Turkish Dna

[yiskahnasi]

Hello everyone!
I transferred my dna here via ancestry.com and have been a little confused by my results here. It says I'm 3% (the map circles) Boznia Herzegovina, Serbia, Bulgaria, Greece & Italy. However, every other test I've taken and gedmatch research included has reflected Turkish roots...

My father's family claims Sephardic origins while my grandmother's paternal line has an Iberian name, but arrived in Cuba from France. I am trying to figure out what the results mean. Assistance welcome. I am looking at the 4 population. I am VERY new at this.

So, my maternal grandmother and I have both tested. We just got out MTDNA HVR1 results back. We are both haplogroup H.

I knew that I had Sephardic Jewish ancestry on my mother's father's side based on the paper trail, but I was really surprised to see a a LOT of Ashkenazic, Sephardic,...

My YDNA Ancestral Origins (Y-67test) has more than 125 matches in all the different levels. There are a couple of 2% matches but almost all of them are less than 1%. I'm surprised that there is not more clustering in one or two areas. I'm an Askenazic Jew so I expect a lot of diversity but this seems...

I like forming hypotheses. I have a huge family tree for Ashkenazi Jewish families in Central Europe and Eastern Europe (Suwalki Gubernia, Trakai District of Vilnius Gubernia and in between). I am finding that my matches have last names and locations near where my father's mother's ancestors come...

I just received my full sequence for mtDNA hap I and don't really understand. In my ancestral origins on my home page I match quite a few people. I have an exact match in HVR1 and HVR2, the same person. What is the difference between the two, meaning the matches and exact matches? I also belong...

Hi,

My Paternal side comes from mainly Germany but my results (12 marker) are showing a strong connection to eastern europe. In alot of the comment sections of the results there's "Ashkenazi" and if im not mistaken thats Jewish. I just want to know, considering my results that...
