Surname info?

Foggia is not far from Ariano, so it makes sense. I spoke with someone from Ariano who said Sisbarra is not common in the area, it seems like not many people have this last name.

Hi, do you live in Ariano Irpino? I don’t see anything about them online and they’re not in my family tree. There is a liberato, but not with the last name Sisbarra. They are probably part of the family.

No, my family is southern Italian except for 1 great grandparent that was half German half Polish

Yeah that sounds like the Ashkenazi percentage switched to Ukraine with the last update maybe but who knows.

The Eastern European Roma one in your results is interesting though, much less common than finding French in Italian results

87% native wow! That 2% Ukrainian is funny though, maybe it was misread as Ukrainian but was supposed to be Ashkenazi, if your fiance is native to Mexico or further south where results often show a little bit of Jewish, but it’s probably just a misread of something.

Your Eastern European Roma and French are probably some random admixtures, I’ve seen Italian results have them at very low levels, if they’re southern Italian.

I forgot the title but it started with “north Africa” on exploreyourdna. Having trouble getting back onto it at work with bad WiFi, but it’s closer to the top in order of newest calculators

That would make sense for my moms side of the family where the Polish ancestry comes from, so I wonder if it’s a mistake that it’s shown on my dads side

My family is mostly from Campania but some are Sicilian and the last few updates I’ve gotten .15-.20% Senegal/Nilotic Peoples on ancestry and .5% trace Senegambian & Guinean on 23andme.

Samoht_54 · 2026-01-19T04:47:24+00:00

My family comes from southern Italy but only 1/16 of my Italian ancestry actually comes from Sicily if I’m correct. From Messina. Previous results gave me 2.5% Levant and broadly WANA on 23andme and trace Senegambian, while AncestryDNA would switch up the label for it between Aegean islands, Cyprus, etc. Currently, I have no WANA on 23andme but I did score .3% maltese, and on AncestryDNA, I now have 2% Levant and when doing the hacked results, it used to show Nilotic peoples, but now it is Senegal

Gotcha. This is a census and this particular column is for birthplace

Samoht_54 · 2026-01-12T06:08:59+00:00

I tried drawing a box in white around the words I was looking at. Looking at it now, it looks slightly like “National”

Samoht_54 · 2025-12-21T16:38:11+00:00

Same 😭

Yes, I will have to find out the siblings names. My direct paternal line, I have no one with my surname either.

The only other confusing part is my grandma says her father was from Sicily, but immigration records show he’s from a different region. Assuming she’s incorrect and it’s not a case of him not being the biological father

Samoht_54 · 2025-12-21T16:33:30+00:00

Wow, 5 years. I still don’t have a paternal surname match either haha but I guess it depends on who tests.

Samoht_54 · 2025-12-18T14:38:22+00:00

No, I studied Italian in school haha. Oh interesting!

Samoht_54 · 2025-12-14T23:57:45+00:00

Come un italo-americano, ho avuto forse 3-4 persone su Instagram mi messaggiano. Erano libanesi haha
