Hello everybody,
Recently Family Tree DNA has updated their autosomal DNA testing results. As such, I now have a brand new set of results! This upsets me, as I would've liked to have had access to the previous results as well, and now I don't, but no matter. What's more unnerving is the fact that I have had myself, my father, and my mother all tested...and the results seem impossible?
Myself:
European 91% composed of: West and Central Europe 35% | Scandinavia - 18% | British Isles - 16% | Southeast Europe - 14% | Finland - 8%
Jewish Diaspora 7% (Ashkenazi).
Trace: East Middle East <2% | Southeast Asia <1%
Mother:
European 76%: West and Central European 43% | Finland - 15% | British isles 11% | East Europe 4% | SE Europe 3%
Jewish Diaspora 21% (Ashkenazi).
Trace: East Central Africa <1% | Scandinavia <2% | Siberia <2%
Father:
European 97%: British Isles - 92% | Southeast Europe - 5%
Trace: Asia Minor <2% | West Middle East <2%
According to the matches, my mother and father remain definitively, genetically, my parents (which is unsurprising as this is not controversial) but what possibly can account for this discrepancy?
My dad is 92% British, my mom 11%, and...I'm 16%?
My mom doesn't have Scandinavian apparently after all, except for <2% trace, and I...have 18%?
My mom and dad together would have SE at 8%, and I'm at 14%
So, precisely how does any of this work? Is this all guess work/heuristics?
