Are my DNA results consistent?

It doesn’t go into depth, but I do get Egyptian so maybe there? I will try and find out

Mia, where are the Middle Eastern matches from?

According to ancestry our shared ethnicity is Egypt and countries surrounding it and but they seem to have more african results. As for the Balkan is hard to tell because it doesn’t go any further, all I can say is I have 550 Eastern European matches and 331 of them are Balkan.

Check your cousin matches on other sites. You can also pm them. The maps on AncestryDNA are generic, unless Egypt is specified for you.

Yup I have, myheritage I have about 390 Balkan relatives and about 480 Eastern Europe ones but again it doesn’t pin point what countries and as for Middle Eastern it’s coming to about 10 relatives.
