DNA test results of Chris596

You're fully Hungarian, right?

Which part(s) of Hungary are you from?

Yes, in theory. My father is from Transylvania (Harghita county) and my mother's side is from Hungary (from all over the Alföld, her mother is from Szabolcs, her father is from Bihar county, yet I know that I had some ancestors in southern Hungary as well...)

[IrisSelene]

I can understand the Hungarian part. Most of them were probably also Balkanic. But my father lied about his Székely ancestry??

I think szekely are the ones most likely to score Balkan rather than the Hungarians from Hungary.

I wouldn't put too much stock in MyHeritage. Not sure if you can test with 23andMe or AncestryDNA where you live but those are preferable. As others have said, Gedmatch is probably your best bet in the meantime. Are you a Hungarian from Hungry or Transylvania?

[Chris596]

I think in your case they can be relatively interchangeable. It is clear that you have Magyar/Hun ancestry. However your elevated southwest Asian is odd. You may have Anatolian/Ottoman ancestry too

Hmm that's interesting. Is it high for a ,,Hungarian''? Another Hungarian member, Kökény got West-Asian results on 23andme.

Then I believe more in GEDmatch. My answer is in the 41th comment.

It's high for a typical Hungarian, but standard for all Balkan groups. I personally don't score any less than you do. Even Feichy does not, I believe.

If anything, I think it is more indicative of Hun/Magyar ancestry. Some of them were mixed with Central Asian Iranics as well. The other option would be Gypsies but you have 0 South Asian so it’s not possible

As someone who made shitload of ,,classify" threads, I have to say that physical anthropology is one big crap and means absolutely nothing as we can see.

PS. Welcome to Serbosphere XD

Before I showed my results... people would of assumed I was lying too by my phenotype (but in my case as a Portuguese). Phenotype does not always = genotype people... and it is all about genotype in the end.

Awesome results btw!

The Old Hungarians didn't mix with Central Asian Iranics.

Central Asian Iranics have South Asian as well.

Generally speaking, Transylvania Hungarians are said to have more Old Hungarian ancestry than those from Hungary. They also score more East Eurasian and South Asian which is usually associated with more Old Hungarian ancestry.

Magyars are Turkic confederation which came from Central Asia, why wouldn’t they have a couple Iranic nomads among them? I remember there was another Hungarian in Kaspias’s thread who had some minor Iranic as well. And nowadays central Asian Iranics have them but I’m talking about the ones absorbed by Turks. Uzbeks for example have distant Iranic ancestry evident by their south central Asian but they have no South Asian
