I ordered a dna test where it’s required to rub a swab inside of my cheek and place it inside the tube and mail it back. Is there a time limit I need to be aware off? How long can I keep it before and if it gets expired or dissolved ? Because it’s gonna take at least 2-3 weeks to arrive at the company.

I was told last night that my 85 year old grandmother revealed right before she died (40 years ago) that she had given birth to a girl and the father took the baby away. She never saw her again.

I don’t know if it’s a true revelation or the wandering mind of a very old woman. Assuming what she said is true and if the girl has posterity, I would like to try to find what happened to her.

If she existed, she would be my great aunt.

1. I was told that the oldest, closest living relative is the best, most accurate person to test. Would it matter if it is my older sister or myself?
2. My daughter has done DNA testing. Would that be good enough?

I am...extremely very not good at math, and all the charts I can find only go back as a whole one percent. Both the AncestryDNA hack and regular 23AndMe have me at roughly .1% Subsaharan African (23 has me at Broadly, the Ancestry hack spreads it between .05% Western Africa and the Bantu people each).

Mostly just trying to figure out if it happened before or after Europeans colonized the Americas or not, and all that entailed as far as racial politics goes.

Also .1% Indigenous American on both tests that, according to my aunt, came from a Choctaw woman who married into the family in the early 1800s, but I've been told by others that with such a low amount that she was mostly likely not fully Indigenous

Other than a few other surprising quirks (both tests show 1% WANA, both show roughly .5% Filipino and I matched with a few distant cousins in the Philippines on 23 so that one doesn't seem to be just noise, and .2% Indian subcontinent on 23), I'm overwhelmingly descended from all over Europe

Can anyone help me with my DNA results? 1989cm 53seg 29% shared dna Aunt or grandmother?

I’m born and raised in Ireland and all my family is from ireland, but when i did a dna test I was 97% Irish and 3% Norwegian, would this be from the Vikings or just and outlier?

Thanks

Hello I'm new here... Shockingly new. My results from the cestry are supposed to be ready today but it's almost noon and nothing? I'm confused.

I'm trying to figure out which DNA site to invest in to find my ancestry. Which is more reliable?

Shocked to see I had ancestry hdecending from a few of those Ethiopian groups

I have already done AncestryDna but I uploaded my dna to this website called Genomelink and it basically tells you more about yourself and what you are so here is mine :) and I always have known I have Indigenous heritage , I’m also white of course

i bought a 23andme test a few years ago in the hopes of finding my half brother who i've never met. i never sent it in, it expired, they sent me a new test, and i have been waffling on submitting it in light of all the financial troubles the company has now, since they may go out of business or sell the company and there are no privacy protections for the data (HIPPA doesn't apply). now i am wondering if it is safe to use the test, especially in light of the current political climate. also i am an ashkenazi jew (98% according to ancestry), which was the biggest group affected in the massive data breach that led to their current problems. should i just forget it and eat the cost of the test? i hate to waste $100 and i am really curious about the results, but i also don't want to risk my safety or security with this DNA test. so i am curious if people here have any thoughts on this situation.

Haven’t done this before and I’m getting one for my partner! Myheritage.com seems to be a good one But i also heard a lot about Ancestry.com and 23andme.com

He is australian, and has always been super interested in history and where he comes from ❤️

Hello everyone I have done a lot of dna test and nearly all have said about 70% German. I have build my family tree nearly 100% and have found 0 from Germany. I’m from Denmark so It kind of make sense to me that I’m 70% German just don’t know how. Also some of the dna test have shown some Middle Eastern but yeah idk. I heard that I had some Jewish heritage also shown on my result from dna test just can’t find it in my family try Hope you guys can give some help to figure out how

Aren't these places basically the same? These are not my results but a family members. She kinda felt like she wasted her money. What do you think? Should she try somewhere besides Ancestry or are these result readings normal?

Of my four grandparents, my maternal grandfather is Armenian from the Persian diaspora that were relocated to Isfahan in 1604. My paternal grandmother is north Welsh and the other two are coincidently (supposedly) of English and Irish heritage.

I took a test through FTDNA which gave back the following results:

Irish: 65% Welsh/English: 10% Greek and balkans: 16% Finland: <2% Anatolia Armenia and Mesopotamia: 5% Southern caucus: < 2%

I was slightly confused at the lower Armenian and Welsh readings so ran my dna through My Heritage because I have also heard that Armenian dna can be misinterpreted due to a lack of people having tested.

However it came back with the following results:

Irish Scottish Welsh: 42.7% Scandinavian: 24% Baltic: 8.2% Italian: 2.2% Ashkenazi: 0.9% Sephardic Jewish: 10.3% West Asian ( turkey, Armenia, Iran Armenia, Syria, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Iraq): 9% Mesoamerocan: 1.8%

Why such a contrast in results? It seems to be very inconsistent. Particularly with the My Heritage reading which shows such a large spread of different ethnicities. I know that it would be very unlikely that i would have such a mix considering the nature of the communities that my maternal grandfather and paternal grandmother came from.

Is anyone able to share a view in this or possible explanation?

What free things can I do?

Hi Everyone,

I just received the mtDNA result of my father. It says my paternal grandmother's haplogroup was mtDNA H1h1.

Background: I am Hungarian, and this side of my family was ethnic Hungarian from the eastern part of the country as far as we can trace it back in time.

The geographical frequency of H1h1 looks like this:

source: hras.yseq.net

My grandmother's best match is a contemporary Italian sample in the H1h1* subbranch. BTW, the H1h1* subbranch is a Balkans-heavy one with samples from Serbia, Montenegro, Turkey, and an ancient sample from Hungary (https://www.yfull.com/mtree/H1h1/)

I find it very difficult to interpret this result. First, I can't understand how a quite particular haplogroup like H1h1 can have very distinctive subbranches in geographically distant places like Finland and the Balkans, or Eastern Spain, but virtualy nothing in between. Second, how can I interpret this result historically? What does it mean to my family? Did one of my grand-grand-grandmothers come from the Balkans? If so, when? And what does that Italian connection mean? I don't know of any significant historic, demographic links between Southern Italy and Hungary.

I am grateful for any interpretation ideas.

My dna results get downvoted for no reason. Can someone tell me why? Do people think im a bad person for my genetic components? I actually dont get it because it happens here in generic dna groups. lame to troll ancestry
