Laly's DNA test

[dududud]

Peu importe. Les résultats semblent correspondre à ta généalogie : portugaise + tes autres origines

Rien de bien étrange. Quant à tes traits, comme je l'ai dit : cela pourrait autant venir du père que de la mère ; d'une combinaison de plusieurs ancêtres.

[Laly]

This is what Peterski told me:

In terms of single distances / genetic similarity to one population, you are closest to France.

All of your top most similar regions are French, followed by North Italians & South Germans:

(this closeness to France is due to being a mix of South European + North European parents)

^^^ But obviously your actual % breakdown of "paper genealogy" is more like what you scored, right?

Probably too much British in your results (?), but it could represent ancient Armorican Celts and Belgae.

I recently updated Netherlands, these are all the Dutch regions that 24Genetics currently reports:

Europe NL Flevoland
Europe NL Drenthe
Europe NL Friesland
Europe NL Limburg
Europe NL Overijssel
Europe NL Gelderland
Europe NL Groningen
Europe NL Noord Brabant
Europe NL Noord Holland
Europe NL Zuid Holland
Europe NL Utrecht
Europe NL Zeeland

^^^
All these regions were present in the algorithm at the time you took the test, but you didn't score any of them.

As for Belgium - I admit that Belgian references are still not perfect, they will need some updates in the future.

Maybe with updates in the future your United Kingdom score will decline, & some Belgium will show up instead.

====

I think minor Sephardic Maghreb & Libya can be real. Very few Europeans score Libya, not even such small amounts.

As for Russian - I've heard that a lot of Russian aristocracy escaped to France during the Bolshevik Revolution.

Are you sure you don't have any Russian aristocracy in your bloodline?

[Laly]

No, I mean going by those results of yours you are very similar to a lot of ethnic French people.

That's just an oracle, it models/predicts your possible ethnic makeup with the references it has in store. I'm not sure what ADC stands for but it kinda reduces the number of populations used. I'm talking about Vahaduo, that's what the tool is called.

Are you quarter Portuguese with the rest being Belgian and French?

Thank you for your explanations! My father is completely Portuguese and my mother is of Belgian and Luxembourgish nationality, but she also has Dutch, German, English ancestors. Both my parents have small slanted eyes.

I have been told I look like this ancestor of Dutch descent:

Perhaps you are related to Zinaida Yusupova

Princess Zinaida Nikolayevna Yusupova was an Imperial Russian noblewoman, the only heiress of Russia's largest private fortune of her time. Famed for her beauty and the lavishness of her hospitality, she was a leading figure in pre-Revolutionary Russian society. Wikipedia
Born: September 2, 1861, Saint Petersburg, Russia
Died: November 24, 1939, Paris, France

Interesting. So basically half Iberian half Celto-Germanic if I were to put it in a succinct way. Totally Western European.

Hello! Thank you for your kind message. I'm very moved you're asking about my husband and my baby. They're doing well and my daughter is wonderful! I wish you're fine too. Do you think I look French?

I would say you look more Iberian than French or Belgian, at first sight

[Laly]

Usually in these calculators a distance greater than 5 is "far", as the closer you get to zero, the closer you are to those reference populations listed, thus, the more accurate the result. By "even split" I mean Vahaduo measures you as exactly 50% South_Dutch, 50% Portuguese.

Basically what I'm saying is that even though the calculated distance to the result is "far" by Vahaduo standards, the calculator still measures your results as exactly 50% South_Dutch (the closest population to Belgium in the calculator) and 50% Portuguese, which as far as I can tell, is essentially your actual ancestry (South_Dutch being the closest population the calculator has to Belgian).

Sorry if it all sounds confusing, I know all this stuff can be overwhelming at first.

Thank you very much for these explanations adapted to the neophyte I am!

Iberian would be your first guess, if you didn't know anything about me?

Is that you on the signature picture ?

You look like Sophie Marceau in side pictures
