Greek Islands/Cretan 23andme results after the update and the "Italian" vs "Greek/Balkan"

[Sikeliot]

Some of these score as much Italian, as some of the Sicilians/Calabrians I have. The amount of West Asian is roughly equal to their range.

I really wonder if these people have specific regions of Italy showing up since they score so much Italian.

This is my sister-in-law's results. Her mother is from Sparta, and her father from Central-Western Greece.







I can't take any of these results seriously.

100% Samos, right?

Samos speaks a Greek dialect close to that of northern Greece. This could have arrived from the mainland and explain the genetics there being a bit different from other islands.

100% Samos. For many generations.

This is my sister-in-law's results. Her mother is from Sparta, and her father from Central-Western Greece.







I can't take any of these results seriously.

I have also 9,2% Italian likely match with ancestry from these three regions but for me it is first apulia (deep blue) and then Calabria and Sicily. This 23andme update made things more clear about the Italian results. If it was from north regions it could indicate some ancestry but now it must be just genetic similarity.

Hahaha idiot

Samos culture is very Islandish and Western Asia Minor Greek
I don't know about their dialect but what you claim is pathetic

This is a folk song from Samos

I agree, definitely
