It is terrible for Europeans who not North or Central European. I remember using the program for fun, and found myself floating in the South Mediterranean Sea north of Alexandria Egypt. It is not flawed so much as its assumptions are biased, a lot of those programs are even those made by...

When I was at 23andMe I made notes of my Relative List Y chromosome haplogroups and surname. I did that to see how much non paternal events occurred in Maltese people. I found few anomalies which could have been NPE or a freed slave taking their old master's name or a foundling given a surname...

As a Maltese born person, I can tell you that those dna companies, and those dna company ancestry programs, or homemade programs as at GEDmatch, are absolutely hopeless when they come to people of the three Mediterranean peninsulas and the islands. With Northern, Central and West Europeans they...

Ancestry is good for some things and not good for others. It is better for finding relatives, and records if you are willing to pay. It won't give you haplogroups, I know mine anyway from FTDNA and YFull. I was with 23andMe but after being stung by the FDA, 23andMe got very jingoistic, and anti...

Those results are similar to mine, which is expected as I am Maltese born of Maltese born people going back as far as I can find. Those results can be distorted by marriage practices and chance. One man or woman could have given me all my North European, and that has come to me through genealogy...

I don't agree. Atheists do not have a religion, that is nothing that can equate to a faith or religion. Most people have some sort of religious beliefs even the dreaded, and dreadful SJW folk, it is just nominal or wishy-washy, it is still religious. I can only speak for myself, every religious...

FTDNA is well known to be slow, and late with results. I don't consider testing 111 STRs of much value, as few men opt for that, so you cannot compare. The thing with STRs that I found valuable is STRs with unusual values, I have one which is 8 when the usual is 14 - 15, and those men who match...

SZ19's genetic profile has nothing to do with Mytrueancestry, it comes from genetic testing of remains from Langobard cemeteries in Italy and Hungary. Maybe the researchers were wrong, or they did not use a wider array of reference samples instead of the TSI (Tuscan) or the IBS (Spanish) or the...

I get SZ19. It is a "Langobard" from a Langobard cemetery in Hungary. That person is not of Northern European origin but of Central Italian origin. Does anyone get Oetzi? 3300 BC, 91.48 cM.
