Slovene DNA Results

28.19% : 21.81% : 22.02% : 27.98%

It’s Grandparent 1 : untested parent of Parent : Grandparent 2 : other untested grandparent. Doesn’t seem like a significant deviation, although I’m not sure how common that is.

Thanks, neither me.

I've none of my grandparents tested (all deceased), but by comprehensive chromosome painting, resulting in 80% of the DNA getting painted and extrapolation to 100%, I found out that the DNA from one pair of grandparents was inherited as skewed as abt. 35%:15%. I regard that borderline and assess it to be within the 1% most extreme cases.

My grandparents are 90 and 89. The other two have been deceased for quite some time, so there was never an option to have them tested. Fortunately, my tested grandparents come from each of my parents, so it enables phasing for both of them.

I’m glad you were able to find out your inheritance percentages. 15% does seem low. Do you know whether there’s a tool which calculates an estimate of the missing (grand)parent’s DNA? Eurogenes values or something similar. Something along the lines of deducting the tested parent’s DNA from the child’s and predicting the untested parent’s DNA. I’m not sure if it exists or if it’s even possible. 23andMe does show which ethnicity you got from each parent after phasing, but you cannot just multiply that by two to get the parent’s estimate.

I always enjoy seeing these distance estimates, so thanks for these numbers! Why would you say there’s a difference between K13 and K17, with Croat_Bosnia being on the top in the latter?
From what I understand, all these estimates show the genetic similarity to the listed populations, but not necessarily the origin of my ancestors? Or is it way more distanced ancestors? What I’m trying to say is that I can quite confidently state that at least ¾ of my ancestors can be traced back to at least mid-18th century and were all born within present-day Slovenia, and this would go against it. I certainly wouldn’t expect 100% Slovene; I’m just trying to understand.
Can I, for example, expect to find an ancestor who was born in Galicia or comes from an area where Csángós live, when I go further back, or would it be before there’re any records?

In my opinion, this is simply genetic similarity to populations/balanced modeling, and likely not indicative of actual ancestry, in your case. So while the results might suggest a Galician or Csangos ancestor, only a paper trail can add validity to that. Otherwise, it is just as likely to be fully attributable to genetic similarity or because of a deviation that you have from the average. It is important to remember that the averages are made up of a number of samples, those sample form a normal range for an ethnicity. My guess is that all family members you posted fall within the normal range of results for full Slovene, even if not right on the average. On an additional note you also are using 23andMe data, which is not quite as good for use with GED/Vahaduo and can skew individual components by 2%.

As far as comparing your K13 and K15.. K13 has been more extensively updated with quality samples across the board, so that could explain the difference. K15 is good for someone like me as it seems to handle my East-West split of German and Hungarian very well, and some people say it handles Western Europe better than K13, but in your case I would suggest K13 is the more reliable of the two. Still, your K15 is quite reasonable, imo.

I’m not sure if it exists or if it’s even possible. 23andMe does show which ethnicity you got from each parent after phasing, but you cannot just multiply that by two to get the parent’s estimate.

When you have distance between parental ancestries (let's say Irish and Romanian, or German and Hungarian), you can make a somewhat reliable theoretical result for an untested parent using GED components. The further the distance between the parents, the better. However, when they (the parents) are from the same ethnicity, this method does not work well.

For example, I use a theoretical kit to represent my father (he was never tested), his kit was developed assuming that I plot exactly between my parents. The problem for an individual like you, who's parents are the same ethnicity, is that your family will tend to plot right around each other in an unpredictable way. The further the parents plot from each other, the more reliable the mid point method of creating an untested parent's kit becomes.

Don’t mind the above (re)post. I want to have it linked in my signature, but couldn’t edit the old one. I guess I’ll drop my Eurogenes K36 map here so this thread isn’t bumped for absolutely nothing.
