Hi. It's been a very long time since I last posted on here. Today I got my results from 23andme. I will give you a detailed background information about my family below. I would very much like you to help me understand my results.
Y-DNA: L*
mtDNA: T1a
3.1% of my DNA is from Neanderthals
I have 3-4 genetic variants associated with blond hair. I had blonde hair as a child, currently it's dark chestnut brown.
I have green eyes. My genotype is GG.
Paternal side of my family: Turkish-sepaking Alevis from the central Black Sea region of Turkey. According to what I have heard from my father, as to where we descend from, their origin of place is Central Asia, through Khorasan (which is a quite common story among Turkmen Alevis regarding their origins). This pretty much explains how I have L. My theory is that, my paternal line descends from a Southwest Asian, Indo-Iranian group of people, who assimilated into Turkish-speaking populations under the rule of Ghaznavids, instead of the Hunnic/Turkic groups who probably carries L to an extent, such as Argyns and Madjars. Because I have a significant South and Southwest Asian admixture. I also have some East Asian/Siberian residue.
Maternal side of my family: Zaza-speaking grandmother, and Turkish-speaking grandfather (who I think might probably be of Armenian origin, since his village had a major Armenian population) from eastern Turkey. Zazas are considered to be related to Gilakis, who are thought to be originally from Caucasus, and to have migrated to Anatolia from the south of the Caspian Sea. I tend to link my T1a to my significant Northeastern European admixture, through the line of my Zaza-speaking grandmother, who looked fairly European, with light skin, light hair, and blue eyes.

1) Caucasian component
Turks are known to have a major Caucasian admixture. I am not sure if this is because it is what you get when you mix a Turkish-speaking Iranian/South Central Asian with an Armenian/Pontic Greek, or Turks are indeed North Caucasians in origin, who have been Turkified.
2) South/Southwest Asian component
Probably from both my maternal and paternal sides. Paternal side, which is Bactrian L in origin, along with extreme admixing with West Asian Indo-Iranian groups. Maternal side, Zaza-speaking groups, Indo-Iranian populations again. Also a possible Armenian origin from the maternal side.
3) Mediterranean component
I have no idea what this might be. East Med I guess. Does this denote an Anatolian Greek admixture?
4) Northeastern European component
I am thinking that this comes from my maternal side, because of the haplogroup T1a.
That's all. I would like to hear your theories about my origins as well.
Thanks for noticing.
Edit: Sorry for posting the thread in the wrong category. Would be nice if moved to the Eurogenes category. Thanks.
