White American 23andme results

Lol this thread is pretty much the opposite of this one

Courtesy of racial segregation and the one drop rule, those two things kept them more "pure". White Americans are some of the most homogenous whites in the Americas. But also since these are people you are sharing with, I'd assume they have similar levels of ancestry as you and in areas with similar admixture levels as you also. Reason I say this, because I've seen quite a few in certain areas of the country that were commonly in the range of 93-95% more than this 97-100% range.

Yeah, it is a convenience sample. Nonetheless my relatives on this list are found all over America. From New England to Florida and the rest of the south, throughout the Midwest and on the west coast. Some I share Norwegian ancestors with, others German or colonial.




IT is my hope that many people share, so that there is a more complete picture.

It wouldn't shock me if some of the American results were given small percentages of Native American or African on purpose, since a good number of people use sites like 23andme to try to find "interesting" forgotten family histories.

Probably not, but it would be good marketing for the general American audience.

I assume most of those results are from people with minor Slav,Italian and Native mixture?

What I've noticed, is that it is easy to find articles on how much Sub Saharan African white Americans can score, but I can't find similar ones for Native American. I think that publishing such articles may be seen as discouraging potential customers looking to find evidence of their native American family stories from purchasing a kit.

They're from mutts. Probably a Pollock or something in the family tree. Could be some Northern Italians that came over during the colonial era? It's very minor in most. I have one listed that is half of colonial descent and half of recent Italian immigration.

Looks like White Americans don't score high in ancient Karelian or ancient Armenian; interesting.

On a more serious note, I think the East Euro scoring also have a higher German/French score. Polish immigrants were more around the Germans.

I noticed that significant amount of Europeans(both USA/Europe etc) score 0.1-0.3% East Asian and some Euro's even score specifically 0.1% Yakut for some reason. I guess it's an ancient link with the Ancient Northern Eurasian population.(or maybe just noise)
