Hi everyone,
I recently took the AncestryDNA test as well as the Gedmatch tests to further dig into my roots - however the more I do it, the more confusing it gets! Can someone help me interpret my results?
Little back story to my heritage, I am Finnish from my dad's side (not much mixing in there) and I am Israeli (more specifically Moroccan and Berber Jew from my mom's side). However, when I run tests in Gedmatch, it keeps giving me results that differ, I was wondering what is the most accurate one when you're trying to trace your Jewish roots?
My AncestryDNA results are:
47% Finland/Northwest Russia
19% Middle-East
10% Iberian Peninsula
9% Europe South
5% European Jewish
3% Great Britan
3% Caucasus
3% Africa North
1% Europe East
My Gedmatch results:
