Kyp's 23andme results (disappointed)

[Jana]

Yes, I'm curious about the new MH update. I will be surprised if it will match the accuracy of 23andme, let alone if it surpasses it (but I doubt that).

New 23andme isn't very good at all, Kyp is actually lucky to get 50-50 split. TheMaestro is 80% or 90% Balkan according to them, and he is half Hungarian from Slovakia.
Also, 23andme is doing extreme smoothing which means they will exeggerate your predominant ancestry and erase your minor ones thus people will come out artificaly purer or more monoethnic than they are.

Let's see how will your results go, wish you luck ofc!

I also didn't get any trace Central Asian despite being 3-4%Mong on Gedmatch.

Thanks!

There's one thing that I've learned this year, after trying out tons of calculators, admixture softwares, G25, etc, which is:

- 23andme is (in my opinion) still the best company if you want to find out your recent ancestry and the actual regions where your ancestors came from, no other software or company (except like AncestryDNA I think) can do this at the moment. Of course, this doesn't work for everyone, but usually they nail it.

- another thing, which is more personal, that despite I'm Hungarian (half Szekely and half Hungarian), I score almost like a full Serb and I even have many South Slavic matches on GEDmatch and Myheritage. This is why I was hella curious to do 23andme, to see if they show other countries like Serbia because I have a feeling... you know? And my maternal great grandfather was born in southeast Hungary, close to where the modern Serbian border is today.

And of course to find out other minor things like mtDNA, traits, etc. which 23andme offers

Neither east euro! It's very strange how you got no German regions as well, you are half actual German from Germany and most Amerimutts who are minor part German got them.
Very weird. In my 23andme me French and German went down from 12% to 1%, with new update for old chips it will probably go down to 0. Dissapointing.

But to offer you some comfort, when Stears tested on V5 he initialy got no regions in Romania either. With update he got a lot.
You will probably get German and more detailed west Asian regions with next update.

They split it perfectly. You are probably not an exact 50/50 split because of how segment inheritance works.

Well, they confirmed what you already knew lol

Very disappointed:
- I didn't even get regions for my German ancestry
- No French, no Eastern European.
- No Iranian region from where I have actual paper-trail ancestry

That is because none of your DNA REALTIVES grandparents ( that is the furthest 23andme asks its clients) are from those regions and who are closely related to you has been tested by 23andme.

So you have close DNA relatives on 23andme whose grandparents are from Tehran, Mardin, and one more region. Plus Ankara and one more region tested on 23andme.

It seems to me all the tools on 23andme and for that matter, all the tools that we have are very limited.

Semnan, Iran (where part of our family was relocated) but I do not have ancestry from there, just relatives. Same goes for Tehran.

Anatolia: Ankara & Sivas

23andme only asks for your grandparent's place of birth, if they were born in Tehran then to them that is where you are from.


edit: Also to answer these questions is not mandatory. So many people may not even answer them which makes their tool even more flawed.

23andme is getting shitty day by day. I guess it only suits for White Americans, Carribeans and Latinos

Yes that makes sense, a large part of our tribe lives in Tehran and Western Semnan. Maybe Zanjan samples are limited.
