But the real puzzle was the haplogroup and subclade: L3e and L3e5. This haplogroup doesn't seem to represented either in American or any European stats that I can find. This African haplogroup is a surprise not only because I am a Caucasian American, but also because it's not associated with American slave ancestry. I trace my maternal line to a woman born in 1779, probably in Pennsylvania, but I have not yet found any information on her family background. My autosomal results are mostly in the UK but I wonder if the Iberian (near Gibraltar on their map) DNA connections, so theoretically that could be a possibility. Wondering if you aware of any information on this haplogroup outside of Africa.Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01934333591754005542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7238849140976286627.post-39021327005934808092018-07-16T22:29:23.719+01:002018-07-16T22:29:23.719+01:00I recently got my results from Living DNA.

My autosomal results were reasonably in line with what I expected. 98.5 European 1.5 Unknown/kurdish possibly. Of the European 87.9 was British Isles, again, very reasonable. The odd thing is this: my Mt DNA Haplogroup is L3e5. I am an American female with no known African heritage. And even if there were some family history gaps, everything I have read on the web says that L3e5 is not present in the African American slave ancestry populations. It's described in one place as a group that never migrated far from the Chad basin. Perhaps there is more about this subclade and possible paths of migration. I understand we are talking about many thousands of years, but from what I have seen this group has very little presence outside of Africa. Any thoughts?<br />Thanks.Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01934333591754005542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7238849140976286627.post-71274438858444491122017-03-01T21:04:02.160+00:002017-03-01T21:04:02.160+00:00I got the results a few days before I posted the r...I got the results a few days before I posted the review. There are a lot of subclades below U106 which should be picked up by the Living DNA test, especially as they have a large number of Y-SNPs. I suspect it will not be possible to give too much information about the individual subclades because it simply doesn't exist.<br /><br />For U106 you'll get the best information from the U106 Project at Family Tree DNA:<br /><br /><a href="https://www.familytreedna.com/groups/u106/about/background" rel="nofollow">https://www.familytreedna.com/groups/u106/about/background</a><br /><br />Make sure too that you join the U106 group on Yahoo. You can join that whether or not you've tested at FTDNA.Debbie Kennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11573470282571579765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7238849140976286627.post-84857120986144021322017-03-01T19:55:22.304+00:002017-03-01T19:55:22.304+00:00The reason I asked was because that Fatherline % i...The reason I asked was because that Fatherline % is identical in every way to my one.

See my blog post here and the various links on that page:<br /><br /><a href="https://cruwys.blogspot.co.uk/2015/05/comparing-admixture-results-from.html" rel="nofollow">https://cruwys.blogspot.co.uk/2015/05/comparing-admixture-results-from.html</a><br /><br />Essentially each company has different reference populations. You can only be matched with populations that are in the dataset. Your Italian ancestry is just being reported in different ways. At FTDNA it's subsumed into Middle Eastern, North African, Asia Minor and Western and Central Europe. At Ancestry it's includes in the Italian/Greek percentages.<br /><br />Living DNA can provide breakdowns between southern and northern Italy. However, the main purpose of doing these tests is for the genealogy matches rather than the admixture percentages.Debbie Kennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11573470282571579765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7238849140976286627.post-33056197485765261312017-02-28T22:08:03.783+00:002017-02-28T22:08:03.783+00:00PS: I'm haplo group H of course.PS: I'm haplo group H of course.Cybele Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10435712093763524754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7238849140976286627.post-31343738252572555472017-02-28T22:07:29.273+00:002017-02-28T22:07:29.273+00:00I am totally confused with the different results I...I am totally confused with the different results I got with Family Tree and Ancestry.<br />Family tree gave me 46% western and cntral european 30% British Isles and 24% middle Eastern (22% Asia minor and 2% North African).<br /><br />Ancestry made more sense with what I already knew about family some of whom still live in regions that came up! 14% western europe, 21% Britain ( mother from Scotland) and 12% Irish (knew about that too) 2%Scandinavian(not surprising on Isle of Skye and elsewhere)- and here is the big one- 48% Italian/Greek (Father's family southern Italy) with 2% Asia Minor!! Big difference and I don't know what to think! Even the 2% North Africa of Familytree might make sense considering location but no mention in Family Tree of Italian at all and I know Southern Italians often have different DNA from the North (hence Italian/Greek). I'm so confused I wonder if I should test again and with another company- just not sure which one!<br />(PS I posted this on a very old post of yours and under a different email profile (hana mcmoon) so ignore that)Cybele Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10435712093763524754noreply@blogger.com
