Ok, long time to do this post here, but maybe I can get some advice.
I've 10% North African mix genetically speaking; the problem is how it fits with my genealog and other things.
I'm 70% Italian (being 20% North Italian from mother side and 25% North Italian from father side + 25% South Italian from mother side) plus 5% from a Slovenian side. Well, those infos are easy to work on, so anything "Italian" that appears from my side, that's ok.
The problem is those last 25%. While it's brazilian by itself, I got some different results from anywhere, like :
- 10% North African at MyHeritage and some Gedmatch calculators,
- 4% Central Asian at FTDNA, which turns into 4% South Asian at MyHeritage and some calculators.
While I have some SSA and Amerindian by logical means (Colonial background), I really don't know if I have in fact some Berber background (since it's hard to find North Italians or Portuguese/Spanish people - except Canarians) with 10% North African; as I know, one part of my family came from Lebanon, but seems they aren't Lebanese at all and maybe they are in fact from anywhere with a small Central Asia/South Asia admixture.
Besides that, most calculators give me a little to none Arabic mixture (not talking about East Med or West Asia in fact - anyway, they could appear at some amount because my South Italian mix), therefore everything turn into a mess. So, no clue about anything.
TLDR: Genetic mess from grandfather side.
