What is today Turkey, as we know, was the three-thousand-year-old Greek Asia Minor with Ionia, Pontus and Constantinople. Thousands of cities founded by the ancient Greeks from the 8th century BC. with a Greek population, when the Turks were still in the Altai mountains. And don't be disoriented at all by the appearance of Italy, because all of Southern Italy and Sicily was the well-known Magna Grecia with a huge number of historic Greek cities. That's why it shows up so often in Turkish DNA tests. Only Greek origin also means S. Italy. Also, when you are generally and vaguely called Caucasus, it is good to understand Pontus and where they generally and vaguely call you Balkania, to understand that it is Greece from behind. The entire Mediterranean was the Greek world. From India and Iran to the Blue Coast, and from Egypt to Libya and Italy, it was nothing but the Greek world. That's why your genetic profile hangs around there''... What don't you understand?

test results are very prone to misunderstanding. In fact, Turkey Turks do not have many and varied ancestors in the last 1000 years. Before the Turks came from Central Asia, there were Anatolian Greeks in the western, northern, central and southern parts of current Turkey, while there were Armenians in the east. The genetic structure of the Turks of Turkey was formed by the mixing of the local elements of this geography with the Turks from Central Asia. the dominant element is local nations (70-80%). Even if there are small communities or familial mingling with different nationalities, this cannot reflect the generality of Turkey Turks.

Being half Turkish my DNA had a really high Italian percentage, altough looking at my family tree they were Anatolian farmers from a small village the last 200 years. I contacted the company and they agreed that it is likely that native Anatolian DNA can be confused with Italian DNA ( for example the Etruscans originate in Anatolia/Greece ).

[@MarkVrem]

Yup! Etruscan art is full of Lion-headed Chimeras, with Lions being extinct since 10,000BC on the Italian Peninsula. Greek/Anatolian art is full of Lion imagery. Romans, on the other hand, had a Wolf as their symbol, a native Italian animal. This is all before the Roman Empire which obviously included Anatolia for a very long time. After the Roman Empire, you had a deep Venetian relationship with the Ottomans. From Salt and other trade. To wars and prisoners. It's even possible Italians would serve with Greeks in the Ottoman Navies. Depending on pay or maybe a falling out with Italian authorities. There were even Genoan colonies in Crimea, which shared borders and trade again with the Ottoman territories in Ukraine. Obviously, all these ships would be stopping and passing through Constantinople/Instanbul all the time. If DNA is very high then there is also the Italian occupation of parts of Turkey from 1919 to 1922.

[@lewisacaroll2429]

The Greeks had city states in Anatolia for thousands of years. Greeks also founded city states in Italy. Then the Romans conquered and occupied it for a thousand years before they got kicked out.

You would not have “American” dna unless you are Native American. So it doesn’t matter what time.

[@ettinakitten5047]

@@godlychimp5134 I think that's what he meant. He doesn't get "American" because his ancestors immigrated to North America from somewhere else, and the DNA markers pick that up. Meanwhile, another person could have ancestors who've been in Turkey as long as his were in the US, but because their ancestors immigrated to Turkey from somewhere else, they don't register as Turkish.

[@Nehauon]

Basically, the tests go too far back

[@AutoReport1]

Turkey was the Roman empire. 1-2% is trace that could be the last relic of one Roman soldier from Italy 2000 years ago passed down. Similarly the Central and northern Asia could be what they have left of a Turkic ancestor. The majority is local - Caucasian and Anatolian and Persian. What he hasn't thought of is Iranian/Persian is probably Kurdish, which fits with his family history.

[@ChatrandomGuy]

Greek Empire, Byzantine = the new Rome, it means Rome fell and a new empire came out of this, what we call today Byzantine Empire, with Greek as official language

[@canturan4396]

Also the reason. Why almost all Turk who take the test show Italian or most correctly Rome area is when Turks enter Anatolia they defeat eastern Roman empire. After western Roman empire collapse most of Romans came to east and because of politics Kantakusenos family byzantine emperor see that western Romans a treat and send them north eastern Anatolia. My grandmother speaks romelika it's greco-romen language. And my DNA test show %18 Rome DNA not Italia. İnteresting right.

This couple is focusing too much on modern political borders, and they don't understand the history and migration of peoples from the last 2k years. His "Turkish" DNA from this site is essentially indigenous Anatolian/Caucus ancestry. His Asian DNA is his true Turkic ancestry. The Turkic migration began in North/Central-East Asia, and intermingled and Turkified many peoples, mainly Iranic peoples, for those that migrated toward Anatolia. His Italian ancestry is likely from Roman times or possibly an enslaved person from Ottoman times. At a minimum they need to read up on the Seljuk Empire, which at it's height covered or touched most of the the areas he is grouping with.

[@IvoTichelaar]

I agree, family trees are surprising. For many of my ancestral lineages, the trail goes cold around the 1550's, a time of upheaval and transition from catholic to Protestant in my country (the Netherlands). But some lineages go way back, because they were richer,.or noble, and then you see political marriages across Europe. The daughter of a Byzantine emperor was married off to a Germanic nobleman, a granddaughter of the English/Anglo-Saxon king Alfred the Great was married off to a Saxon nobleman. And in his ancestry, there is also Celtic ancestry from Wales, Scotland and Ireland. The Byzantine princess jad ancestry from the successor states of Alexander the Great's empire, all the way to Bactria. There is potential for some disparate dna in my future test. Or mostly Dutch.

[@Attabasca]

My dad's family came over from Greece and I am 25% Italian, then 14 % Greek, then 9% Cypriot and 2% Iranian. So he is right about the Turkey, Italy and Greece connection.

I'm a Turkish person with a stereotypically 'European' look, like light coloured eyes, super pale skin etc. My dad's side of the family all agrees we are *some* form of Balkan but we have no idea what exactly. Macedon I heard, Hungarian, Greece... And I can only trace my family to my great great grandparents, anything before the 1890s is a mystery to us. As someone who feels like the black sheep in his culture, I want to know what my ethnic background exactly is so that if there is a significant percentage of one thing I can learn about it. I don't know, this is a ramble.

[@w00tz4ibanez]

Me too!! Exactly haha. Well, you’re not alone at least 😂 This is actually why I decided to go through genetic testing, the intent to find a more scientific identity since I confuse people, as well as understand what my ancestors might have gone through (Balkan Turks as an example faced a lot of turmoil). I’m still waiting on my results but the more I learn about genetic testing & also history, the more I realize my results aren’t going to give me much identity connection other than tell me “congratulations you’re a melting pot!”.

The 47% Turkey and Caucasus is actually Anatolian Greek genes you could call. The name indicates region and not ethnic group of Turkic central Asians. Thus, Anatolian genes are common to Armenians and Georgians as well as it was shown on the map.

The part of Russia that's covered by 'Northern and Central Asia' is not referring to ethnic Russians, but to the indigenous Turkic and Mongolic peoples who live in the region, like the Yakut. When he states that he comes from Central Asia and Mongolia, he is referring to ethnic Turks, who, yes, came originally from Central Asia near Mongolia. The whole nation of Turks has that as their homeland, but as they migrated west, they picked up and intermingled with other people groups, so that Turks in Turkey today show a majority admixture from other peoples compare to other Turkic peoples still living in Central and Northern Asia. He's not making it up.

[@AA-ln4cb]

Eastern Turkey,the historic armenia, was predominantly Armenian. Armenians were subject to a genocide which resulted in 1,500,000 Armenians being massacred. The Majority of survivors converted to Islam and have been living as moslems or Kurds. Only a few small villages have maintained their Armenian population. There are many cases every year when a grandma or grandpa reveals their Armenian heritage and cause a huge identity crisis among the family members. Fear of massacre and persecution has created the term “hidden Armenians” in Turkey. Turkey has denied the genocide of Armenians in 1915 to this day.

[@odysseasntalias5950]

For turks who are skeptical about this kind of DNA results I give you a story. When thw sultan sold Cyprus to the British they organised a population census to define the islands demography. During the census about 15000 "turkish" cypriots declared that they were not indeed turks but violently islamised greeks , who practiced christian religion secretly for centuries. They had been called "linovamvakoi" a combined word from the words "lino=linen" and "vamvaki=cotton" , metaphorically meaning they had double face clothes= second hidden identity.... The rest of the turkish cypriots (the majority I mean ) were turkified greeks also , who lost their identity.... The same happened all over Turkey, especially in kappadokia and black sea. There are plenty historical articles for any mistrustful doubter .... The conclusions are yours but you have to be open-minded and critical to the turcocentric "education" they give you for decades through totally controlled education system and media....

He does look very Iranian. If his roots go back to Iran and eastern Turkey, I'm guessing maybe his roots are actually Kurdish, which like Persian are an Iranic speaking people and the Kurds have been living in that region for thousands of years before the first Turkic tribes arrived there from central Asia

As a Turk he should know the Roman Empire and the Greek Empires ruled Anatolia for (combined) thousands of years. Some peasant when the Turks migrated anywhere from 1000 years ago to recent times could've been an ancestor, probably a victim from some raid by Turkish cavalry.

[@toomanyopinions8353]

Hi Jarrett, What company/organization/service do you think would be best for me to test with regarding getting accurate admixture and the details of the admixture? It would also be good to see health results. Based on genealogy and some testing my parents did many years ago, I should show up as mostly European- should be roughly 1/4 Lemko, 1/16 Swedish, the rest is mostly Scottish and German. Also should be 1/16 Ashkenazi. Through my parents I have seen the DNA matches to other people so I am not as concerned about that. I just am curious to know what DNA I did or did not inherit from my parents, along with some health and trait stuff. Do you know what option would be best on figuring out the admixture of those ethnicities? Would be preferable that I could download the DNA data so that I could put it player like gedmatch.
