile crescent populated it roughly 8,000 – 7,000 years ago. Although a key position in early Mediterranean trade routes, the populations of Sardinia remained relatively isolated genetically, and today, represent a particularly unique connection to Southeast European Neolithic ancestry.
Populations within the Italian peninsula and Greek and Baltic states, however, display more genetic diversity having experienced waves of migration and the rise and fall of numerous civilizations. The Ancient populations on the Italian peninsula generally consisted of the Greek colonies in the south, Etruscan cities in west-central Italy and north of Rome, and Italian cultures – such as Samnites and the Umbrians - who inhabited Rome and central Italy. The western Baltics were largely small kingdoms until the rise of Alexander the Great’s father Philip II of Macedon (present day Macedonia).
Migrations from Alexander the Great and the Roman expansion, as well as migrations from Slavic tribes, having been forced from the Carpathians by Germanic tribes in the 5th - 6th centuries, into this region illustrate the international reach of these early civilizations.
The Southeast Europe cluster is home to civilizations that many consider to have founded the principles of Western civilization, and continue to influence modern politics, art, and architecture. Greek and Roman influence spans the western and southern regions of this cluster, while the influence of the Hellenistic world of Macedonia and Alexander the Great encompass the Western Balkan states."
Btw the author or whatever they are called accidentally calls the western Balkans Baltic at one point
