This is a fantastic article and commentary! The same phenomena or search for jewish ancestory is occuring the Spanish speaking community. If the database is not substantial enough and it does not support the currect percentages such as Anatolian..Or tests for mediterranean or neolithic origins or in the case of Larry David who took a dna test on George Lopez show his test results returned with a huge native american percentage. Now reading that this has occured before with a person of Jewish descent could it be logical to think that the opposite effect is occuring in the Spanish Speaking community? In other words Native American results are coming up as positives for Jewish ancestory?

okay..so I saw a video in my class today that aired in 2005 on PBS…I am of mixed heritage and no one has been able to fully tell me my history…I from family know that i am black, german, irish, native american,as well as either basque or hispanic, I would like an autosomal test to try and clarify just how much of each, but seems that not good for those of mixed heritage??? Should I invest the money to find out, and if so, does anyone have any good reccomendations to sites I may be able to order from? Thanks in advance.

just want to add a thanks to RP..i’m of very mixed ancestry, so that could explain alot…also i want to send a shout out to Tunisia which was a hit for me also, along with Arab (frm Israel) and Portuguese….my grandmother’s parents were both from Norway, and northern Europe didn’t even score with the exception of a tiny bit of Finno-Ugric. so either my grandma’s have been lying big time and traveling way more widely than i’d been led to believe (which would actually be really cool:) or the tests can be confusing for people of very mixed ancestry and that we’re all so much more closely related and widely traveled than anachronistic, simplistic concepts of political geography and insular ethnicity would cover…it’s weird. in a way this whole process has made me feel simlultaneously more alienated and more interconnected

???all my ancestors i’ve been able to track and family stories are about french canadian, irish, norwegian, and bohemian ancestors–if i didn’t look so much like my mom and have my brother’s ornery nature i would think i was adopted and nobody bothered to tell me. thanks again for some help and clarity

I have signed up to take the autosomal test Euro DNA through Genetic Testing Laboratories, but I have since found alot of the discussions about the inaccuracies in these autosomal tests. I aleady know that my line is European, but I thought the test would be interesting. Now I am concerned that I have wasted my money. I just wonder whether I should take the results in any serious light.
