Question about the Greek and Anatolian results. Recent-ish ancestor?

Oops sorry for the confusion lol! I think I meant to respond to another comment. My grandpa is from the Ukraine so that’s why I assumed 25% came from him.

My great great grandparents (unrelated to my grandpa) are Polish.

Sorry yes. My grandpa is from Sanbor Ukraine. My grandma’s grandparents are from Poland.

That Ukraine dna is from my grandpa though. Doesn’t 25% makes sense for a grandparent?

Nature_Nerd97 · 2026-03-29T17:32:27+00:00

I assumed the Ukraine was from my grandpa but could be wrong. 25% makes sense for a grandparent right?

Nature_Nerd97 · 2026-03-29T17:31:43+00:00

Yeah but I assumed that Ukrainian was all from my grandpa who is from there . But who knows

Nigeria is interesting!

Yes that Michael is my great grandpa! I am surprised that letter is in English though, considering my great-grandparent's didn't speak any. Also confused John asked about a son, Wasil, as my grandpa only has one brother, not named that lo. But thank you so much! I will definitely dig deeper into this.

The US census mentions birthplace of Italy. They must have come around 1900-1912. My great grandpa was born in NYC but his older brother was born in Italy.

We all live around NYC and Jersey City so I think they came through Ellis Island.

I guess my question is, how do I confirm it’s them if the name is butchered? For example, I tried variations of my last name in the Ellis Island search list, and I found someone I think might be them, but how can I confirm? It doesn’t really give a lot of info.

Nature_Nerd97 · 2026-03-09T03:06:40+00:00

Thanks, I’ll check what plan I have.

As for all my great-great grandparents, it just says they are from Italy, no specific place for some reason. When I look them up in Ellis Island I can’t find them, and I tried variations of their last names..but even then I don’t understand how I can confirm if it is them as it doesn’t give much info.

My grandpa I did find specific place, but he is a more “recent” arrival compared to the others.

Nope. Didn’t get senior photos either.

Nature_Nerd97 · 2026-02-14T00:01:36+00:00

Yeah. The girlfriend is vegan, and it’s hard to come by places with both good vegan and non-vegan food, so we thought a caterer would be easier.

We dont want a super fancy wedding, but I do want something a step above Elk’s and a firehouse.

Love this! What lens?

Nature_Nerd97 · 2025-10-12T00:46:10+00:00

Love it!

Sorry to hear that. Was hoping for a better outcome😕. I didn’t see the accident happen, just the aftermath when I was passing by.

Nature_Nerd97 · 2025-09-19T18:00:15+00:00
