DNA Results


By Laura Gonzalez - Posted on 31 August 2013

Hi all,

I just got my FTDNA results this evening. It's rather complicated, so I'm going to have to read up a bit on interpreting the info. It doesn't look like the Family Finder basic gives you your haplogroup, unless I'm missing it.

I took the Ancestry.com test a year or so ago. My results there, separated according to my guess:

Father:
British Isles-34%
Scandinavian 11% (I'm assuming it was Viking, leaving some DNA in England and Ireland.)

Mother (full-blooded Mexican):
East Asian;17% (Native American, I think)
South Asian 10% (Roma, I think, from Spain)
Native North American: 8%
Native South American: 6%
Southern European: 7% (Spanish)

Total:
European: 52%
--------

FTDNA results:
Western European: 52.94%
Native American: 10.91%
East Asian: 21.49%
South Asian: 14.66%

The percentages appear to be very close to each other.

Beyond this, I'm still not sure how to read the rest of my results. I'll do that later at a more decent hour!

Thanks,
Laura Gonzalez
