This might explain why my mom got Poland, Romania and Romania as her top 3 matches on her last update....

Don't some of the Native American mtDNA haplogroups come from East Asian haplogroups? I think C comes from M which is East Asian.

I remember that there was a group of people who were originally classified as M* which is East Asian. But later they were classified as C, which is Native...

When I took the test the first time I got 5 percent East Asian and over 50 percent Native American. When I took the test again about a year later the East Asian was gone and the Native American was higher, 61 percent. So in my case the East Asian and Native American appear to be the same thing....

The last time I checked, ABDNA assumes that ancestry is split in half with each generation. So, if your mom got 11 percent, then her parent had double that and their parent had double that, and their parent had double that, etc.

So it's possible that her great grandparent was full blooded...

Nagelfar,

Do you have Irish ancestry? I've been told that Australia has a large Irish population....

So, you have English ancestry and your top match was England. That's amazing. Some people obviously do have accurate results on the test....

Isn't it true that the X test reveals the father's maternal line? In a situation like burto's mom and my mom who don't know anything about their fathers, could we get a clue about their father's ancestry that way? I know that my mom shares some X markers in common with someone else whose ancestor is...

A lot of people express disappointment toward the DNA Tribes test because they don't get any Native American matches when they know they have NA ancestry. You might get Mestizo, though, but not everyone does....

rainbow, I got 60 percent Native American on AncestryByDNA and I don't get any Native American matches on DNATribes. Obviously even that much isn't enough. I did get Mestizo as the top score in the World Region but no matches to any specific tribes, not even the ones my parents are from.

Is it possible for a haplogroup to change with this test? Like, can you go from B to something else?...

[haplogroupc]

Is mtFGS the full sequence test or is it HVR1 and HVR2? I can't seem to find what the differences are....

This is the first time I'm hearing about FGS and GenBank. I found GenBank through a search but I'm not sure where to post results for haplogroup B. Where can I find these?...

I think the Native match can go back 500 years. Have you considered that your Jewish ancestor might have been Sephardic, from Spain? Since DNA is random, maybe that's why it showed up on your brother's test. It's just a thought....

Mine makes sense, too. I got Mestizo as a top score in the World match and that's exactly what I am....

What were your brother's top scores for the World Match? Did you take the test yourself? What were your matches?
