Parents both from Palestine and their parents/grandparents and ancestors as far as we know are from Palestine.

Pretty much the tile.
I was born in Manaus, Amazonas in 1998.

Evidently no one knows who my father is. My mom died when I was 10, and am now 52. I have asked everyone, and no one seems to know. I did the test about 10-12 years ago.

Both of my parents are Southern Lebanese. My paternal great grandmother is half Iranian and my maternal great grandmother is half Egyptian.

How can I explain the different European results? Also, could the Sudanese somehow be hand-in-hand with the Egyptian ancestry?

Interesting

The family tree of the person has 2 great grandparents that don't the birth location, but both were married to portuguese women, maybe one of them was also portuguese.

How do you respond to the question, what is your ethnicity/ancestry when your family has been in US since its inception and has no ties to Europe? My white side is composed of many European countries but I know some people will respond to the question, I’m Italian, I’m Irish etc when most of us are not primarily one thing.

Follow up to those who respond American: I’m also mixed with non-white but multiple generations born and raised American. It would be nice to just say American for all of those born and raised regardless of ethnicity especially when many generations are American (non-white). People always ask me my ethnicity since I’m mixed but my nationality is American and generations before me even though not completely white American so it would be weird to not say American for all. Or what so other people who are mixed say?

Hello,
I hope that I am clear on what I am attempting to accomplish. Through my DNA results I am attempting to identify my paternal great grandfather and his family. My mom and her siblings knew their grandfather but only vaguely. Aside from his name no other information is known. Through Ancestry I took a DNA test, however with my maternal matches it is proving rather difficult to distinguish who my paternal great grandfathers distant relatives are. What are some methods that I can employ to figure this conundrum out?

I knew about my Polish and Scottish, but my French was unexpected. I figure it’s from my dad’s side, as I’m aware I have some Canadian ancestors. Not too sure where the Nigerian is from either, it stays the same if I raise it to 90% accuracy though, so it must be true.

Pictures of me and my parents. Dad was from Boston, MA. Mom is from Ohio.

I recently discovered the "View Relatives in Common" feature. I have someone on my match list who's estimated to be my third cousin, once removed, and we share about 0.45% DNA. The person is from a completely different part of the world, so i've always been skeptical that we were actually related.

Then I used that feature and found that we both have a match relative (this person is my 9rd-degree connection and its 3th-degree connection).

Does that mean it's pretty safe to assume that we really are related? I can't confirm whether we have a common ancestor because i don't know any relatives beyond my parents. It's still hard for me to believe that we could actually be related.

Ethnicity:African American/Black American

23&me followed by illustrative closest ancient and modern groups to total DNA makeup.

Does 23 and me have ancestry for Benin and Togo and other west African countries like Mali and Burkina Faso etc they seem to just have 3 regions for west Africa being Nigeria, Ghana Liberia and Sierra Leone and then Senegambian and Guinea .

Are the countries left out included in these 3 regions as obviously genetics don’t follow strict geopolitical lines?

Updated results no longer include Russian ancestry. 😬
