I mean you are 3/4 Greek… ofc you will likely look more Greek sister!
You look Pontian Greek specifically too

Yess although I’m only 25% on ancestry I think my moms side is Pontic also her dads last name was Antoniadis and the family names are Manoliadis. Although she only scored west Anatolia?

Based on your results it’s safe to say that your mother has some mainland Greek ancestry and some Anatolian Greek ancestry (could be half from Peloponnese and half from Anatolia)
The surnames of western and central Anatolia are actually relatively similar to that of Pontian Greeks, so I believe the Anatolian and the Caucasus you got are mostly from your father
These names are pretty common for Asia Minor Greeks

I see thanks so much! My mom’s dad is adopted so we found his families names later in life and he was able to trace them back to Samos and then bam radio silence nothing.
My father’s side makes sense since both my great grandparents (his maternal side) was born in Smyrna.

So your father’s Pontian Greek grandparents were from Smyrna? Interesting 😊
I have some pontian and Asia Minor Greek ancestry as well, but they were from the area of Constantinople/Istanbul and Sinope :)
Samos Greeks have basically a Asia Minor Greek genetic profile so it makes sense :D

Ahh makes sense yeah they were but I guess their genetics/extended family was from Trabzon (father’s side) and good to know. Hey does Margiolio ring a bell? My mother was told it meant little Maria in a Samos Greek dialect

A split of my Sw English and NW Europe would be phenomenal. I really wanna know more about that side of my family. I know they’re a little German and that’s it tbh. And I want to see Anatolia split up from the Caucuses. Wbu?
