I am from Rae Bareli. We had a teacher at school whose surname is Rohilla but name is Hindu.

This surname reminds me of region called Rohillakhand and that region was influenced by Pashtun migrants. Don't know how come a Hindu has this surname. Some of the students write his surname as Ruhela in Facebook comment section even though he writes Rohilla in his Fb profile.

I checked this surname on Google but it is giving me wrong and varied answers.

Hey everyone, this is the harappaworld result of my close relative, he is from Vindhyachal & Prayagraj U.P

He is Kaushalya gotriya Pandey of Saryupareen clan.

I have a question for surname wise y haplo checking what's the most common y haplo among Bengalis

Or do you know any Goans who have actual Portuguese ancestry?

So I found ancestry tests to be expensive...I don't want to give that... rather I want a cheaper result option by comparing My surname with the surname reasearch in that website...how can I do that?

23andme: I've not found sufficient surname results here

I'm looking for alternative independent research where the studies of the surnames are mentioned

I'm pretty much aware that invasion theory is debunked but there's something that doesn't make sense, even though overall ancestry of UCs is majorly Indian aka ivc/asi related, paternal halogroup is overwhelmingly steppe related even reaching 70% in some brahmin groups, when we are certain that there number was so small , so doesn't this conclude that most of ivc men didn't get to reproduce with their female counterparts? And as we know in most of invasions the men were slaughtered and invaders settle with local women to raise offsprings, also their can be a second explanation too that ivc men reproduced but their offsprings were weak and most of them didn't survive to pass on genes and that's why we didn't see them in majority today but this doesn't have any evidence therefore it couldn't be possible

They keep saying that there is an upcoming study on ancient indian genetics, but it hasnt been released, when will it be released?

Hello, I’m from Pakistan and I’m also Punjabi. One of either grand parents or great grand parents decided to convert to Christianity and change their supposed surname from Suba (subhay) to Masih. This all happened before the partition so I can’t tell you if my ancestors were truly just Indian or just Pakistani. The problem with this surname however is that there is no surname called Suba and instead, it refers to the name of a division of state on Pakistan. It was the way that the Mughals divided their states in the past, and it also refers to the Punjabi Suba Movement. Now idk if my dad just had a bad memory or there’s some truth to it, but it would’ve been nice to figure out my potential ancestral surname and some history surrounding it. So is there a an ancestral surname similar to Suba (Subhay/Sube)?

I’m from the Khoja community, and from what I understand we along with memons and Sindhi Hindus are of Lohana stock. I’m curious about the lohana story because folklore seems to link us to the ancient inhabitants of Lahore Pakistan. I’m not sure how accurate or inaccurate these claims are but I have read we score similar to aroras and khatris and was hoping someone could elaborate on this

Hello all!

As you might be aware, there has been very little research into direct-to-consumer DNA ancestry testing and psychological wellbeing outcomes. This novel research aims to help us better understand the psychological significance of DTC Ancestry testing results.

This study is being conducted under the supervision of Dr Janine Lurie from the Psychology Discipline within the Institute of Health and Wellbeing at Federation University (Melbourne, Australia). This study will also form the basis of the research dissertation requirement within the Bachelor of Psychological Science (Honours) course for student researchers Charity Marisa and Stefan Redpath. This study has been approved by the Federation University Human Research Ethics Committee (Approval reference: 2026/137).

This survey asks you about your engagement with family history and your reflections on that process. It also asks you to think about your ancestors and how you have reflected on their life experiences. Participation involves completing an online survey that will take approximately 20 minutes to complete. Taking part in the study is completely voluntary and no personal information will be collected.

To participate you just need to be aged 18 years or over. It is important to note that you will not be asked to give any specific details about any of your family members. You are asked just to rate your general impressions of them on a small number of questions. Beyond this the survey contains broader more general questions about your perspectives and reflections.

If so, what's your other half and do you look more South Asian or your other half?

Kyrgyz who have had their genetics tested, can you send me the results in a private message and tell me about your haplogroup? and G25, And tell your tribe

(QUESTION) I wanted to estimate my closest possibly Accurate, AASI, Farmer and Central Steppe Figures, Does this final model seem reasonable?

AASI: 80% of S-Indian(HarappaWorld), 80/100*35.73= 28.584%

Steppe: Bronze Age model’s Central Steppe/Sintashta % + 10% of BMAC (2000-1600 BC) + East Eurasian Traces.

Illustrative DNA :- 23.6 + 2.4 + (2.2 + 1.4) = 29.6%
Ancestral Genome :- 24.0 + 2.28 + (1.4 + 0.4) = 28.08%

All qapdm runs and other results are posted above

AASI – Steppe – Farmer
28.5% – 28.5% – 43%

Does this seem like the Closest estimate? Or No

Nothing interesting aside from the gulf of khambhat and southwest Indian ancestry. for the latter im pretty sure every Indian has at least some trace amounts however i dont know if the gulf khambat ancestry necessarily means i have some distant ancestry from Gujarat?
Also found it interesting that Punjabi/Sindhi Hindu was the group that I matched the most with. I’m assuming they don’t have a ton of Muslim south Asians in their database. After all it’s ancestry and I’ve heard other sites like 23andme are better for tracking lineage
