Doug, I got a surprisingly low 2% "Berber"-ish population. It was a surprise, after my 7% Middle Eastern, on Population Finder.
I think this Beta is a strong step in the right direction. According to the article that came out, today, it IS still in Beta, so I look forward to refinements. My wife's results are a little more surprising. Her Mom is Filipina, and her father American (Irish and German descent 50/50), yet her East Asian cluster area result is 52%. We think her Filipina mother has some Spanish in her (grandmother had a very square chin), so the East Asian would be less than 50%, but it's more. I want to have my parents tested, because I want to find out more about what percentages come from who, and to get 1 more generation of cousin matches. A lot of food for thought, and I like where it's headed. -Trevor Costa -----Original Message----- From: pico <p...@dholmes.com> To: azores <azores@googlegroups.com> Cc: Lionel Holmes <lionelholme...@gmail.com> Sent: Tue, May 6, 2014 9:45 pm Subject: RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: MyOrigins (Population Finder) is now available! My father also got a similar surprise - 1% East African Pastoralists which the map shows as Uganda, South Sudan, Kenya. I suppose it comes from a slave. We have one exposta from the late 1600s which might account for this mysterious DNA. And it was interesting to see he has 6% Middle Eastern in the area of the Berbers - North African Coastlands. So my own 4% Middle Eastern in the area of Eastern Afroasiatic which the map shows as Jordan and surroundings must be coming from my mother's side. I guess this is because of the Turkish invasions into Hungary through the Balkins, because my wife, 100% Slovak has 6% of this same DNA. And my father also has another big surprise - 1% East Asian and specifically Asian Northeast which the map has around Korea and Japan and into Russia. My guess is the 1% African and 1% Asian must come from a couple slave ancestors. Very fascinating.

There was a surprise 1% Nigeria-Congo Genesis. -Trevor Costa (VA/DC) -----Original Message----- From: Herb <herbandj...@verizon.net> To: azores <azores@googlegroups.com> Sent: Tue, May 6, 2014 6:41 pm Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: MyOrigins (Population Finder) is now available! Cheri how far back do these results go 200,500, maybe 1,000 years or 2,000. Do they know? Which ethnicities are recent? How recent? Which are the most distant? Do we really know more now?
