I did a 23andme Test
My Results:
81.7% West African of which -
71.2% Igbo People (Southeastern Nigerian)
Senegambian & Guinean 2.3%
Ghanaian, Liberian & Sierra Leonean 2.0%
Broadly West African 2.3%
Congolese & South East African 3.8%
Angolan & Congolese 3.8%
European 16.7% of which -
10.9% Spanish & Portuguese
Northwestern European of which -
French & German 3.8%
British & Irish 0.5%
Broadly Northwestern European 1.2%
Broadly European 0.3%
Indigenous American 1.3%
Trace amounts of Pakistani & North Indian 0.2%
0.1 Unassigned
My Great-Grandfather is a White Man from ''England'' according to my Father so thats where the Spanish/Portuguese comes from.
Indigenous American is denoting Indigenous Carib (KALINAGO) ancestry - thought it would be more tbh..

23&me are trying to guess countries and even regions of countries, but from my experience they are not correct. They give Poland and Russia for me, while I know that I am Ukrainian and have my documents which clearly speak a different story. One more thing. It is a mistake to ignore the section DNA relatives, go there and maybe you will find a close cousin. To the left there is an option to see ancestor birthplaces of your matches. This is actually more telling than countries and regions 23&me gives you. Ancestor birthplaces of my matches:  USA can be ignored, because 23&me customers are mostly Americans, but then the rest of countries and Ukraine being on the top makes very much sense to me. One thing to keep in mind is that âPolandâ is over represented in 23andMe for several reasons. Firstly Poland, Ukraine and Russia are genetically closely related which is why all of Eastern Europe is lumped together, itâs hard as it is to distinguish between them. Secondly most customers are from the US and there are way more Polish Americans (9.2 million) than Russian Americans (2.4 million) or Ukrainian Americans (1.0 million) and lastly many Ukrainian Americans have been misidentified as being Polish because they emigrated from the previous borders of Poland ( before WWII Poland controlled western Ukraine). Also I suspect many were also misidentified as being Russian since they emigrated from the Russian Empire. That being said for me it lists both Russia and Ukraine as being highly likely and Poland being a possible match. My Mom is highly likely to be Russian, likely to be Ukrainian and possibly Polish. While my Dad is highly likely to be Ukrainian, likely to be Russian and possibly Polish) this matches up pretty well with my family history, although both my parents were born in southern Ukraine, my mom does trace a lot of history back to southern Russia, while my dads side traces back to central and western Ukraine. That being said itâs odd that you didnât even get a possible match for Ukraine? |

The number of matches with ancestors from Ukraine is now higher for me than the number of matches with ancestors from Poland and Russia. Is it the same for you?  |

It took about a month to receive a result. Somewhat I wished to have variety of backgrounds but what can you expect coming from one of the most homogeneous countries in the world.  Considering France's geographical location situated at a cross-road of Europe, even my partner is relatively purer for an average French. Assuming that 27% of Iberian can be interpreted as Southwestern French(from Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region) since their genetic traits are closer to the Northern Spanish than the rest of French. A good mixture between Atlantid and Gracile Mediterranid.  |

I recently downloaded my raw DNA file from 23andMe and uploaded it to FamilyTreeDNA and got wildly different results lol
23andMe Ancestry
Eastern European 99.7%
- Russian: Highly Likely
- Ukraine: Likely
- Poland: Likely
- Belarus: Possible
Ashkenazi Jewish: 0.3%
FamilyTreeDNA Ancestry
West Slavic: 66%
Baltic: 26%
Anatolia/Armenia/Mesapotamia: 4%
Finnish: 3%
Seems kina bizarre that I didn't get assigned any East Slavic (it literally says 0% lol). My paternal grandma is from western Ukraine, so I guess western Ukrainians might get categorized as West Slavic, but everyone else on my family tree is from Southern/Eastern Ukraine and Southern Russia.
So from these two, 23andMe seems to be way more accurate based on what I know of my heritage.

There has been speculation that some distant great grandmother was Jewish, but I feel like almost every Russian/Ukrainian family says that so as to claim being descendants of Abraham. That being said 23andMe predicts I had Jewish ancestor 5+ generations ago (<1840) |

Jews have really interbred throughout history, rarely marrying others up until very recently. If your Jewish DNA is actually real, I'd be surprised. |

DNA test results are uploaded to Bill Gatesâs mass surveillance database. I donât think anyone can convince me to take a DNA test.
My ancestry is mostly English, French and Italian. I didnât need a DNA test to know that.
