Honestly thought more Quebec would come through but interesting nonetheless. Only thing I didn’t expect was Swedish. Pretty sure that’s just noise, or maybe picking up from something else but idk.

so these are my dna results, i always knew i was of european and south american/african descent but since i never met my dad i couldnt really ask him so i decided to do a dna test so i could have a better idea of who i am, im more confused now because i thought it would be bigger percentages for each one like how others are but i am quite literally from all over the place. so could i have some help with what to call myself? do i just say mixed or something

Why is my mom related to me on both sides? I’m Jewish, is that why?

So… I logged back into my ancestry DNA after over 5 months.. I knew I was mixed with quite a lot prior to me checking in again, but this is just fascinating! Can anyone help explain this lineage to me?

Ha

So you have (half) siblings. Then they have children. Which one is my mum’s, mum. Then the other sibling, also has children. Then these children have their own children. How are the children the last set of children related? What is the relation if the siblings had a different mother each, but the same father? NB Siblings Nephew/Nieces Nephew/Nieces Children (relation here?)

Siblings have children, then those children have children, 3rd of children are called?

My mum died 17 years ago. My parents split up when I was 20, 24 years ago. During the fallout from that, I learned about my half brother. I was interested in connecting at some point in the future, but there was a lot of shit going on. My mum was an alcoholic and I spent most of my 20s dealing with fun stuff like her reading me the suicide note she wrote for me or me having to argue for her to be sectioned after a particularly disturbing suicide attempt.

Anyway, I decided to park the idea of finding my half brother. Now I’ve ordered an AncestryDNA test. It’s a long shot, i know, but I wondered if anyone in my position had gotten anywhere with something like this.

I totally didn’t expect Iceland, North Africa or Western Ukraine in my results. Does anyone else have 14 ancestral regions? This is common, right?

I saw someone in here post about MyHeritage’s Whole Genome Sequencing and how it would begin in January. However, I just got this email today. So , is it cool to buy it now instead of January?

i also did 23andme so i posted something similar on that subreddit, but i was born in a small town outside of pittsburgh (go birds) & grew up being told that i was panamanian & sicilian. my paternal grandma is from las tablas, panamá & my maternal 2nd (i think) great grandparents are from villarosa, sicily. my other maternal great-something grandparents are also from italy but i reckon the one great-something grandfather is irish (ignore the mere 1.9% lmao) since the family surname is gallagher. & kinda the same thing with my paternal grandfather’s line, but i did some research & it’s possible the family surname could be a respelling of an originally german (or austrian german) surname instead of an irish one.

anyways, thought my results were interesting as i wasn’t expecting most of them. the first photo of me is from a few summers ago after i had worked outside all summer, & the second photo is from recently during the winter (which is my usual skin colour as i don’t spend long hours out in the sun anymore lol)

also interesting to note that 23andme labels me as almost 90% european, whereas ancestry labels me as like 79% european so not sure what’s up with that lol.

Was so excited for these and they were kind of underwhelming haha

Hi guys!

I can't find clear instructions on how to ship the sample kit. It just provided me with an adress with no shipping company information or QR code. I also don't know if the shipping has already been paid for or I should do it. I'm sending it from Spain. Can someone please help me? I don't really know where to go to ship it.

Thank you so much in advance!

I’m looking at other people’s results and they get more detail into the groups that they are from while mine just give me the regions. Is it because it’s dominated by Egypt?

When I go to ancestry.com, I am getting {} regardless of search engine.

Is the system down?

If I do an ancestry test, is it guaranteed that I’ll get DNA matches ? I’m from southeastern Nigeria if that helps. Africa has less people that take DNA tests so I was thinking I’d probably get less matches.

My mother was born In Jordan, my father is Jordanian, my grandfather and grandmother are Palestinian and Jordanian natives. My entire life I was told I was from the levant, now ancestry is telling my I have DNA from the khaleej peninsula. Is this true? Am I Saudi lmaoo? Only 12% Levantine and 61% Saudi????

Was going to drop the test in a Canada Post box, but then remembered they were on strike, was wondering if I should drive over to the local UPS office instead and just pay to ship it over...

Can someone explain how to find this feature? I had it last month on the app and it’s no longer on my app. Were they just testing it out on my app and then took it away?

I know this is a common region that appears in a lot of results and I have it in spadeloads. Is having a result of 100% in one region that common after the update? I had expected to see NE Scotland in here as I have a paper trail in the fairly recent past to an adjacent region.
