Here's my update, it's a vast improvement compared to MyOrigins 2.0: For comparison, MyOrigins 2.0 gave me: West and Central Europe: 55% Southeast Europe: 17% East Europe: 9% Middle-East: 19%

I'm very pleased with the latest update for my Mom, it perfectly fits her ancestry. As for me, I would have expected SOME Belgae matches, but got none! My top populations haven't changed for a while. And yes, we both also got JP Marat (part Spanish - possibly marrano - part SW French). I match...

Italian mammas! I love them. My grandma was very talkative and well, Italian, but my grandfather was a quiet, introvert man. They were both lovely, sweet people. Exiled twice - first their families left Italy for Algeria, then they had to leave Algeria (my grandfather was born there) at the...

His father's father is from Ercolano, his father's mother from Procida (pretty isolated area, people there are all cousins). His mother's parents were both from Torre del Greco. I'll try to contact him and see if he'd be OK to test.

I'm thinking of asking my paternal uncle to take a DNA test, I'm curious to see what his results would be with these calculators (family is from Naples area on both sides going back to the XVIth and prob. further back - I have the records).

Genetic characterization of ancestral French populations using ancient DNA – ANCESTRA I was asking for French samples. Well well!! This is very exciting. The aim of ANCESTRA is to reconstruct the peopling of the territory of present-day France by characterizing the different waves of human...

That's absolutely correct Angela :-) Indeed, I invariably come out as Northern Italian in almost all calculators.

I have 3 of those at a high distance and 1 at a low percentage in "Single": 10.10567741 France_Corsica 10.52153031 Albanian_North 10.59827816 Albanian_Kosovo 10.71509683 NorthAlpineBronzeAgeFrench_AITI_120 11.30387544 NorthAlpineBronzeAgeSpanishGalicia_AITI_72 11.40629318...

It's the Italian curse ;-)

Such a shame. Thanks anyway, @Duarte :-) I'm thinking of asking MTA directly. As an aside, the French senate has just approved the legalization of DNA testing in France. This is going to be debated next week, and then the text will be submitted to the Assembl?e nationale. We're not there yet...

Would it be possible, by any chance, to have more French samples, especially by region? I'm clueless about all of this, so I can't do it myself but if someone is interested (apart from me) that would be great. My results are inaccurate due to the lack of French samples, I think. This is really...

This is her K15 ancient: And her K13 ancient:

These are the K12b results of one of my matches. Mother was from Capri, and father was allegedly from Sicily:

Results of a French-Italian hybrid:

For comparison, here's what an unmixed French (my Mom) gets on Eurogenes K13:
