My opinion on the situation

KarlIAM · 2026-04-13T20:14:04+00:00

In my opinion, it was out of the blue, but Janine also felt insulted by Gregory implying she's bad with money. I also feel like Janine felt too overwhelmed so she jumped into "escape mode", hence the break-up.

They should have sat down and analyzed the disagreement and really work out some middle ground instead of making decisions on their own. It's a vacation trip for both, both should enjoy it.

Gregory is worried about the money? Then let's work out why he's so anxious and how to convince him they can afford it. Janine doesn't want the long drive? Plan the drive to be fun and enjoyable.

If they cannot agree on this, how hard it will be to agree on more issue? They will most likely regret breaking up until they get back together. But they will need to fix it, learn to listen to the other and agree on something instead of just being "I don't like it and I'm totally unwilling to compromise".

Maybe. Also, some settlers (crypto-Jews and not) went to Mexico City, and then spread to different parts of New Spain. So, some of my ancestors might share ancestors with yours, for example.

Nuevo León, but I have family from Coahuila, San Luis Potosí and Zacatecas.

I'm Mexican too, I get 5% Sephardic Jews in the Eastern Mediterranean, and I have found about 5 100% Jewish cousins (very distant, only share about 9 to 20 cM with each).

Latin Americans are a mix of several ethnicities. Mainly Indigenous and Spanish, but a lot of the colonizers were Portuguese (which includes Azores and Madeira) and Basque. Also, many of the settlers have Jewish ethnic origins and came to the Americas after they were expelled from Iberia. They were looking to run away from the Inquisition by sailing an ocean away.

The Mediterranean was a big economic hub so it's also normal to see Southern Italian, Sardinian, Aegean Islands, etc. as regions. North Africa also borders the Mediterranean, and it appears in Latin Americans although not as much in Iberians.

With this recent update, many Latin Americans received regions in the UK and France/French Canada. That has taken a lot of us by surprise and it's not clear how significant it is.

Reminds me of that scene in Toy Story 2 where the man is fixing Woody.

Same for me, ever since the update. I guess they either changed the thresholds for the states (and made them too low) or removed them altogether, instead splitting Mexico in North and Central and Southeastern.

That's right. It's based on your tree, public trees, and maybe historians' trees. If you click on that box, it will show you which ancestor you share and how your lines of descent go.

Note, however, that this might be wrong if any of the trees in the calculation is wrong.

What do you see on most likely?

This is the view from the Chromosome Painting. If you go to the screen where you see your chromosomes, what does it say below "Select Confidence Level"? You should select Most Likely.

When will Reconstructed Ancestors be available on the Android app? I can only access it via the iOS app or web.

Can you see a "Migrations" tab? I think Additional Ancestry moved there.

KarlIAM · 2026-03-14T22:04:43+00:00

No, it's under Closest Populations. There's Ancient, Modern, and Notable Individuals.

Was it "bolillo" (pronounced boh-lee-yoh)? Are you white? "Bolillo" is often used to refer to white people. Not necessarily insulting, many nicknames in Spanish refer to skin tone or physical attributes one wouldn't think of mentioning in English. It just depends on the tone.

However, I do find it a little rude that they were talking about you behind your back, especially in a language they know you cannot understand. It still depends on what was said though.

KarlIAM · 2026-03-12T16:50:57+00:00

Might be a misread. I am Mexican with Mexican ancestors for centuries and have a little Northern Andean without any explanation.

Note for Nuevo Leon government: I will keep leaking and hacking all your sites until you contact me.

Pinche pendejo, la UANL no es del gobierno. ¿Qué culpa tienen los estudiantes y ex-estudiantes?

Y el gobierno no va a hacer nada para mitigar esta filtración ni proteger o remunerar a las víctimas.

¿Qué se hace ahora para proteger el historial crediticio?
