What ethnicity am I? Please help

[Petalpusher]

23andme has some specific Jewish references, as long as particular SNPs for Ashkenazi i believe, so you will know if it's that for sure or something else.

Here are 2 photos of my father
Well, would you classify him as Roma by appearance? In my eyes he looks more balto-slavic, idk.

He looks Czech.

Yes, I've ordered a dna test from 23andme and hope that the results will give better answers

Hi lenzhka,

I would be interested in seeing your 23andMe results, if you feel like sharing them. Thanks

(...)

Can you briefly tell about your 23andMe results? Would be interesting to get all the made speculations verified or discarded.

A gypsy contribution would show inevitably by South Asian (a full Gypsy would score some 30% South Asian and some 40% Middle Eastern) and an Ashkenazi contribution would show one-to-one in the component Ashkenazi Jewish.

The thread shows who guessed what.

I would like to share the result from 23andme, but since months no shipping has taken the package from me in Germany and it was even sent back once from NL.
I have alternatively done a test of AncestryDNA

Here are the results:

Eastern Europe & Russia 38%
Germanic Europe 29%
Sweden & Denmark 21%
Baltics 10%
Wales 2%

Apparently it was just a glitch and there are no close Gypsy / Ashkenazi ancestors

So your father was adopted and your mother is Slovak? Then you already know half of it and need to test your father but it looks like he's German.

Except for ADNTRO that is known as bad in interpretations it's not even a glitch but a misinterpretation of how GEDmatch calculators and oracles work. After you shared the GEDmatch# I stated (farther up):

"You look to have results like an Eastern German. That can be true or artificially, i. e. by a mixture that resembles Eastern German."

And your AncestryDNA result resembles mine pretty much:

Spoiler!

If I got it right your paternal ancestry is unknown as your father was adopted. But you seem to know for some of your mother's ancestry. How can that be described/summarized?

As for your G25 coords, are they real coords or simulated?

Kinda. I did some research with my mother and now we're know more exactly about my maternal origin: Magyars, Saxons, Slovaks & distant Scandinavian

We assume that my father is mostly Bohemian German and even little part Magyar (But we're just guessing)

Cool results! Yes, very similar^^

Well that's what I know from my maternal side: Magyars, Saxons, Slovaks and distant Scandinavian.
But paternal I can only guess and I think Bohemian German ancestry would fit him. But it's just a guess.

The G25 is simulated because I'm waiting for illustrativeDNA to accept PayPal. And I don't know where else I can get some.

At David Wesolowski = Davidski = Eurogenes, eurogenesblog@gmail.com
But he also does not accept PayPal, just a payment via Wise. So I had to open a free account there.
