Gedmatch:. Are your parents related

[Lemminkäinen]

This could sound like a sensitive issue, but I don't think it is. The Finns are often said to be small, isolated and inbred population. I simply don't know. There are many questions, like approval of cousin marriages and effective population size. The latter implies how even today large populations can look like a smaller one as to the genetic structure. My parents are both from the same Finnish region, but in Finland cousin marriages were banned for hundreds years. So I am a bit confused about what my results means. Neither Gedmatch gives answers, only results and I don't know how reliable these results are. I hope people could post results here. We have no real world evidence that children born of cousin marriages are vulnerable to diseases or something bad, although claims of that are usual, especially in America where many see Europe as a more inbred place. Disease carriers are another question and based on rare mutations, which of course are forwarded to children. Here is my result:

One segment.
Largest segment = 10.8 cM
Total of segments > 7 cM = 10.8 cM

It is culturally forbidden among Turks to marry relatives. We count relativity up to 7 generations, as a rule, and any relativity connection below 7 generations means you can not marry. In fact, I believe, this is one of the reasons for exaggerated genetic replacement in some regions. A similar case for Pomaks, in which cousin marriages relatively do not occur. However, this thread gave me the idea that I can check the parental relativity of all kits I have and collect them as an applicable data.

For my case: No shared DNA segments found

Funnily my parents are indeed sharing a common ancestor in the past few generations.

Largest segment = 25.2 cM
Total of segments > 7 cM = 36 cM
This analysis indicates that your parents may be distantly related.

Not true for Central Anatolian and Eastern Anatolian Turks.

This counts for every part of Turkey, I know people from Black Sea area, Western amd Southern Turkey who married relatives. The grandmother of my brother in law who is a Balkan Turk said to me that they also have marriages between relatives when she told me her family stories, I am not a Balkan Turk so I can’t say anything about that, also besides of the family of my sisters husband I never met Balkan Turks, so I trust to Kaspias too, maybe it changes every region or whatever, idk.

Marriages between relatives were very common everywhere in Turkey, nowadays they marry at most someone from the same village, only very rural people let their children marry with relatives.

I wouldn't think so since my dad was a peninsular Spaniard and my mom is Canarian (although genetically they are basically peninsular Spaniard and Portuguese + minor guanche) but my parents both come from small towns where most of my ancestors lived for centuries so I wouldn't doubt there was some inbreeding happening....

There's no way my parents are related, they are very different from one-another, one is southern one is northeastener, very different origins, the only thing in common is Portuguese. Neither are my paternal grandparents, one is bessarabian, the other southern brazilian.

My maternal grandparents in the other hand maybe distantly related.
