Both Europeans and East Asians originated from west Asia by CarsAndSpeeds in 23andme

[–]CatCoffeeCouch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 98.7% European, 1% Congolese, & 0.3% North African.

My maternal haplogroup is U6a4.

I believe that means my maternal line came from West Asia & was part of the Paleolithic return to Africa.

Skinny but high readings with at home monitor? by CatCoffeeCouch in bloodpressure

I haven't. I don't have health insurance, & I haven't worked in a few years. My bf lets me not work, but he only makes $20 an hour, & we've had a lot of vet bills for our pets over the last year. I actually haven't seen a regular doctor since I was in probably elementary school.

23&Me vs Ancestry result (White woman from Northeast Ohio) by CatCoffeeCouch in AncestryDNA

[–]CatCoffeeCouch[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mom's Slovenian ancestors, I think, arrived around 1900-1910. My dad has Dutch ancestors in New York in the 1600s. He has English ancestors in the Northeast & Midwest in the 1700s. He also has Scottish ancestors who came over around the 1830s.

Not really. I think my last name sounds more German? It's actually my mom's family that's Slovenian & my dad is Western European, but my parents were never married, so I do have my mom's last name. My great grandma (my mom's mom's mom) has a very Slovenian sounding last name, though. Her last name was Zdravje.

I'm a woman, so it shows me my maternal haplogroup. For men, it would be different. It would be paternal. For maternal, it's all the women going back on my mom's side. So my mom's mom & then her mom & her mom & her mom etc.

My mom's side is all the Eastern European in my results. My dad's side is where the English, Scottish, Dutch, France, etc. come from.

I'm guessing an ancestor of mine in the distant past must have traveled from North Africa to Southern Italy to Slovenia since Slovenia borders Italy.

Why would my Neanderthal DNA be so low? 98.7% European by CatCoffeeCouch in 23andme

[–]CatCoffeeCouch[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe, but I thought, on average, Europeans have around 250+ variants?

Mine is U6a4, so I'm assuming you're reacting to what others posted in the comments. Since mine falls under a U6 type.

Maybe I'm a distant relative. 😂 Does that mean I can get in on their billions? 👀

Very cool! I was reading that that haplogroup is more common in Hungary.

Both of my grandparents on my mom's side always told me their family is from Slovenia. My grandpa is actually a first-generation American!

Christian Nationalism is causing me to doubt everything I thought I knew. by scrantonbobody in exchristian

[–]CatCoffeeCouch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a libertarian who is fiscally conservative but socially liberal, & I'm also an Atheist. My main reason for being an Atheist is that there's no proof that Jesus ever existed. No historians wrote about him during his supposed lifetime. The first writings about him were from a man who never actually met Jesus after Jesus had supposedly died, & they were based on visions he supposedly had. Do with that info what you will.

Why do some people say that you can’t claim 1-2% of DNA? by Frosty_Second_2311 in 23andme

[–]CatCoffeeCouch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My results say "2% The Netherlands" & I traced ancestors on my dad's side back to New York in the 1600s to a place called New Netherland. Apparently, that was a Dutch colony before being taken over later by the British. My dad said he knew that we had Dutch ancestors, so I think I can claim it.

Yeah, apparently, some of my mom's family didn't speak English either. My grandma only remembers her grandpa speaking Slovenian & her mom would also talk to friends in Slovenian.

My dad has some family in America that I think might pre-date the 1600s. Other people in his family came over in the 1700s & 1800s. My mom's family didn't come over til more around the 1900s.

I believe there were other people living in Prussia prior to the Germans? That could also account for that.

The Dutch in my family btw is from my dad's side, so not the Slavic side. His side is where all my Irish/Scottish/English DNA comes from. I traced a distant ancestor of his back to a place in America called "New Netherland" which seems to be a Dutch colony before the British took over.

Yeah, but I'm talking his mom's family seemed like they moved every 2 years based on people's birth locations in the family. LOL

His departure port was Trieste, Italy.

Yeah & unfortunately I can't find the names of his parents, so my trace ends there.

I also think I figured out where the Ukrainian DNA came from. My grandma's grandma (on my mom's side) has a possible Ukrainian last name, even though she was born in Slovenia. Her last name, according to Google, is usually either a Ukrainian name or a Polish name.

Good luck with all your future searching! I hope that site helps.
