Soprano76 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Anyone get one of these tests? I got mine done through Ancestry. Their most recent update puts me at 77% Greece/Albania and 23% Balkans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brklyngrk Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 I did - actually kind of did two. Since I have a twin, my brother did Ancestry and I decided to do 23andme to compare. The results were actually comparable to one another. Initially, I was 43% Southern Italian and 34% Greek/Balkan, the rest was generally southern European. Now the Greek/Italian aspect switched but the rest stayed the same. When you click on Greek & Balkan, it shows you it is Greece, at least for me, specifically Peloponneso.

pash Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Out of curiosity, did it have the breakdown within Greece before? A Turkish friend of mine bought his dad an Ancestry.com kit a year ago and actually told me a few months ago that over the preceding 18 months or so, they've gone from just calling some percentage of him generically "southern italian/greek" to specifying balkans (but as far as I know no deeper). And the rest Turkish of course. Thought it was interesting that you show they had some confidence on the specific part of a specific country.

Brklyngrk Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 23andme shows you the parts of Greece/Balkans is the strongest and the majority is in Peloponneso. I can take a picture if helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
