My new updated Europa is in.

Portuguese is still in first place at (0.34) 75.28
Belgic is second at (0.33) 52.81
Spanish is third at (0.28) 47.08
Celtic is fourth at (0.25) 41.72
Italian (0.29) 32.59
Germanic (0.25) 25.28
Balkan (0.26) 23.18
Norse (0.24) 23.04
Thracian (0.28) 21.07
Greek (0.23) 15.78
Finnic (0.23) 12.95
Basque (0.13) 11.89
Scythian (0.19) 8.90
Polish (0.15) 7.15
Russian (0.12) 4.11
Urals (0.14) 3.47
Ashkenazic (0.03) 1.10
...

Don't know what it might mean but I find it interesting that the geographic pattern of your top matches is generally south-north-south-north, etc. Pattern begins to morph at Thracian.

DNA Tribes Digest for May 30, 2009: Genetic Relationships among South American Indians

The new issue of DNA Tribes Digest is now available. This month's feature article is "Genetic Relationships among South American Indians," where we explore genetic characteristics in the Patagonian, Amazonian, and Andean regions.

Table of Contents for May 30, 2009

Introduction
Genetic Relationships among South American Indians
At the Ends of the Earth: the Patagonian Region
Eden of the Americas: the Amazonian Region
Mountain Backbone of South America: the Andean Region
Conclusion

I have no trouble with using the CODIS markers in population genetics studies as these contain many individuals and then in effect many markers, however to use these markers as means for investigating individual ancestry and especially minor ancestry is really waste of time and money.

Urals (0.14) 3.47
Ashkenazic (0.03) 1.10


My Native American panel still has no matches. Athabaskan (Alaska) is at the top of that list at (0.01) 0.01


My regular report, Part B, has picked up Maghrebi at #20 at (0.34) 45.96!
My top match in Part B is still Syria at (0.6) 183.82
And my World Regions, Part D, has the same twelve as last time plus a new one - East African at (0.01) 1.54! That makes it thirteen altogether.


According to the Europa document, the Urals is where the Mongols and Huns (Hunnic) were from.

Wow, seventeen European sub-regions! Have any Europa testers done this upgrade? What do you think?

I'm waiting for my updated Europa. Probably won't change much. I'll probably still get Portuguese in first place, even though I am not Portuguese. Then maybe Celtic in 2nd. And maybe Belgic in 3rd place.
I wonder what my Scythian and Thracian scores would be.

[J. Fold]

My father's top three Europa are:

Celtic (.89) 11,745.10
Finnic (0.94) 7,733.66
Belgic (0.89) 5,913.30

Most ancestry is Dutch...

DNATribes helps, but the main thing is you need the geneaology to back it up.

For instance, recently found out that the brother of my Great Great Grandmother applied for citizenship in the Cherokee Nation in 1896.

That makes that 759.63 Mestizo score I got look much more likely. I have only seen one other person who had a Mestizo score like mine, and he descends also from the Cherokee.

There isn't any Native American ancestry in the paper trail on my fathers side, but that's where my 17% Native American autosomal dna is from. My mom tested and she has zero (yet her side has the paper trail showing descent from Pocahontas).

I apologize for "eavesdropping" but I am finding this conversation totally fascinating, and you have got me tempted to check into DNA Tribes as well. My family's Y and mt DNA tests don't have any matches yet and I'm wondering if it might give me some additional clues about what areas we might tie into. At this point I'll take any clues I can get!

I'm assuming that this is a test that can also be taken by a female? And, judging by the reports you get, would it help me narrow in on general regions in the British Isles?

It looks VERY cool!

Hi DeeTyler
Yes, a woman can take the test.

Yes, a woman can take it, and no, it is not much help with the British Isles because it has few samples from there. http://www.dnatribes.com/populations.html
