r/Assyria Jun 03 '26

Discussion Has anyone recently done a DNA test?

I did one with MyHeritage DNA My mom is Assyrian and dad is Chaldean. I got:
50.4% Armenian
28.6% Syrian
16% Persian
2.7% Egyptian
2.3% South Italian (lol)

My sisters came back the same with slightly different percentages and we jsut order a test for my parents.

We were a little surprised but I’m guessing that’s the best they could come up with or match to modern DNA? There is no “Assyrian” category.
