shirgall Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 I got 100% European, primarily British and Irish (almost 40%), and the rest was Scandinavian (especially Finnish), with smaller amounts of French and German.
aviet Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 The results from these tests are somewhat experimental and in development. I had one test done several years ago and as the company have updated their method for determining these results, the results changed quite dramatically. They were actually most accurate before their last update. I've also had both my father and his sister tested by different companies and here are the results: These, which I suspect will be similar to the 23AndMe results are meant to be deep ancestry (c. 5,000 years ago). So before any solid knowledge of population movements from historic records. For my maternal results, they changed my results from being Ashkenazi Jewish to Sephardic Jewish, even though all of the relatives I have matched with are from Eastern Europe (Ashkenazi). My quota of Indian (east) ancestry has also fluctuated between 6 and 25% as they change their method. I wouldn't pay too much attention to the specifics unless you have a paper trial to match it to. For that:https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Dominican_Republic_Online_Genealogy_Records Judging by your results I would describe you as blacker than Shaun King, fool.
lorry Posted September 27, 2017 Posted September 27, 2017 Perfidious Albion here. I dunno OP, are you American? I'd say with Major-Minor Amerikarna-African mix.

Jsbrads Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 Who isn't blacker than Shaun King? im guessing you are mostly human from your test results. At least within on standard deviation anyways.
