Would like thoughts on a Sardinian/Italian match

[jtoml3]

Their results have now been uploaded (matches anyway).

My mother and grandfather are also batch 817, so I'm hoping results are back by the end of the week at the earliest....

Out of interest, my sister gets 2.9% Sardinian on DNA.LAND. Again not a definitive answer, just another clue to throw into the box....

[jtoml3]

Would you agree that Tuscan and Greek are simply a fill in for Croatian/Balkan?

Overall there are hints of Italian here and there using different sources. It's hard to prove without a paper trail, but it seems like a coincidence if I don't have any, but I have bits and pieces that might...

It probably varies actually, however the Italian reference samples show the most on the Dodecad K7b using FTDNA data. Tuscan is likely a middle reference point due to how the algorithm computes distance.

Using 4 populations approximation:

Over the last 2 years I've tried to find answers in autosomal results and ancestral locations of other matches.

On the old Countries of Ancestry feature, Italy covered 1.6% of my genome on 4 grandparents @5cM (Croatia was 1.7%).

For most of those matches, their ancestral...

Thanks for your replies, as mentioned I've been waiting 2 years for this guy to reply, and so far he hasn't responded to my questions, so I've had to try and figure out possible scenarios with limited information, which may be the case for awhile.

If most of my ancestry was Western European/British...

Hi all,

I’m hoping to get some thoughts on a Sardinian/Italian DNA match, especially from those with knowledge in Italian and Balkan genetics.

A few days ago, a 23andMe match replied to a message and share request I sent him two years ago. He’s listed as a 4th...

Hi all,

To start off with, I have no known Scandinavian/Finnish ancestry on paper (I get 2% Scandinavian on 23andMe). My Y-haplogroup is DF27 and my mtDNA haplogroup was V-C72T!, however FTDNA have put it back to V. I have 12 known Finnish matches on FTDNA (some have Swedish ancestral...

I've gone and ordered this bad boy.

A MyOrigins update would be nice.

No, he just stated that in order to be accurate many SNPs have to be tested at once. I'm aware Geno 2.0 probably doesn't test to the same depth as what the Big Y does, and therefore the Big Y is probably considered the gold standard.

For what I would like to know, Geno 2.0 is probably...

One of the project admins for R1b suggested I get Geno 2.0 and then I can transfer my results across to FTDNA. I've gone and ordered a kit. I would get a Big Y if they exchange rate wasn't so bad because it would be over $700.

Hopefully that process wont take too long....

[jtoml3]

I've used the MorleyDNA.com Y-SNP Terminal Subclade Predictor which suggests I'm most likely R1b-M412.

Now, looking at this R1b chart (I know its 2013 but I couldn't find a new one), http://cdn.eupedia.com/images/content/R1b-tree.gif

If I'm likely to be L51, and I'm negative...

Hi all,

It's looking like I may need to get a Big Y. I'm most curious about where my paternal ancestors originated from, as I can only go back as far as 3rd great grandfather from Lincolnshire, England. Does the Big Y give you information about subclades and their geographical origins,...
