Both my dad's parents are both Greek, from Arcadia in the Peloponnese region and from what I know they have don't have recent ancestry from anywhere else. There may possibly be one Jewish relative from generations ago, one of my Grandma's great great grandmother had a non-Greek sounding surname, "Guidzias", which I researched and it may be of Hebrew origin.
My mum's father is an ethnic Malayali from Kerala region in South India and her mother is Malaysian Indian, most likely Malayali but I am not 100% sure, may have some Tamil ancestry. They are are all Christian Indians, if that makes a difference and have roots in Quilon and Kochi.
My parents originally had these results:
Dad
Europe
92% Italy/Greece
5% Europe East
2% European Jewish
<1% Europe West
Mum
Asia
76% Asia South
21% Asia East
Pacific Islander
2% Polynesia
1% Melanesia
Then there was an update to my dad's results, but not to my mum's.
Europe
92% Greece, Turkey and Albania
5% Eastern Europe
2% European Jewish
<1% Europe West
Here is my dad's results after the most recent update, the update option wasn't available for my mum's.
Dad
94% Greece and the Balkans
2% Eastern Europe and Russia
3% Italy
Conclusion:
I think the results are definately getting more accurate, also I am surprised my dad didn't have any Caucasus percentage. My grandma did the test and showed a little Caucasus and some Western European oddly enough.
I also think that South Asian reference samples they use have got to be disproportionately North Indian DNA, I seriously doubt my mum has any recent East Asian ancestry. Her South Indian dna is being mislabelled as East Asian in my opinion.
Also does anyone know why my mum can't update her results? It just says her results are already up to date.
