Elite Colonial Brazilian DNA results

[Adamastor]

From Rio de Janeiro. All of her ancestors were established in Brazil by 1800. She comes from a family of diplomats and colonial administrators.
The ''Italian'' is likely MyHeritage bullshit (I'm mostly Italian and I have more Balkanic than Italian there lol).

She seems to be almost fully Portuguese (at least 95%-96%). The 0,9% ''Nigerian'' could have come from the Portuguese and it seems MyHeritage ''MesoAmerican'' category is based on Mestizos.




Her pic (she's 95 now):




I've always said that, Brazil is the only Latin American country with near full or even full European colonial individuals.

I agree, Brazil have an abnormal quantity of persons that are in Americas for about 300-400 years and still are almost full iberian.

Basically a Portuguese with 3% Amerindian.

You cannot find such results in other Latin American countries.

No. Germans and Italians arrived after the colonial period.

Yeah, she's basically a Portuguese with very minor Amerindian admixture.

Estimating the exact quantity of Amerindian or SSA through GEDmatch in people who are above 85% European is hard because some Europeans can score these components in minor amounts (1-4% depending on the individual) as well.

This woman is likely in between 96-98% Portuguese.

yes, it must be at least 98% Portuguese ... She has a small percentage Amerindian, but part of that same percentage may not be exactly Amerindian, but maybe something old from the region of Siberia that also have some Europeans

[Cumansky]

My Mother is more SSA than this person is almost Portuguese (they are Portuguese) and supposed to have highest SSA in Europe

Brazilian Colonial Elite don't have too much Italian / German blood?

No, white people from South Brazil have this german-italian combo and they are from XIX century. Espírito Santo, Mato Grosso and Mato Grasso do Sul could be included in this category too.

Sao Paulo has a lot of whites with both colonial and italian ancestry.

Most whites in the rest of Brazil are colonials with only some exceptions, they are mainly iberian and arrived centuries ago. They live mostly as white minorities in 20-45% white states.
