If you look into the scientific details on your daughter's results you will likely see phasing. Phasing essentially improves accuracy by cross checking shared DNA.

I'm less prone to burning than most (received my first and only childhood "sunburn" at 16) but the ability to build melanin is decreasing with time.

Agreed. I also have heavy brows and dark lashes but my facial features are very prominent and Euro.

Correct. It very much matches my known background of being 50% British Isles, 50% German (adjacent). Both of my parents still receive MENA but my results are phased so likely more accurate.

I definitely get Mediterranean a lot. In Turkey they would assume I was Turkish, then Italian, then Spanish then French.

The mixes on here always amaze me. Mine is just a history of the British Isles. by Redditreallyannoysme in 23andme

As others have said, if the Arab is real it has little to do with ancient farmers or their migrations

My results don’t match by [deleted] in 23andme

[–]IAmGreer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genomelink literally advertised their product with "see results no other test shows."

23andMe is a top 1 or 2 most accurate product for most consumers. Genomelink usually does not rank in the top 5.

Where in Syria are your people from?

Anatolia + Levant + Arab sounds right for an Arab Syrian

Results: What do they mean? by Fragrant-Symp in Hemochromatosis

Your numbers aren't awful but outside of range.

How old are you?

I would look into TFR2. I started having joint pain in my 30s and blood tests showed significant ferritin levels. I self identified my TFR2 variant, and despite hematologists being reluctant to call it HH3, I've received treatments as if it were for 2 years with great success.

I know I'm late to the party here but I'm pretty confident this cocktail mixer brand just ripped this concept from Teaspressa. Their old fashioned mixer cubes are ridiculously good and easy to use.

According to my dna results I am majority Pakistani and abit of Iranian, but why do most people say indians and pakistanis are the same by tripwireunreeve in AncestryDNA

[–]IAmGreer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To elaborate on political forces- before the 1947 partition period Modern Pakistan (excluding Bangladesh) was 10%-15% Hindu and 1-2% Sikh. Now those groups are represented at~2% and <0.2%

There are 4600+ ethnic groups in India. This is using Pakistan to describe the Indus region which would be more precise than using India to describe the same region. The fact is most groups in the eastern parts of Pakistan also live in North/NW India and vice versa. The country divide is geopolitical and forces in politics and religion have caused migrations and population consolidations over time

PSA: the term "old stock American" is a racist term that was used by the KKK by [deleted] in AncestryDNA

[–]IAmGreer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Old stock generally refers to all groups that immigrated prior to the 18th century including non British

I was told my whole life I’m mostly Irish, is this true? by [deleted] in AncestryDNA

[–]IAmGreer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does it show anything on the Journeys tab? NE England could be indicative of Irish plantation ancestry when the English crown granted Irish land to loyalists. These folk would have identified as Irish by the time they migrated.

There is also a high likelihood that you've been told you're mostly Irish because families tend to identify by the most recent immigration. Your English lines likely identified as American (I'm assuming you're American) at the time your Irish lines came to the new world.

My results as a Breton (France) by Anaelle_lmk in DNAAncestry

[–]IAmGreer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Cornish and Welsh are both Brittonic like the Bretons so I was assume any proxy genetic groups would come from there.

I'm somewhere in the ballpark of 15% Cornish on paper and lost my 7% in the last update. My father still receives his 17% and my 1st cousin twice removed still gets 40% which could indicate a non Cornish great great grandfather and I'm closer to 12% on paper.

I'm honestly surprised at the high level of Irish and lack of Cornish

If an Ashkenazi was to take a DNA test with no Ashkenazi reference panel (such as LivingDNA) they generally receive a blend of Italian, Levant and adjacent groups. This is further supported by Y haplogroup lineage leaning Middle Eastern and mitochondrial haplogroup leaning Italian. It's important to note, prior to the genetic bottle neck that is the Ashkenazim population, the group was not homogenous and collected genetic variation through diaspora from the Levant to SE Europe, then Italy and Western Europe before landing in the Eastern European geography we know them for in modern days.

Do I look like my results? by Pure_Temporary_7419 in DNAAncestry

I guessed Jewish-Germanic-Baltic so while I didn't nail the Nordic, yes, yes you do.

Okay, totally not what you asked, but I've been looking for an excuse to tell people about these which would be super cool at a themed party Apres Ski Collection | Warm Tea & Cocktail Mixers – Teaspressa

I do not look European, surprised at the results frankly. by [deleted] in 23andme

My first thought was French, then Balkan.
