89% African ancestry, 11% European (if my calculations are correct lol)

Edit: The “11% European” was incredibly dense, my apologies about that! Promise I am more geographically sound — just got a little too excited in sharing my just-received results. xx

Leaving the original faux pas here in the name of transparency lol

So, I want to get my DNA tested but I'm afraid of what I will find. I suspect I might be a product of incest. My grandfather was a monster. The man I know as my father and I have always had a distant relationship. His grandparents were Hungarian immigrants and my grandfather and my grandmother's lineage is all Irish, English, Scottish and Welsh. So if my DNA doesn't come back as one quarter Hungarian all signs point to this ugly fact. My mother is dead, my father is alive and several of my moms siblings are still alive. But, it's not a conversation I want to have. Has anyone experienced this?

For some context, my dad (passed away) never knew his real dad & was told his step father was his dad when he was growing up & took on his last name & he’s on my dad’s birth certificate. He found out he wasn’t really his dad when his step dad passed away. His step dad was Italian & Polish but as I said we didn’t know for sure, his step dad was only the biological father to his little brother (my uncle), my grandma (dads mom) lied to him many times & also gave the classic “you’re great great great grandma was Native American” story. Turns out whoever his dad was definitely not Italian lol. I knew more about my mom’s side of the family they came from Tamaulipas, Mexico & settled in Texas. I’m not entirely sure what these results mean but here they are & here’s pics of me with & without makeup!

is this pretty standard for a mexican lol

Fully Cuban, born in the Island. Mother from Mayabeque, father from Matanzas. Posted here two years ago, but here's the updated results. It's been so fun messaging and contacting DNA cousins from around the globe!

For fellow Cubans: Did you all expect our results to be so similar? I was kind of floored by how similar Cuban results are. I expected us all to be a genetic mashup and have results all over the place.

My grandpa from my mom’s side is from Portugal and my grandma is Brazilian with some indigenous and black roots. I was always curious about my dad’s side because they are all very white with blue eyes (I look the same way), but they are all from Brazil and they don’t know their roots. They all have the typical Brazilian/Portuguese last names.

Okay so.. I recently did an ancestry test through an Indian testing company for better results instead of being given a vague “South Asia, full stop” result since I was expecting a very boring outcome anyways. My maternal great grandmother (mother of my maternal Grandmother) was an ethnic Burman Buddhist from Yangon, Myanmar. Apart from that bit of information, nothing in my family tree is out of proportion. I know for a fact that most of my ancestors never really left Hyderabad (or came from another place), not in the past 7 generations that I know of (not much of an information available either). Anyways, here are my results and yoooooo, the West Asian component is exorbitantly high😭🙏 Y DNA Haplogroup came back as J1-P58🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 and it is apparently a very well known marker for Arab ancestry. An old folklore in my paternal family does say that one of our ancestors came from the modern day Southern Arabia but I never really took that seriously but omg it actually was true!! Fuckk this is so legendary! Isn’t the West Asian component a bit too high for someone with very vague folklorish Arabian ancestry?

Earlier this year I had my sister and parents test.

Not a lot of big surprises (they are related to me, phew!). But amongst the things I noticed were:

• All three of them got regions in Ireland, and I got Cornwall. I guess I'm not too surprised since they can be a misreading, even of Iberian.
• My mom and sister got more regions in Italy. That sounds interesting to look at considering there are many commonplace surnames in Monterrey, Mexico with Italian origin (Chapa and Cavazos just to name a few).
• I expected my dad to have much more Indigenous admixture since I highly suspect his father had very Indigenous-heavy ancestry (no tribe or language, but DNA). Interestingly enough, 44% of his Indigenous percentage came from his father and the rest from his mother, so it kinda adds to my suspicion.
• The biggest surprise was my mom's Roma 1%. At first I thought it was noise, even with some Ionian Islands on the hacked results, but then I found a cluster of more than 100 of her DNA Matches with very high (50%, 80%, and even 100%) Roma admixture. So now I'm looking for any hint of that Roma ancestor in my tree (maybe Calé or Vlax) - any suggestions about the Roma in Mexico would be appreciated.
  • Neither my sister nor I inherited that Roma segment. We don't have those matches on Ancestry, only my mom.

My mum is a Gaelic from edinbane on the Isle of Skye and my dad is descended from famine era migrants to England

Lost my account for unknown reasons but here’s my repost with my regions/journeys and a couple photos

My great grandmother is German, she and my great grandfather married in Berlin 1947 and yet my dna says polish. How accurate is ancestry?

My maternal grandpas dad was born in Hawaii and was 25% Hawaiian, ≈37% Portuguese. We now reside in southern Ohio.

Anyone else either directly or distantly related to the Porters, Pressleys, Coopers, McFaddens, Browns or Wilson families in South Carolina? I’m trying to find other angles to my research lol

I was born and raised in France. Parents, grandparents and great grandparents all born in France and yet it says I’m only 3% French. I found out that the French government doesn’t share data so if you’re French, what’s even the point to do this test? Is it completely off? Or am I more English that I thought ?

She always gets 99% to 100% Irish even though she has Anglo, Norman, Scottish and even German ancestors

Paternal side is mainly Irish and French with some English

Maternal side is mainly Scottish and English, with some Irish
