I can understand a bit of Polish actually. I mostly speak Ukrainian and Russian though. Yeah but he lost most of it, he came in France as a baby during WW2 and I'm learning Polish but I feel like the sounds of it are so unnatural for my mouth haha.

DNA tests make no sense! I give up since different results on 2 tests. Lame! When my dad saw this first 23andme test he said it was fake. This MyHeritage test seemed a bit better but still seems wrong.

DNA tests make no sense! I give up since different results on 2 tests. Lame! When my dad saw this first 23andme test he said it was fake. This MyHeritage test seemed a bit better but still seems wrong. Well, yeah. I've taken 2 different tests and imported my data into other sites and and they all say different things though they all seem to agree that i'm northwestern European. I got one test that said I was 85% percent English, EIGHTY FIVE percent English, and the rest was like Spanish or something. Another one said I was upwards of 80 percent Scandinavian despite me finding no Scandinavians in my tree at all. It's really well known that these tests can't really be trusted except to show the general region someone is from. Your family tree is what you should go by when counting ancestors. However, given that I must question what you find so objectionable about the two tests. Having Balkan, German, Ashkenazi Jewish and even southern European ancestry would actually be VERY common for someone living in Eastern Europe; or do you think Ukrainians are some kind of pure Slavic race? On top of that you only have 2% (probably German) population, only 0.6 Ashkenazi Jewish, and 1.8% Southern European. That is a vanishingly small and extremely insignificant percentage of people who actually would not be very uncommon in Ukraine historically that are supposedly a part of your gene pool. How far back can you trace your family tree? This admixture could go back to before the founding of Kievan Rus even! The rest of your results which makes up above 88% percent of your gene pool, you know the VAST majority of it, is from Eastern Europe and the Balkans, you know, UKRAINE and the nations in the general vicinity of Ukraine. I don't see the problem. No one gets pure results because in the end everyone's' a mutt even people straight from Europe. You're right about the tests showing different results though. The supposed explanation is that different companies identify different groups differently. The sample from one saying "English" could be identified using a different genetic criteria than another using, "British Isles" for example and it would show up differently in different tests, but all that shows me is that these companies cannot distinguish between ethnic groups very well. These tests are really only good for identifying general regions of a continent like Northwest Europe for me, and Eastern Europe and the Balkans for you but really seem to drop the ball when they get specific.

These tests are really only good for identifying general regions of a continent like Northwest Europe for me, and Eastern Europe and the Balkans for you but really seem to drop the ball when they get specific. I can trace it to my great grandparents which were born in Keivan Rus according to my dad. Which is why he was really against 23andme test result that he didn't wanna share his YDNA with me for another test! Also the 23andme didn't add up to 100%...I cut out the Vietnamese part at the bottom But yeah, I plan to do another test. I keep getting confused but slightly less each time so 3rd time is the charm right? And surprised you got Scandinavian too but then I hear blonde hair and blue eyes come from their and you've light hair right? Any blonde and blue eyed people in your family? But I was shocked didn't say Scandinavian on my 23andme. Hmm. Did you get traits on your 23andme? Unless that's only with the health part. Most of my traits were right but they said I've no dimples and I have humongous ones I'd like to shrink a bit at times

ElizabethYour DNA result is normal. But those are general info. If you're interested in more details (e.g. genetic admixtures, closest ethnic groups to you, and etc) upload your data to GEDmatch: www.gedmatch.com/Or ask the members of this forum to run some calculators and interpret your data: anthro.com/forum.php

Like there's no German or French people in my 3rd to 5th generation.
