Travelling People / Re: Romany DNA - what would you expect to see?
« on: Saturday 12 May 18 15:31 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

I was just wondering if people of Romany decent get a lot of different results on all the DNA tests?

I always get about 10-25 percent of my results very questionable, where as the rest is always very similar. of the 10-25 percent i always get different results varying from this list...

West Asia
India
Ashkenazi jew
Eastern Europe
Iberian
Azerbaijan jew
south russia
or they can't place it anywhere

I don't know my dads side, but I'm very white... was just wondering if anyone thinks i should look into possible Romany connections???

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Different DNA Test, Different Results
« on: Saturday 12 May 18 15:19 BST (UK)  »
I have the same problem- but what I found was that, the more i tested with different companies ( free ones mostly) I started to get a bigger picture of my DNA.. i sort of got a mean of all the results together. my results summed up were

ancestry dna
almost all irish- french - tiny bit of Spanish scandinavian

23and me
almost all irish- french- tiny bit of ashkenazi jewish

family tree dna
irish eastern europe

livingdna
irish and 5 percent indian???

my heritage
Irish, scandinavian 7 percent west asia ???

DNALand
irish, scandinavian, Finnish, spanish, european jewish, india/ west asian

Then gedmatch managed to break these down even further... I sort of cross referenced all the tests, and researched the movement of people around these parts, to understand why i was getting such a different genetic makeup from all these websites.

I still don't really know though, hope the science gets better to the point where they are agreeing more. some sites say I'm up to 20 percent west asian- then others say completely european !! aaahhhhh

overall I think the DNA tests are worth doing- even if it is new science- as I didn't even know I was Irish so....
