MyOrigins 2.0

[Dibran]

So I transferred my 23andme profile over to FtDna and unlocked it for my origins. Here are my results.

Ethnically I am Albanian from the northern Albania area. My moms oral history suggests we come from Arta/Epirus.

I transferred my ancestry.com dna data to ftdna almost a week ago and so far I only got the ancient origins result after about 24 hours and not the myorigins yet... wtf
I wanna email them and ask what's taking so long it says it should be ready 24-72 hours. I can't find their email address they only have a phone# to call. I don't wanna call.

Yea I definitely would contact them. I got mine in 48 hours. I transferred it over Wednesday night.

So they finally gave me myOrigins results

Quite a lot of Jew in these results, more than Southeast Europe which is very odd.

don't pay attention to it
i know cases of turkish alwaite , bulgarian turk, armenian, and a lebanese christian who score 14-18% sefhardic .
it is not real in your case and also in there cases just shared east-med allells with the sefhardi refrence .
i score 36% sefhardi and 26% aschenazi i am king david lol ........
my grandfather was indid sefhardic he spoke ladini
and i have matches with mexicans and latin americans both in gedmatch and ftdna family finder so in my case it is real
but i don't think it is 36% like ftdna gave me more like 27% .....
i am still waiting for them to publish there white paper than you can see which populations they used for the eastern european cluster....

 

[kingjohn]

my resultsthe 22% european { 11% south east european + 11% east european} from my bulgarian grandmother also i got mtdna h3 from her
36% sefhardic
26% aschenazi
14% asia minor
11% eastern europe
11% south east europe

Hi Adam,Thanks for contacting Family Tree DNA. I am glad to hear that you appreciate the changes made. We conduct extensive genetic and anthropological studies on groups of people to identify SNPs that are specific to certain ethnic groups or geographically and genetically unique groups of people. These SNPs that are studied and identified, for instance, to be Sephartic are then compared against everyone in our database to locate the amount of SNPs that are similar to that group of people that we identified to be genetically unique. That's how the percentages arise. I hope this answer finds you well.Thanks,​

 

[brg12007]

from this incredibly slow scrolling marquee i take this to mean that my 17% sephardic score which aggravates kingjohn so much is to be taken as sound and true.

 

[Apsurdistan]

Lmao

I think he posted the really slow scrolling text hoping that no one actually reads it.

 

[BackToTheForests]

Dibran, are you Albanian diaspora or has your family been in the U.S. long? I am only asking because you seem to have a firm grasp on your ethnic group. In your opinion would a test like this be worth it to your average U.S. Euro-mutt?

i hope now it will be ok
