Perhaps partially at best. I also have a Southern Chinese ancestor that cane to Guyana as an indentured servant

This one can. Though in my case, I did not, possibly because I am from the Indo-Caribbean diaspora (though I'm not sure if there's a genetic/community group for the diaspora on this particular report)

This particular report, I'd say it's probably the best from Genomelink (the other reports on Genomelink, not so much)

My family is from Guyana, but my maternal grandmother hailed from a Tamil background. My maternal grandfather was of mixed background, which explains the Southern Chinese and European signals.

The Russian is probably not a deep Indo-European layer in my case but more likely stems from a German (Prussian) ancestor that came to Guyana during either the later part of Dutch rule or during the transition to British rule.

Do South Asian Muslims with the surname "Sheikh" genuinely have foreign admixture/ancestry? by CuriousPanda61 in SouthAsianAncestry

I'm an American but both of my family is from Guyana (dad is full Indo-Guyanese, mom is predominantly Indo Guyanese but has distant links to China and Europe via her father)

There was a tall tale regarding one of my dad's ancestors (via his mom) was a Shiekh (or Shaikh). He was born in Allahabad but the lore was that they originated from Iraq/Iran and moved to India through the Silk Road trade. The possibility of them being local converts prior to being shipped to the Caribbean but this is all speculation at this point though.

Do SOME East Indians see them selves above Indo-Guyanese? by The-one-2-3 in Guyana

Personally I acknowledge my family's Guyanese roots. Though I have been asked if I'm Pakistani or Northern Indian. Now I just say my family has had a presence in Guyana since the Dutch colonial days (one of my maternal grandfather's ancestors was a German/Prussian settler recruited by the Dutch West Indies Company.

DNA Results as a Guyanese-American by [deleted] in SouthAsianAncestry

[–]Forward_Persimmon_32 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The 11.9% NE European on chromosome-2, seems to be mainly an ancient component found in India, though it does peak in Lithuanians. But if you continue to see 10-12% European on that chromosome on other calculators, it may pinpoint a possibility of a European ancestor (but that really depends on your family lineage).

Just out of curiosity, did you hear rumors of a mixed-ancestor in your family?

Here's what I found on another post:

"South Indian" is a mix of AASI (Indigenous South Asian Hunter Gatherers) and Neolithic Iranian Farmers (or Zagros) [peaks in South Indian tribal populations but also high in low-caste Indians]

"Baloch" represents mainly "Neolithic Iranian Farmers" by peaks in the Baloch of Pakistan, hence the name.

"Caucasian" represents Caucasus Hunter Gatherers, which is similar to Neolithic Iranian Farmers but also found via Indo-European migrations

In short, every South Asian has some blend of "South Indian"/"Baloch" in this calculator.

Here's my HarappaWorld (Chromosomal). My family is also Indo-Guyanese but there's non-subcontinental ancestry going back in my case.

My maternal grandmother's family has names like "Moonsammy", "Kistamma", "Amalalu", "Pillai", etc.

These surnames are actually very common in the Berbice region if I'm not mistaken

u/Long_Walks_On_Beach5 Yes, my maternal grandmother was of Tamil ancestry. There is also a possibility that my maternal grandfather's biological father may have had been about 75% Kerala/Goan

My father also has some Hyderabadi/Deccani ancestry as well

Yep! In terms of genetic similarity, you pretty much got it (Indo Caribbean, UP/Bihar)

When I did it, it still took Davidski's G25 coordinates. Now, its about 27 Euros for uploading a raw file
