When are ethnicites going to be re classified?

[Miamio]

I have over 9000 matches( Jewish). After a few years of learning to to calculate and sort,I have not gotten any enthusiastic responses,though a few have replied.. Either they can’t get thru the surname dilemna,or do not care to help in the work.Low and behold,this week I found a second cousin.I...

I get those all the time. Russian matches in Russian. I do have Russian ancestory,however, they are usually not a good match in calculations....

Every site that I uploaded to has me at different Mediterranean percentages. As a Jew,a lot of people are getting these results.If not Iberia or Southern Italy,its West Asia.I even have North Africa and Nigeria.I understand that Jewish history is the Mediterranean.I have stopped trying to figure it...

I believe it also has to do with your own family dynamics.Some are blessed to have caring, involved ,large families.Others not.Both sides of mine don’t want to know each other.I knew my cousins as a child.On one side was an adult cousins club.When they died no one cared. A lot of people are involved...

I am not stupid.I know this.I am, asking about the new technology all these sites are claiming to be coming soon.It doesn’t see, to make sense to upload raw data to others sites at this point.Genesis is suppose to be combining with GedMatch since April.Compare their tools and they are different

I have had very frustrating results.Most do not reply.Those that have are clueless about the work it entails.If no common surname or ancestor they just give up.One amazing distant cousin across the country,who has written books has been wonderful.We do not know a common ancestor but she has given me...

Time for new technology. Frustrated with the generalizations and descriptions that do not pinpoint exactly. Tired of so many contradictory
Results.

Mediterranean conundrum

My Heritage journey has been frustrating.Depending on where I uploaded my DNA,even GedMatch. I am either Morth African Sephardic Jew,or Italian/ Sicilian/ Sardinian and West Asian.Some sites say”Med Islander”.
I am Ashkenazi high percentage and Sephardic.Gedmatch...

I have four thousand Jewish matches. Of those,my grandaughter has most of mine and some Jewish ones I don’t have. Very few of her paternal non Jewish side.

Too many of us are having the same issue it appears. Put me in that group too.I stopped trying to figure it out cause it’s basically correct with a few twists.Genesis is the latest newbie.I have found some twists in that too.

[Miamio]

I agree.Everywhere except My Origins has me as Sephardic. They use North Africa instead.Others might use EastWestMed.I am indeed Sephardic but from Italy,not Sardinia or North Africa. It gets very jumbled up.I wish they would designate a real Sephardic,when they give you anything in the area,since you...

[Miamio]

Every company that I uploaded to and Ged Match /Genesis all have me as
A high percentage Ashkenazi which is correct.East West Med,North Africa Sephardic,Western Asia appears sometimes even higher.As.a Jew,does this indicate an ancient migration? Does it indicate where my ancestors were before...

GPS Origins

Anyone try this? Is it worth the money? Does it give what it claims?

[Miamio]

How will this also affect Origins? Will those who tested in 2017 be updated? My grandaughter has no Ancient Origins. They said they are working on things.......
