Mom is half Mexican half puerto rican. Never met biological father but was always told he was Jewish - I didn’t really grasp whether this was ethnically or religiously. I’ve always felt a little strange when asked what my ethnicity was, because I was never really sure what to say!

Surprised to see such a small percent Mexican, and very surprised by the large percentage of Spanish. I didn’t know a large percentage of Puerto Ricans were Spanish.

Fun fact: I raced in the Ironman 70.3 world championships last year in Marbella, Spain. Per my results, my ancestors came from southern Spain, right where I raced! I thought that was really cool!

As far as I know, my paternal ancestors were mainly Armenian (West Asian Christians with a bit of Russian influence) and my maternal ancestors were Mongolian (Asiatic nomads from a place where it snows 10 months of the year). It's interesting to see how diverse my results are, because in my day-to-day life I'm more or less just seen as a generic brown guy 😅

I've had these results for a while now but my West Asian part changed a bit recently (added Shirak Province where there used to be just Yerevan).

Edit: I changed my description of Armenians because it seemed a bit reductive in an insensitive way

I am extremely happy about the distant genetic groups, they are all accurate for me!

The new premium ancestry should be available worldwide now, since I purchased this in Hungary a few minutes ago.

Thank you 23andMe team!

Both sides of my family are from Jalisco(Tepatitlan)

I was kinda hoping for some Italian considering my great great grandmother was swiss Italian and lived near the border 🥴

Haplogroup is L2e

Pinpointed the exact region my parents are from. Have no idea where the Eastern European comes from though!

if there is any other madeiran result i would like to see the dna painting to comparison

Got my results back yesterday…
I think grandpa may have cheated on grandma

I actually found my bio father through 23andme.

Mexican and Cuban American here, I find this surprising I really thought I would be more Native American than Spanish, I was thinking something like maybe 60% Native American but surprised to see it’s the other way around. Interesting and the results are high enough that I guess my grandparents had to have been full Europeans even though they are Mexican and Cuban. Maybe it’s the Cuban side that brings out the Galician ancestry. Does anyone have similar results from either Mexican or Cuban background. I see it’s really a high result specifically for the Galician side.

hi yall :) i have been having lots of issues trying to decipher all of this, so i figured id ask the experts!

my mom’s side migrated to texas (central texas - new braunfels) from germany - 3/4 of my great grandparents trace ancestry directly from germany, and one of them is british as far as i can tell.

my dad’s side is a little more complicated. he was adopted, i don’t know anything about his birth father. I’ve been able to trace his birth mother decently back and still haven’t made it out of texas, sadly. his birth mother is now deceased, so no way of knowing anything about the paternal grandfather beyond whatever he contributed to our DNA.

i’m sure i need to go back and dig more there but ive been concentrating on the German branches more since i actually know that family branch haha

basically, my questions are thus: with such strong german roots on one side, i was expecting that percentage to be a little higher than 17%. would the french portion really be german, geographically? or is there legit french in there?

what is the difference between north english and scottish? where is the line drawn?

is anything in here just noise?

thanks in advance :) i’d be curious to hear from any other texas folks what they have in their trees as well!!

These are my moms results and definitely NOT wa hat I was expecting 😭 getting Nepal as a region is so interesting and cool. Says last 200 years. The Chinese is kind of expected in us eastern Bengalis/bangladeshis. The very high amount the central is uncalled for. Before I had 0.2% Central Asian, after phasing with her I got 0.4%. And the trace of welsh? I’m guessing noise because it goes away at the 90% confidence but says until 80%. Lmk if that means anything? Her haplogroup is M3. And apparently she shares 30% of dna with my 1st cousin? That’s seems a lot. lol.

I know that my grandparent 3 generations back was Irish, but I expected the percentage to be higher because my family is catholic and married into other Catholic Irish families in the north of England (Yorkshire) who were migrants from Ireland. What has suprised me more though, is the Canary islander - is this just noise, an error, or did I genuinely have an ancestor from there? I did my initial test back in 2020 and at that time it came back with around 10% broadly northern European without any southern European, but recently in the last year or two has shown Canary islander. Another thing that I thought is that possibly some canary islander/portugese dna in the Irish population. Thoughts?

grandmas dna

My Father is Hebronite Palestinian is it worth the 400 price tag to do a big Y?

OK so 20 minutes ok I post my rrsult but guess what is only 90% confidence idk why I do that but this is my full results

How accurate is 23 & Me's regions? When I suggested to my Grandma that we might be Dutch, she said her Grandparents were very big people. Like, really tall, big-boned, and naturally strong.

Tbh, Idk how to tell if it's real or not. She does not know where most of her family is from, but from my description does Western Germany or Dutch make more sense?

Idk if this helps, but if anyone knows a lot about immigration patterns, even though I have no Belgian regions, I have a cousin with the same genetic category, "Belgian, Rhinelander, and Southern Dutch," who on the relatives map is located in Belgium!

Hi everyone, hoping to get some clarification on my mothers results. She hasn’t taken 23&me only ancestry. However I grouped her results into a 23&me format & I was wondering if the MENA is considered high for a Mexican. Thanks for all the help in advance !
