Yea the father would have had to have northwestern euro as well, but still I don't think the vast majority of northern Europeans will show up with 30 % med and not know about that in their background already.

Yeah I have seen quite a few English people do these tests, and usually the Southern European tends to be on average about 5% maybe slightly more in some, less in some. But 20-30% is a significant step up from that. Her parents have not tested although her dad is going to do it. I presume this may well be the only way to see if there is some funny business. I would also like to see her dad's y-dna haplogroup as his dad is half Dutch (her grandad). He was a resistance fighter in Netherlands during WW2, his brother was captured by Nazi's and sent to a camp, but he made it out alive at the end.

This is her K15 Eurogenes I have tried to post them here by copying and pastying straight from Gedmatch but apparently a moderator has to allow the post first or something. I have copied and pasted them to a word document and copied them as text:

what were the approximate wait times for everyones processing? I uploaded my raw data yesterday, I'm excited to see how it differs from my Ancestry results (like 55% italy/greece + 35 east europe) with more categories for Southern Europe! Also very curious to see what I get for Balkan

I'm curious to see what you get for balkan too. It took me two days to get the results. Once it allows you to see your matches it's not long till the ethnicity estimate is ready.

Looks pretty standard for a north west native. I guess the only way to see it to have her parents tested. Let me know how that turns it if they get tested :)
 
I uploaded mine. It's not complicated and it's quick, the way I like it.

Curious to see what my balkan percentage will be. So far most tests have shown I don't have much balkan/southeast europe, and considering some west Slavs in here got high balkan % I'm expecting this one should show I have a lot.

Looking at these results, she's probably northwest all the way. If there's any southern euro heritage, its likely Iberian. If she discovers that she has one Portuguese/ Spanish great grandparent, I wouldn't be surprised.

Yea I'm curious how your results will turn out. From your other results you seem to score pretty high north eastern euro rates compared to some other southern slavs.
 
Just got my dad's results. He wins with the balkan score so far :). I think mlukas is right balkan component seems to equal central eastern euro component

I decided to give it a shot. I uploaded both my AncestryDNA and 23andMe data so it should be revealing to see how much they differ here.
 
embrace your inner balkan-ness...
I live by your rules every single day
But some things are written in my DNA ​lol

omg the crocheted doily on the drum kit is killing me, too real. my kit has been "ready" for a couple hours, patiently waiting to see my results! no new dna matches but i wasnt really expecting to have any/many as I only have 3 matches on ftdna and none on dna.land.

Me too... especially Serbian chicks.
But the thing that impresses them most is money. And they like manly dudes.

Every balkan household has to have those decorating something, usually tables. Sometimes even on TVs if you're at grandmas house.

Manly ain't a problem. [emoji41] I'm working on the money though [emoji41] and indeed Serbian chicks are nice here in Vienna
 
Europe 100%

North and West Europe 84.6%
North and West European 82.2%
English 2.4%

South Europe 14.3%
Iberian 12.7%
Italian 1.6%

Ashkenazi Jewish 1.1%

Seems about right for someone who is half Belgian and half French Canadian. Pretty close to my Ftdna 2.0 results that had me at 90% West and Central Europe and 10% Southeast Europe. Difference is southwest Mediterranean versus southeast Mediterranean.

Wow! There are massive inconsistencies!

I find Ancestry.com to be far more accurate based on paper trails. MyHeritage massively inflates Iberian, Green, or Italian. MyHeritage has huge fluctuation of Scandinavian.

My Father's Great Grandmother was Norwegian. Ancestry shows him at 9% and my brother and I at 10% (normal British folks range 1%-9% on Ancestry). MyHeritage gives me a whopping 32.1% Scandi yet my mother shows 0 and my father shows 0. (Yes, MyHeritage can tell by the DNA match that my parents are my bio parents). That is interesting though because I'm very tall in a family of normal sized people and everyone always wonders how the heck that happened.

The breakdowns of English/Scottish/Welsh/Irish and W or NW Euro are also inconsistent and all over the place. Grouping Irish, Scottish, and Welsh together is folly. Scottish and English are closer genetically than north and south Wales. I think MyHeritage is grouping the highlander (more celtic) Scots in with the Irish and Celtic Welsh and Cornish. They must be counting lowland Scots as English. Even so, you can see the wild variations within one family.

I also think Ancestry's old test (my father's) incorrectly attributed some Anglo-Saxon as West European. I'm very close to my father on Eurogenes and other GEDmatch calculators but Ancestry has us scored very differently. I believe the new version of the test is more accurate for discerning the difference.

Interesting but I'm not convinced of their estimate accuracy. I also base this opinion on the many GEDmatch calculators.
 
Irish, Scottish, and Welsh

The western region of the British Isles is populated by peoples descended from the six Celtic nations, three of which had settled in what became Ireland, Scotland, and Wales (the other three were in Brittany, Cornwall, and the Isle of Man). Each of these three nations has spoken some variant of its original Celtic dialect continuously. The Irish, the first people to settle in Ireland about 9,000 years ago, share heritage, culture, and language (Gaelic). They were organized by clan, or kin groups. The Scottish are similarly famous for the clans, but from the time of the Middle Ages have been a composite nation of Picts, Gaels, and Britons. So that the northern population speaks a version of Gaelic, while those in the south speak what came to be called Scots. Their neighbors the Welsh are called such dating back to the Germanic labeling of them as “walhaz,” meaning “foreigner” or “stranger” - the language of Wales is similarly called Welsh. The area was overrun by Anglo-Norman conquerors in the Middle Ages, and English colonization in the 16th-17th centuries changed the ethnic composition of the British Isles altogether, introducing ethnic English. Despite the unification of these countries as part of the United Kingdom (except Northern Ireland) in the present day, the people in each locale take great pride in their independent ethnicities, and accompanying cultures - from the family divisions as clans to the respective alcoholic beverages (Wales has a more English cuisine). The ingathering of several ethnicities in such a small space has facilitated interesting genealogical discoveries as well as mysterious connections to unravel - and for all the different heritages, nearly everyone there now speaks English.

If I had read more rather than rushing then I would have noticed the descriptions. I was right, they are breaking it out into Celtic tribes and lumping them all together, despite big genetic differences of the Celtic peoples of the British Isles.
 
Britain - specifically the eastern region of the British Isles - has been populated continuously for at least the past 15,000 years, with recent ethnic stock (from before the 11th century) including pre-Celts, Celts, Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Norse, and Normans. More recently - that is, since the Middle Ages - other ethnicities migrated to Britain, whether by invitation (European Jews in 1070, by William the Conqueror, though they were expelled about 200 years later), by virtue of the African slave trade (dating back to the 1730s CE), or trade (including the oldest Chinese community in Europe, dating back to the 19th century). After World War II, that diverse immigration increased by leaps and bounds, so that the melting pot of English ethnicity has seen increased diversity from the Caribbean, South Asia, and Africa. That said, the dominant “original” British ethnic group is dominated by the English, of course, and includes the Celtic heirs, as some of Welsh, Scottish, and Irish descent respectively have settled in modern-day England.

It is my opinion that these "pre Celts" are what are jacking up the Iberian component in all the MyHeritage estimates. We have zero Spanish or Portuguese people in our tree, and not even any surnames that sound remotely so which may have been elsewhere first.
