Europa results.

Glad to hear they came in. So how do you feel about your test results? Are you pleased or not?

I expected North Atlantic to be my top result because I am 3/4 British & Dutch.
But since DNA Tribes consistently puts Portugal as my top match in every report I am not surprised it is the top match here.

I don't qualify for the AncestryByDna Euro report (because they say I am 17% Native American), so I am happy that I could have the Europa from DNA Tribes.

I put my new updated tribes matches in the tribes thread

Congrads!!

thanks.

DNA Tribes sent me updates on all my past reports, including the Native American panel (that one has no matches above 1.0).

The more I read your results...

Eventhough our Photos look nothing alike.
I believe that we have somewhat of the same backgrounds.
For one..I was always told ,to be Dutch,Irish,French background.
My Dna Tribes turned out top matches Polish Russian etc. also
High Portuguese matches on Penta D&E.
I also got Mestizo matches and Asian Minor fairly high.

ABDNA was 12%NA 88%INDO-EURO

I think we do look similar in our photos.
My hair is naturally wavy, just like your hair in your photos. I was using Pantene 'smooth & sleek' shampoo and conditioner for some time around the time that photo of me was taken, that is why my hair looks so straight. But it gave me dandruff so I stopped using it and started using Neutrogena Clarifying shampoo. I don't use that anymore either. Right now it's just Suave. Will change again.

My ABDNA was 17% Native American, 83% European.
But, I still have no DNA Tribes matches to the Americas (except diaspora matches), and no Mestizo either.

Well, I don't know much about shampoos, but consistently high Portuguese profile match results in a lady with a H (subclade pending) mtDNA and known Dutch ancestry--well, that is suggestive of Sephardic ancestry. Add in your significant North African and Asia Minor region matches and the likelihood increases.

My highest North African matches are Christian Egyptian (0.84) 2.96, and Syria (0.79) 16.14, and Southern Tunisia, and Morocco.

I do have family history, from my Norman side, of a Muslim woman from the Holy Land who converted to Christianity when she married her English/Norman husband, but that was way back during the Crusades. I assumed she was Palestinian, but she may be my top 20 Syrian match that comes up in every dnatribes report.
Many men took Syrian wives back then, and some stayed there in Outremer.

If you think I'm Sephardic, I'll tell you there are no matches there. Sephardi Jewish (Turkey) is 0.05. Misrahi Jewish is (0) 0.00. I don't match Israel. The Ashkenazi is also zero. Not Jewish at all.

My World Region matches shift around with each report. I'm sure it'll be different next time.

The only thing that is consistent is the top match is Portugal in the native populations.

The Asia Minor is from the Syria, Turkey, Macedonian, and Greek I do match to.

Last two times I matched Mozambique & Pakistan. Those 2 are out now, and I now match Southern Tunisia & Morocco.
But, I'm happy the matches are getting warmer/closer to the British Isles.

WOW! Those are high numbers.
Why do you have matches up in the hundreds?
Why is my highest match only 20.54?

I noticed that sometimes the TribeScores would put the matches in a different order than the MLI.

I have Portuguese (0.63) 20.54
Spanish (0.39) 8.77

But if I put it in order of 'TribeScore', instead of MLI, my highest match, after Portuguese is Finno-Ugrian (0.45) 8.22

Why does yours have a range of "(25-50)"?
Mine has exact amount, such as Germanic (0.3). I assume that is 0.30.

No idea ...

Rainbow:
When you go to DNA Tribes website in News and Updates they have a posting for August 7. It has a Updated World Region Score Ranges by Percentile for major U.S. Ethnic Groups. These include Causcasian, African American and Hispanic. It deals with your overall World Region Scores and it also deals with your overall Europa scores. I will deal with the Europa scores: It will have 2 scores on the results report you get. It will have Poland 240, then the TribesScore (.09). Then you can compare your scores and see where they fall. Example: Poland 240, (.09) with 75-95%. Don't now how they get the 240 score. Now the .09 score means I have a score higher than .09% of Polish people. Then they say that that score of 240 and (.09) falls within the 75-95% range which is common, ordinary for people of caucasian ancestry. Hope this helps.

Your score...

Rainbow.

When I compare your Europa Portuguese score of 20.54 to the scores for Caucasians you fall into the 50-75% range. The range is between 10.00 and 36.68 (.63) Its just on the lower end of ordinary. Plus you still have a score that is 63% higher than most Portuguese people from their own country.
