I received my results about 2 wks ago!. There is no way you can determine what comes from your father and what comes from your mother!.
Since Autosomal is your genetic pattern, I sent them a question, if my sister with which I share both parents, had the same tests would it be the same as mine!. I was told there would be differences and similarities!.
Now, there is something interesting!. My highest MLI was Tuscany, followed by Greece 3 times and then Northern Ireland (my father had ancestors from Clare, Cork and what is now Northern Ireland and some of my maternal grandmother's ancestry was Northern Irish!. Spain was in the first 20 a number of times!. Poland was twice!. France was in their once!. It was from Lille France!. Veneto Italy and Lombardia was in the first 20 as well as Strathclyde Scotland!. Serbia Montenegro was in the first 20 also!. Glasgow,Scotland, was once as well as Bosnia, Istanbul, Turkey,
I found out Tuscany and Greece was high on my father's which was done several years ago!. also for a nun from Ireland who is a distant cousin!.
What we all share is an ancestor who married one of our Irish ancestors who was mostly Italian, Spanish and Austrian!. Apparently that one ancestor had a very strong gene pool!. Her Italian ancestors began in Florence a long time ago!. Florence is in Tuscany!.
Now in my paternal grandfather's line there is one ancestor, a gandmother of one of my great great great grandmother's was suppose to be a Talliaferro!. These people came to the colonial South and there weren't many chances to marry Italians!. I believe most people today with that name are more Italian in name only!.
My maternal grandmother's gene pool apparently wasn't so strong!. She was mostly English!. London England was 58 in my Extended Match Results!. She apparently did contribute to my high Northern Ireland result(along with my paternal grandfather) and perhaps to Lille, France as she had a Huguenot ancestor that came to the U!.S!. about 1700!. His gene pool was probably strong!.
One result that was high in one of the groups was Morocco(Belgium)!. I asked about this and was told it was the Moroccan population in Belgium!. Morocco is about 5 miles across the Strait of Gibraltar from Spain!. The Moors dominated Spain and it is felt that the people of Andalusia are more closely related to the Moroccans than people of the rest of Spain!.
My World Region Map has the following
Aegean
Mediterranean
Northwest European
North African
Eastern European
Levantine
This is suppose to be what I am mostly!. However, a genealogy with documentation might not come out that way!. That is because no people are pure!. We are really just one big human race!. People within any one race or ethnicity are frequently more related to someone in another than they are to those within their own!.
The History of the Irish Race by Seumas MacManus stated the Celts that went to Ireland were in Spain for some time and then went to Egypt and were there 100 years!. He stated they went north to Ireland and some later went to Scotland!.
A nun(a relative) wanted to know how to identify a person when she was going to a meeting!. She knew I had seen him!. My way of describing him was his hair was red Irish wool!. Some Irish have that!. A woman of Syrian descent in her office, laughted and said they got that by being in the land of Egypt for 100 years ago!.
