The Kingdom of Sicily was a pre-unitary italian state created in 1130 by Roger II and deleted in 1816 by Ferdinand III of Bourbon. It had one of the most ancient parliaments of the world, and most of Hautevilles and Hohenstaufen are buried in the Cathedral of Palermo, while the...

Surely way more europeans than turks. At least Sicilians and Maltese are in the European side of PCA, while turks are in what they are, MENAs.

Do you score some South Asian on Gedmatch analysis?

The Dodecanese one is really Eastern Mediterranean like. I've seen his Eurogenes' results as well.

Carfizzi is Arbereshe

Gela is South Eastern Sicily city not Western. Licata is Southern Central. Camilleri is a Southern Sicilian surname, not Palermitan because inhabitans of Palermo have ancestors from all over the island (and Italy). http://www.cognomix.it/mappe-dei-cognomi-italiani/CAMILLERI/SICILIA The second...

Attard derives from Attardo. But this guy doesn't understand that Sicilians moved and intermarried with people from all over the island during the centuries...so surnames are present everywhere now...

Yes, most of muslims were indeed indigenous converted not transplanted north africans. The same Lucera has very few E-M81.

Carlo II d'Angi? removed the last muslim presence of Lucera. By the way, do you know if there were in Malta other mainland Italian migrations other than Celanesi?

Very few Maltese have tested themselves on Oracle, Ponto is one and he has posted his GEDmatch id (here http://www.eupedia.com/forum/threads/33711-Genetics-of-the-Greek-Peleponessus/page17?p=505781#post505781). This is his personal MDLP K23 (I can remove the post if he don't want to see his...

Oracle should be interpretated with combined population, not just with only one population. Maltese people have not just only surnames from Agrigento but from all over the island, and it was part of the Contea di Modica for lot of time. And part of Maltese surnames are not present in Sicily but...

Most studies about Sicily (or Italy) divided the island between west and east. Sazzini uses samples from Agrigento for west and Catania for the east but they plot almost identical with Agrigento a bit more continental in some individuals, while the study of Fiorito uses Ragusa and Trapani...

Typical trend of Maltese's results. They are Sicilian/Southern Italian with some more North African or Near Eastern link. I guess because according to Ponto the original core of population if the island was resettled by muslims from western Sicily (eastern Sicily was not islamized) who were...

The same southern italians and sicilians have also spanish or french link (or northern italian or albanian and greek link). So there are no pure peoples all over the world.

Ponto, as you have said. Maltese derivered from old muslim population of Sicily that's why they are autosomally Sicilian with a major North African admixture (see Lazaridis paper for example). I also think that most of muslim population of Sicily were native converted with a small number of...

Many users have informed me that it is actually the best DNA tool for both haplogroups and ancestry composition. I wanna buy it.

Many people of modern Messina descendent from people from all over Sicily and Calabria, the mayor Accorinti has a Calabrese surname. And some north eastern Italians also settled there after Caporetto.
