AncestryDNA Ancestry DNA Update

[Ralphie Boy]

Just received or noticed an interesting update from Ancestry, that both parents (parent 1 and parent 2) have their closest matches to people in the West Anatolia and Aegean Islands community.

After this last update, Friesland (Bright spot in the north of Netherlands) became visible for the first time.

Salento: Thanks for posting that. I was not aware Ancestry did an update. Moved pretty much all my Greek/Albanian into Sicily and Southwest Italy. Still get a Greek/Signal but picked up an Iberian 2% signal.

@PT … got just 1% Greece/Albanian, I guess I’m not Griko, a part of Salento is Grecía Salentina, got 2% Balkans - maybe Messapic , and 1% Ireland, I guess VK/Norman traces.

@Salento

[torzio]

Maybe Daunians, Peucetians, and Messapians are from the same place, after all, they spoke the same Paleo-Balkan language.

20pc Southern Italy (all paternal)

This looks pretty solid for you.

I got 25% Southern Italian and 4% Spain. Now that’s a surprise considering my great grandparents are 3 greek and one thats pennsylvanian dutch and jewish. I’m thinking the southern Italian probably overlapping with Greek?

I lost Irish and Scottish was lowered. But I'll give them a pass because of all the intermingling that has occurred in Britain and Ireland. I still would like for Ancestry to separate England from northwestern Europe and to create a new northern French category. For the most part it seems to be doing a better job at correctly assigning southern Italian for actual southern Italians instead of assigning a bit of extra Greek.

There should be clear French regions like north and south but genetic testing is discouraged in France for political and social reasons.

I’ve heard about that. I don’t know how we have modern northern, central, and southern French g25 coordinates. Must have been grabbed from health studies as a loophole. 23&me sort of has a distinct French category as well as MyHeritage.

Can anybody explain this Southern Italian vibe, all paternal?
My ancestors since the late 17th century seem to be mainly from north-west Tuscany.

I also get this from 23andMe: My regions are: Tuscany followed, in order, by Emilia-Romagna, Sicily, Campania, Abruzzo and Veneto.
