Olá Sergio. Tudo bem? My brother just got his results back and I thought I'd share them here. So, my family is from São Jorge. I was born there. Both my parents are from SJ, going all the way back to the 1400s. There are some interesting differences between your results and my brother's. Here are his deets: EUROPE - 90.2%. Iberia: 42.3%. North West Europe: 40.9%. East Europe - Balkans: 4.0%. Ashkenazi Jewish: 3.0%. AFRICA - 8.3%. North Africa: 6.4%. West Africa - Nigeria: 1.9% MIDDLE EAST - 1.5%. The Iberia and North West Europe numbers make total sense, as we are direct descendants of Willem Van Der Haagen, one of the early Flemish settlers of the Azores. I have blue eyes and blondish hair which is common on São Jorge. My brother looks much more typically Portuguese than I do, with brown eyes and dark hair. I was expecting a bit of British Isles, some Italy/Greece, and maybe some Scandinavian. He got none of that. Also surprising were the Balkan, Ashkenazi Jewish and Nigerian bits thrown in there. Um abraço from Canada. Cheers!

[@Ogeroigres]

Hi TagusMan, thanks for your message and for sharing your brother's results. Those were very interesting results. I've noticed that a lot recent MyHeritage tests show 1% Nigerian for a lot of people, even for Asian people, which is odd. I look quite Mediterranean (dark hair and tan easily) but at the same time I have greenish brown eyes and ginger beard.

[@Ogeroigres]

Depends. My brothers uploaded their raw dna to gedmatch and other sites and Subsaharan is nowhere to be seen.

[@afaria6173]

Olá TagusMan, I don't take these percentages literally they still have to improve the algorithm and increase the reference populations before this is more reliable but anyway I'm your neighbor from PIco island and these are my results for comparison. EUROPE- 91.3% Iberia 52.7%, Sardinian 17.9%, Greek 0.9%, Scandinavian 18.6%, Finnish 1.6% AFRICA 7.0%, North Africa 7.0%, MIDDLE EASTERN 1.7%. The Sardinian for sure doesn't make any since it's an old Iberian component the Bronze Portuguese were most similar to the Sardinians. So mine should be 70.6% Iberian by adding in the Sardinian.

[@md.md16]

You got some nice results 😊 💜

[@Item1948]

you are very beautiful ☺️💙

[@afaria6173]

Sergio here's another one for comparison! I was born in the Azores (Pico island) Iberian - 52.7% Sardinian - 17.5%(this doesn't make sense it's a very ancient component shared with Sardinians) Greek 0.9% Scandinavian 18.6% Finnish 1.6% North African 7% Middle Eastern 1.7%

[@Ogeroigres]

Quite different from mine! Sardinian seems to be the 5th most common DNA in Portugal, according to MyHeritage. I have none of it but my father has it.

[@afaria6173]

It's expected to be somewhat different the two islands received different proportions from the various regions of Portugal in the mid 1400's - early 1500's. The bulk of my autosomal matches with mainlanders are Porto region and Galicia Spain then central Portugal(mostly the coastal strip between Porto and Lisbon but it goes inland to Coimbra and then there are clusters of matches in Lisbon and strangely Seville Spain. I found individual matches peppered along all the major roads connecting the larger cities but that is where the clusters of matches were located. The central islands also received a minor contribution from east Flanders that over the centuries spread over the archipelago.

[@theriifeno1683]

[@AnaStella]

What? Probably because North Africans were in Spain for 9 centuries? I guess that makes more sense.

[@youssefreggani7478]

Ana Stella Nope, you see so much times that riffians have more iberian DNA than any other moroccan, this can be caused by the Spanish Rule over the Rif in the 20th century, or by the Moroccans expelled by spainiards after the fall of Granada, but they mainly live in an other region than the Rif, but its very nearby the Rif, so idk.

[@AnaStella]

Mohammed Al Zafi well if they have so much they are partly Spanish and it means they mixed a lot not just by a rape. And they weren't forced to have children with Spanish. I don't know why one always have to think that their ancestors were forced to do something. Mostly when one has so much percentage of it.

[@youssefreggani7478]

Jon T Ehmmm, we still have our language (I speak it) our religion was nothing anyway, we converted into Islam because we thought it was the right religion and it is, no force was used buddy, the spanish did to convert the spanish Muslims into Christianity.

[@youssefreggani7478]

Jon T My name is Islamic not Arab, secondly I don't hate Arabs and I don't like them in particular, the Arabs didn't use force against the people of North Africa to have them converting to Islam, they mainly used force for military conquest, which happens always, so the basic victims of force were soldiers, and if we converted by force we wouldn't be Islamic now, you always see if a nation is converted by force, that they pretend like they converted but they really didn't, and if the forcing nation departs, the "converted" people say they really aren't, look at the balkan region, the ottomans used so much force to convert the people, only a small portion did, and look what happened to them in the yugoslavian civil war.....

Hi Christopher, thanks for your comment. I'm from São Miguel, just like your grandfather. I have to admit that my results surprised me a little bit, I was expecting something different (perhaps a bit of Italian, most Portuguese have a certain percentage of Italian DNA; and also perhaps a bit of Jewish since many Jewish families settled on São Miguel many centuries ago).

[@michaelobrian7116]

Good results. Typical São Miguel Results. The North African Berber component reaches its peak in the Azores on that island due to the Moorish slaves brought to work on the Pineapple, Sugar and tea plantations not to mention people from the Alentejo and Algarve (Southern provinces) mostly farmers settled on the island. The islands of the Western part are mostly Northern Portuguese and small Flemish groups. Thanks for posting just wish more Portuguese would. I’m half Azorean and half Scottish.

[@TagusMan]

Olá Richard. I just posted my brother's results in the comments section of this video. You may want to check them out. My family is from São Jorge, and my brother's results were somewhat different from that of people from São Miguel. We have a good idea where our North West Europe genes come from. We're direct descendants of Willem Van Der Haagen, a Flemish settler from the 1400s. However, we know a lot less about our Portuguese/Iberian ancestors on SJ. What are the chances you have some info about São Jorge ancestry that could help us out? Cheers from Canada!

[@michaelobrian7116]

TagusMan your high north western European component is because the island your ancestors come from were settled by northern Portuguese folk from the Tras-os-montes region and possibly Flemish extraction. São Miguel is the central hub of the Azores and is where the pineapple and sugarcane plantations were where north African Moores from the time of the Reconquista Labor and overtime the intermingled with the Portuguese on that island hence why they get really high Iberian scores and higher than average North African scores not to mention the island if São Miguel was settled by Algarvians and people from alentejo and western Andalusia Also looking at the paternal Haplogroups the island of Sao Miguel has high averages of E, J and G which are all neolithic middle eastern haplogroups and many maternal lineage from that island happened to be of European descent like U and H Sao Jorge peaks in R1B and I1 which are western European and Scandinavian Upload your kit to GED match Should help tons

[@TagusMan]

Thanks Richard. We're definitely Flemish, but it appears we're less Flemish than originally thought. My cousin also did hers and she came back as 40% more Iberian than my brother. He was 42%. She was 82%. Then my brother uploaded his numbers and things changed quite a bit. Turns out, my cousin is only 20% more Iberian, which is only half as much but still a lot, and it turns out we've got British Isles in the mix as well, about 9%. Why such a big difference between the different sites? Seems like the science isn't 100% scientific yet.

[@michaelobrian7116]

TagusMan Joseph and Henry Bullar were to British men who spent nearly an entire year living in the Azores from 1838-39. While they were misinformed about the settlement history of the islands, they wrote their experiences in as much of an honest an non-biased way as they possibly could for the time. Here are their descriptions of Azoreans: "There is a difference between the physiognomy of the natives of each island in the group, even more apparent than that which may be noticed between the inhabitants of separate districts." "They are handsomer and more graceful than the Portuguese. But although the island is small, and peasants have a general cast of features which characterizes them, the difference of physiognomy in different parts of the island is so great, that a special character of face may be said to belong to almost every town. Some of the finest and most strikingly marked faces I have seen were from the neighboring town of Allagoa." Corvo Women "We were struck in our walk with the large number of handsome women and children, whose style of beauty was entirely different from that of the women of St. Michael’s. Their features were very regular; their noses thin, prominent, and sometimes finely cut; their upper lips short and slightly turned outwards, the under lip exactly matching it, and the whole mouth of good size and perfectly regular; the line of the junction of lips slightly curled upwards, the cheek-bones rather prominent, and the face long, and somewhat triangular. The eyes of many were grey, and light hazel." Corvo Men "The faces of both are more regular than those of the St. Michael’s peasants: there is less mouth, the jaw-bones do not project, and the cheek-bones, though rather prominent, are not large, and the face altogether is of smaller proportions." Sao Miguel "In St. Michael’s the women’s eyes are large and very black, and deeply set; neither the mouth or nose is regular, the mouth being very large, with full lips; the face short, with projecting cheek-bones; and the complexions more sallow. " Faial "The scene is in perfect harmony with the quiet serenity of their character; and, in walking through the village which stretches along the valley, I noticed many girls and children with blue eyes and flaxen hair." Flores "The people of this island are well-looking, and often handsome. In their black eyes, hair, and general shape of face, they resemble those of Corvo, Fayal, or Pico; but their complexions are lighter, and their faces more ruddy. The hair of the children is frequently flaxen, or dark brown." Pico "The physiognomy of the Pico people on this side of the island (the western) differs altogether from that of the other islanders I have seen. The prevailing expression of the women is mild and amiable: their faces are round, soft, and delicate, with light brown eyes and thick long black eye-lashes - the light eye and black eye-lash adding much to their mild expression. Their hair, which is generally brown, is drawn upwards from the forehead and fastened in a knot behind, so as to accommodate itself to their low-crowned straw hats, beneath which the knot projects."

[@michaelobrian7116]

TagusMan The commercial tester still a work in progress but I have improved over the past few years Phenotypically speaking there is diversity amongst each islands and my post that I just posted before were conducted by two British anthropologist can you can clearly see the difference between the islands most notably São Miguel which is uniformly Black haired and dark featured Being half Portuguese on my mother side I’ve always been interested in genetics i’ve seen North African scores on the island of Saint Michael reach up to 20%

A portuguese have in average around 20% to 25 % north africa in the DNA. i know a lot of cases racism against Portuguese people in the UK , France and Switzerland. I wish you a wonderful weekend , and please stop racism.
