Pontic Greek Gedmatch results

[Roman-Anatolian]

Very interesting results! Most Pontic Greek results we have so far are close to Caucasian groups. Yours are half Caucasian-like and the rest is similar to Greek Islander or maybe Smyrniot results.
However there is an explanation.
The Pontic Greek samples we have so far are from Trabzon area. We don't have samples from Western Pontus. Your Trabzon side seems typical. Your Western Pontus side is different but in fact may be typical for the region. We need samples from this area and it is very useful to see your results.
Could you also post your K15? I would like to see both your mixed mode (press oracle) and 4 (oracle 4)populations results.

[AncientGreek]

Not necessarily true. Pontus and Principality of Theodoro which was a Greek/Gothic Crimean mix was a brother/sister type relationship - meaning alot of trade occured between these two people.

Not overly atypical at all - you see some Pontians that are fairly light and others that look full Iranic. They are as diverse as any other people on the planet.

I've seen hundreds of Pontic Greek results on GEDMatch, this is the first time I've seen one score such high North Atlantic + Baltic, higher than Dodecanese islanders in fact. I'm almost certain he has a European grandparent, that's why I want to see the results to the commercial test he took.

Pontians typically score Azov_Greek in almost every result and that alone scores high Baltic.

North Atlantic is another discussion which does make it interesting.

I'm not sure which Pontians you've seen, but most I have kits of are closest to Armenian. This one from Imera, Georgia:

Pontic Georgian mixes or Pontic Armenian mixes are not Pontic Greek. The one you posted is close to a Kurdish result.

Pontic Greeks almost always score Cyprian, Greek_Crete and Azov_Greek in their results. Besides Pontian results are largely hit and miss.

I agree. Besides I think xripkan is onto something. From what he understands we haven't seen Pontic Greek results west Western Pontus region (Giresun area) before, until now.

[AncientGreek]

Mixes? There are 100s of Pontic Greeks on GEDMatch with the exact same admixture, from Georgia, Turkey, you name it. OP is hugely abnormal and needs to share one of MyHeritage/23andme/FTDNA/AncestryDNA results before I beleive he doesn't have a non-Pontic parent/grandparent.
