Where do you think my European ancestry would plot on a PCA

Mt father is a quarter Swiss German, one eighth Montenegrin Serb, one eighth North Italian from Trento and half Neapolitan, and my mom is half Chinese, one quarter Sicilian, and one quarter North Italian from Emilia Romagna. Where would my European ancestry likely plot on a PCA?

Hungarian. We're all Hungarians, in general.

Northern or North Central Italy most likely.

Yeah actually that is a lot of Italian...

Where is your Chinese part from? You do realize that's the most populous country in the world and there is certain diversity inside China.

I believe Shanghai, but I'm mostly curious about where my European ancestry would look like if it was maxed to 100 percent European. There aren't any South Chinese/Mediterranean European countries, so I don't think I'd plot any where near a Central Asian country.

You're probably gonna plot with Balkan or Crimean Tatars or something.

Sure, your European ancestry would plot somewhere between Tuscany and Rome IMO. And your Asian part should be pretty much purely East Asian.
