Ok, now I get what you meant better. :-) Yes, these are complex processes, not so easy to grasp immediately.
I guess you are right to some degree about islander Greeks being underrepresented in big...

Interesting, Carved, thank you, I didn't know. I assumed phenotype and ethnicity genes in some way were connected. Hence, the game we all do of "guessing the ethnicity" or even the area of a country...

Joey37, I just checked my 23andme account again and I noticed a sort of calculation of inherited percentages between me and my parents (even though my mom has not tested, they can infer this from the...

Thank you, Joey37! My father and I have tested at 23andme but my mother not yet. If she tests too, I might be able to recognize similar patterns to the ones you describe.
Are your ethnicity...

My paternal grandfather was exactly 1.83 (and was very tall for his generation in Greece). His haplogroup was J1- PF7263. My father is shorter than him (1.75). I think that the genes of my...

Thank you for the clarification, Laberia.

Hello Laberia,
According to the family history, the Markou family had belonged to the broader Botsari family. I even have a Botsari DNA relative which might be confirming the oral family history....

Unfortunately, they haven't tested yet, but if I ever feel "rich" 😎 I will buy one of them a test as a birthday present. So the FTDNA y12 is enough in this case? I was a bit disappointed in their...

When you say "tribes" do you possibly mean what we call "Fara- pl. Fares" in Greek regarding the Arvanites? Based on my autosomal testing and the K36 report by LM genetics plus our family history and...

Thank you, magicalM, yes indeed...I realize that one inherits almost the same percentage from each parent but my ethnicity estimates are more similar to those of my mother. And then my appearance...

Hello everyone,
I would like to ask something that I am curious about. Firstly, based on various ethnicity estimates (MyHeritage, 23andme, Ancestry, Gedmatch, Geneplaza, Gencove etc.) I appear to be...

Yes, I know this. Thessaly still is the place of origin of many of the Greek Vlachs. So in general I do tend to think that except for the Arvanite contribution, which according to my understanding is...

The most characteristic locations for the Greek Vlachs are the areas on and around the Pindus Mountains, which are shared between Epirus, Thessaly and Macedonia. Of course there were further...

Hello Tomenable,
Accidentally I just posted a question indirectly concerning the Slovenians of the early middle ages in a new thread. I would like to ask you if there is a connection between them...

In Thessaly, as well as in Epirus and Western Macedonia, there have also always been a lot of Vlachs. I would say that at least mainland Greeks are in general a mix of Greeks (Romioi), Vlachs,...

Also, my K13 results, which are a bit different:

Hello Dibran,

I am Greek and I happened to notice that our results have some similarities. I come 50% from Northwestern Greece (area of Ioannina), 25% from Kephalonia and 25% from Kea.
I am...

I know Sile. it's just that their presence in all the Balkans for centuries could have been an influence even in the case of my father who comes from Kephalonia.

Thank you both! Good to know! Yes, neither the Pelasgoi or the Kares would have been Indoeuropean.

Thank you Georgewalley! As I asked before, could J1 be also linked to the Pelasgoi or other pre-hellenic groups (Kares, Leleges etc.)?

yes, that's true

Ok, I'll do so, thank you!

Thanks again! I would like to ask you again if there is any way to discover your sub-haplogroup without testing again at another company? I didn't understand if in the end if there is such a...

Thank you ihype02. I read that J1 is possibly linked also to Etruscans. Would it be far fetched to think that in Greece it can at least for a part represent the Pelasgoi? Probably exaggerated but it...

Thank you, ihype02, it seems I have to get more refined results in order to have a clearer idea. I was only hoping to be able to do that by uploading the raw data at some third party vendor instead...
