Are your ancestors from Balkans ? didn’t know specifically where they were from, Test showed: Eastern Europe 50% Balkan 37% Baltic 13% I would say Ukraine, Slovakia, Hungary, southern Poland are very likely with such results.

I just ordered a 23andme kit during a black friday sale. Will be interesting to find out. About 50% should be pure inbred north-Swedish, a quarter finnish/russian, and the last quarter is relatively unknown.
My friends always used to joke about me looking like a jew, and people on r/roastme called me jewish harry potter, a jewish german etc. I don't actually expect any jewish ancestry but who knows.

If that is you in your avatars here, I am pretty sure you are 0% Jewish. North Swedes can have some Finnish-like DNA because of Sami ancestry, but you do not seem like that. If I can guess, your result will be like 99% Northwestern Europe and among it over 90% Scandinavia with small percentages of Finland and Germany. 23&me is interesting, because it also gives paternal and maternal haplogroups. If you are a hardcore Swede, paternal must be I-something and maternal either H-something or U5.

My paternal grandfather was German with his family having lived in what's now Poland, or something like that; we know little about his family, but we suspect there might be ancestry further east than just Poland since the surname is pretty eastern sounding. And my maternal grandmother is from Tampere, with a Russian grandfather. So I'm only 50% Swedish, that I know pretty much for sure. The rest isn't as well-known.

And my maternal grandmother is from Tampere, with a Russian grandfather. So I'm only 50% Swedish, that I know pretty much for sure. The rest isn't as well-known. 23&me throws Swedish, Finnish and German people in one category - Northwestern Europe - so you may still end with 90% Northwestern Europe, but then it will be divided accordingly in Scandinavian, Finnish (23&me is the only company thinking Finnish are NW European) and French-German (23&me thinks French and Germans are the same people). I guess, you must get approx. 10-20 % Eastern Europe then, if your grandmother hasn't lied. It will still be an interesting result, small % of Jewish, Southern Europe or even Asia can happen, but small percentages are often considered as "noise", they may be a very far ancestry many hundreds years back or can be just nothing, an error in reading. Regarding your paternal lineage, Germans have I- haplogroup as well, but R- (R-M269 and downstream) is more common. Many Germans lived in Prussia which is part of Poland now, but their ancestry tends to be similar to other Germans, not Poles, although some do have Eastern European %. Finally, I think, you can be 80-90& Northwestern European and 10-20% Eastern European. And of course a very important part is your DNA relatives. I have discovered one Ukrainian Canadian 3rd cousin exactly on 23&me.

Got my results:
Mongoloid: 54% Frogfish: 33% Chihuahua: 13%
Sounds about right.

I'm also getting one for Christmas. I know I already posted my mum's one (which was ancestry.com) but I want to see if mine is any different or similar. Plus I prefer 23andme's breakdown of the ancestry.

My aunty is getting one for Christmas, her results should basically be the same as my mother's would be. So if I randomly start attending BLM rallies, or celebrating Hanukkah, then you'll know why.

I did the 23andme kit thingy. I'll know results by March 3 hopefully

I got my 23andme results back and strangely enough my results are as if my paternal grandfather was eradicated from my DNA, and instead of 1/4 belonging to each grandparent, I've instead got 1/3 from each of my three grandparents. Which is ironic since those three I know quite a lot about ancestorywise, and it was my paternal grandfather in particular that I was curious about.
The total percentage 23andme has given me that I don't know for a fact comes from the other grandparents, is 4.9% (and those are just nonspecific stuff like broadly NW European, broadly European, British & Irish, Italian and "Trace"), and despite knowing for a fact that he was German with some Polish heritage, I have 0% from both Germany and Poland according to 23andme. They only had 3.1% Eastern European, all of which was deemed Russian, but that would be my maternal grandmother's russian grandfather.
The obvious thing you're gonna say is someone cheated or whatever, but I know for a fact that he was my real grandfather because he had a rare heritable disease that both my dad and one of my aunts inherited. And I'm extremely similar to my dad, I remember when I was a kid and I saw a black&white photo and asked my parents when the photo of me was taken because I couldn't remember it, and was told it was a photo of my father, not me.
But hey, at least they're telling me I'll likely not go bald 🤷♂️

Here's the results I got using the default algorithms with a 50% confidence level. However, I noticed you could use a slider to apply a more narrow filter to disregard the more uncertain parts of my DNA and only list that which they know with a 90% certainty, and those results are much more supportive of the idea that I actually have one grandparent not from Sweden or Finland. The downside is all they seem to know about him is that they aren't sure if he's from the Nordics or from somewhere else in Europe. And for anyone who thinks haplogroups are interesting, my paternal and maternal haplogroups were R-Z346 (R-M269/R1B1 subgroup) and W6 respectively, whatever that means.

Got my results today as well. Bit underwhelming tbh, a large part of it just says "Eastern European" and doesn't explain any further so I feel cheated. I want to know where in Eastern Europe!

I don't care about my DNA or lineage, whatever it is, I don't want to know about it, celebrate it, nor give a fuck, and I'm taking all that shit to grave with me anyhow.

Why did you post this in a thread created specifically for the discussion of DNA tests and lineage? Stay out of it if you don't care.

Looks to my like you should be able to click on it to get further detail? If you go to "See all tested populations" you should get a complete breakdown. Although you're right in that it doesn't give percentages, but if I click on my 3.1% eastern European I get Russia as the only likely match, and it gives me a map with color graded regions based on likelyness. They identified my specific county in Scandinavia for example. Not a percentage but still kinda useful I guess.
