RaceBannon posted:I would say it is almost more useful for mixed people than people of non-mixed ancestry. There was a push at 23andme a few years back to get more samples from people with known roots in Africa to give more accurate responses to people of African descent. I know that they were giving out free samples to people who could prove that their grandparents were all from the same country in Africa. The "ancestry composition" results have since been improved slightly to distinguish which part of Africa one's ancestry comes from. Thanks. The legend in my family is that a French white slavemaster raped a black slave girl, which started the mother's side of my family. It would be really cool to verify that genetically. Guess I'll give 23andme a shot if I ever have money to blow on interesting but pointless stuff like this

Except in this case, the knick-knack is your genes. I wish I was an Indian sometimes so I could blame my alcoholism on the white man. Also so I could use peyote with fewer legal loopholes to jump through.

Woden posted:That's really cool, I figured when you were talking about different algorithms that the different companies used they'd hide all that data like search engines hide theirs. Oh, and that some of them might be just making poo poo up. Only 23andMe shows the breakdown by chromosome. Ancestry and FamilyTreeDNA hide it, but you can just take your raw data from either of those sites and upload it to Gedmatch.com, which will give you about a dozen different 3rd party ethnicity calculators to play around with. They don't look quite as pretty and easy to read as 23andMe's though. JediTalentAgent posted:I'm sort of wondering about these tests on Amazon I haven't heard of them before, so I don't know if they're worthwhile, but based on what I know about testing for Native DNA, I doubt they're worth it. Also, like 90% of America thinks they're descended from Cherokee, and they're almost all wrong. This is another thing I wanted to talk more about, but I'll have to write it up later.

I only asked because I recall that you're adopted. I don't know what you know about your bio family, but from this, it looks like your father was Mexican. Native American (Northern) is a possibility, but I think that given that combo of Native / Iberian / Middle Eastern, I think Mexican fits pretty perfectly. We can tell that it's only one parent, because the Native / Middle Eastern / African segments all show up non-overlapping. Which means that one chromosome of each pair is blue (European) and one chromosome is orange / red / purple (non-Euro), so one parent is pretty much all white/Euro and the other parent is not. From there you can tell that it's your father who is likely Mexican (or maybe some other kind of Central American, I don't have any experience looking at the DNA of other Central American groups) because you have one X chromosome, and it's blue / Euro. If you were a woman, you'd have two X chromosomes, one from each parent, and we would be unable to tell which was from which, but since you're a man, you only have one. You got a Y chromosome from your father, and the X from your mother. And since the X is Euro, your mother is the Euro parent and your father is the non-Euro parent. Since Mexicans are a mix of mainly Native and Spanish (southern Euro / Iberian) DNA, your Y chromosome from a Mexican father could be either Native or European in origin. What Y haplogroup does 23andMe give you? Unless you already know about your bio family and you don't care about my analysis of your results.

Mnemosyne posted:I've been involved in direct-to-consumer genetic testing for about 6 years now and can answer all your your questions! Or I could, if I had more time. I'll try to hit some major points, but a lot of the answers to your questions require lengthy, somewhat technical explanations. Have you heard of the company Genebase? If so, what do you think of them? I'm adopted, and have no information on either biological parents side when it comes to ancestry or medical data. I ended up paying genebase (around five years ago) for a 91 marker y-chrom test, but that poo poo was impossible for me to parse. Any other sites I can kiss my genetic data into to have it read?

I had it done for both myself and my boyfriend, so I'll show you our results. It's a lot more interesting if you're of mixed race heritage versus being a generic cracker like me. My ancestry report: And his:  It also tells you your haplogroups (only maternal if you're female, both if you're male), whether or not you're a carrier for various diseases, and a few things about physical traits like eye color and dimples and such. For $5 you can get a report from https://promethease.com/ that tells you more in depth medical aspects, like various diseases you're predisposed to and physical things like how you metabolize medications.

Three Olives posted:H2a2a Hm, H2 as a Y haplogroup is pretty rare. Or at least it's rare in the English-speaking world, so it's hard to tell how prevalent it might be elsewhere due to other populations not having been tested much. It looks like H2 likely started around India (we're talking thousands of years ago, not recent Indian ancestry), but is found in lower concentrations as far west as the Iberian peninsula, so that could fit with the Mexican / Hispanic pattern. But with it being an Asiatic haplogroup, that means it might be a Native haplogroup as well, though I never see it mentioned as a Native haplogroup. That doesn't mean it doesn't occur in low concentrations though, since most Native Americans are not very interested in letting the white man have their DNA. And all Native Americans left in America are very mixed at this point anyway. I'd look through your DNA Relatives list, I'm assuming you'll see more than a few with Spanish last names. Are you interested in trying to actually find bio family, or just curious?

Cuckoo posted:How useful is this for black/mixed black people? I heard that a person of color got one of those tests and it said that some of their ancestry was from "black slaves", with no indication of what kind of black or from where. As you can kind of see from what I was posting regarding Three Olives posts, you can often tell a lot more about people of mixed ancestry. If you look at my own chart, it's pretty much 99.8% blue / Western Euro, and about 90% of that is from the British Isles. It's hard for me to make much progress with "pretty much all of your ancestors are a bunch of limeys." The best my pretty homogeneous results can tell me is when I'm on the wrong track. As mentioned, my paternity is unknown. My mother was sure she knew who my father was. The man in question believed he was my father, his whole family thought he was my father. I had never met him nor his family, so I wasn't invested in it at all. Once I took this DNA test, I started to be curious, so I tracked him down. It was the right guy, and he thought he was my father. I started researching his family and found he was French Canadian, which did not fit with my DNA results (not just the ethnicity results, but the DNA cousin matches and other things). I started saying that I didn't think he was my father and everyone told me I was wrong. Eventually I asked his family to test for me, and they came back as not related to me at all. If I hadn't done the DNA test, I would have never questioned that he was my father. I told her he wasn't my father, and she claimed it was impossible. She pointed me towards the only other boyfriend she says she had in that time period, and I researched his family. Also French Canadian, so he couldn't be my father either. She claimed that there were no other possibilities and it had to be him if it wasn't the first guy. Just to prove that I was right, I DNA tested him. Again, no match. So now she claims that this is impossible, the DNA tests are wrong, and won't tell me anything else. Anyway, more relevant to your own situation; one of my earliest DNA matches (on my mother's side) is a guy who is mostly black but is of mixed black and white ancestry. My ancestry includes a lot of slave-owning southerners. His grandfather was very light-skinned, so the whole family always assumed what most everyone would assume... that there was a black slave woman and a white slave-owning man a few generations earlier. However, the DNA has shown that his Y chromosome (inherited from your father's father's father, etc) is African and from Cameroon. So now we're looking for a black man / white woman combo. I've personally narrowed our connection down to a specific family living around Nash county, North Carolina in the 1700's, but I haven't managed to get more specific than that yet.

I did one for 23andme and am awaiting results from Ancestry.com. I am doing them because I was adopted as an infant and New York and New Jersey hasn't opened the vault on actual birth certificates yet (January 2017 is the date though). I could care less but somehow my wife feels this will be important to our son. She doesn't get the idea that finding your birth family is a total crap-shoot: who knows what meth addict will wind up being your mother? That being said, the science, Haplogroups and the math behind it all is pretty fun in a nerdy way. The closest hit I got was third or forth cousin, possibly once removed. So basically our connection is some people from the early 1800s, who appear to be untraceable. Essentially useless for me, but interesting for 5 minutes. The surprise for me was that my father' side is a mix of Ashkenazi lineage. I like to imagine some sort of forbidden Jew/Irish West Side story like romance in the mid sixties leading to the rear end in a top hat typing this message. I did use GEDmatch to cross reference results. You can import your raw data in from most testing sites and can list who else in their database matches both of you and which don't. This helps narrow down some connections, along with Haplogroup matching. The downside of all this is the money. Ancestry is the worst in this regard. I waited till there were sales on the kits, as most of the genealogy game seems to be a money grab from Americans who want to claim they are descendant of some royalty. GEDMatch is one of a few sites that let people import results from most testing sites but since the entire data set is voluntary, it really only reflects a very small segment of the population, most of whom are there posting results because they don't who their parents are either. Average people don't go get tested because they know where they came from, and it's no big deal to them. Regarding Cuckoo's question: It's more interesting with mixed race people. My son is mixed; his mother is from the Caribbean and has over 40 half siblings. Her mother and father only had one child together but the father had at least 37 kids and her mother had 8. The chart for him is all over the place. I figure if he has a kid with a Chinese or Japanese girl we will have every major genetic group covered.
