Eurogenes Jtest calculator

[Aoda]

I don't know about the Balkan, but it sure is interesting. 10% is significant, especially coming from 23andme, which is considered as the most reliable among the "big" DNA test companies. If those 10% had come from MyHeritage, I'd have told you right away to discard it (they give me around 30% Balkan, which is nonsense). I hope your 23andme DNA matches provide a clue regarding some (distant?) Balkan ancestry.
I guess it's possible that you might have distant Jewish admixture coming from ex-Jewish ancestors who converted to Protestantism in France.
I'm in France, and of French (50%) and South Italian (50%) descent.

Sorry, I was not clear, my Gedmatch info comes from transferring in my 23andMe, my "Balkan" 10 percent was on MyHeritage. I think 23andme had me at pretty much all Celtic and French/Nordic.

No, *I* am sorry - I read your posts too quickly. In that case, any Balkan coming from MH - for someone who has no known Balkan ancestry - doesn't mean a thing. MH is know for being very unreliable in terms of ancestry composition.

So you're saying people should disregard MH entirely?

People will do what they will do. Personally, I disregard it. MH is only interesting for the matches (esp. if you're French).

Does anyone know why the Eurogenes JTest creator has not revised or removed the JTest from Gedmatch? He was on record several years back as saying that it was not reliable, although I did not see the specifics behind his conclusion.

Can someone please help me explain my results?

25.95% - Ashkenazim
21.3% - East Med
7.95% - West Med
6.1% - West Asian
6.2% - Middle Eastern
9.1%- Atlantic
9.5% - North-Central Europe
4.5% East Europe
1.9% Siberian
7.6% South Baltic

P.s. On 23andMe my results were 84% Ashkenazi Jewish and the rest mostly North-Western and Central Europe.

Thanks

On this calculator, full Ashkenazi usually get around 30%, so your results are consistent with your origins.

Ah okay I see thanks - does that mean I still have around 20% East Med for example or is that part of the Ashkenazi origins/just an error?

Ashkenazi do get significant percentages of East Med, so that's consistent too.
