A substantial prehistoric European ancestry amongst Ashkenazi maternal lineages

[girlperson1]

What about all the DNA posted at the National Institute of Health? There are thousands of full DNA scans on file that belong to europeans and other people from around the world. Are you telling me that the EU is now going to interfere with science albeit most of the samples have no personal identifiers...

What I'm asking is if a european can allow their data, such as DNA, to be posted on a site, such as mitosearch by signing a release. ...

[girlperson1]

If you are a european, can you opt out of these so-called privacy laws? If yes, is it easy and if so, how is it done?...

[girlperson1]

EU GDPR

Draconian nazi crap.

The origins of Ashkenazi Jews remain highly controversial. Like Judaism, mitochondrial DNA is passed along the maternal line. Its variation in the Ashkenazim is highly distinctive, with four major and numerous...

Quite a difference anyway.

99.4% European

Northern European
18.8% French & German
2.9% British & Irish
38.2% Nonspecific Northern European
1.1% Eastern European

Southern European
0.9% Nonspecific Southern European...

It appears that 23andme has now changed things around a bit:

My new Ancestry Composition is:

99.4% European
59.9% Northern European
1.1% Eastern European
0.9% Southern European
37.5% Nonspecific European
0.6% Unassigned

Thank you!!, I Emailed them and they just responded a little while ago. They were apparently unaware of a problem but will fix it as soon as they can. Thank you!!!...

Actually, I tested with 23andme for health/medical reasons ..... curiosity. But after I saw the population information I became curious and when I transferred my 23andme results to FTDNA, my curiosity grew into a mild psychosis I'm okay now

No offspring....

Yes, I have come to realize this.

I've tried to create a registration for Gedmatch but it doesn't seem to connect. Anyone know why?...

[girlperson1]

So basically, this whole notion of autosomal DNA is very much in its infancy stages. So like 23andme, I shouldn't take Population Finder too seriously, at least for now. (Mutters to herself, "hopefully, it was money well-spent")....

This is probably more of a question aimed at FTDNA: Why use "Orcadian" as a population reference to cover almost all of Western Europe when the Orkney Islands historically had very small populations of people. I would think if you use "Orcadian" to describe a population, that you...

[QUOTE=josh w.;372673]Yes, Orcadian could mean the Orkneys. But most people high on that component are not from the Orkneys, e.g. British, main island Scotch, Welsh, Irish and Norwegian.[/QUOTE

FTDNA should try to be a bit more specific.

What's interesting about the Orkney...
