Please be careful with those tests. They often keep the rights to do what they want with your DNA results. Who knows if they will sell it to health insurance agencies to scan you for inherited diseases or something.

[-]

Orthodox-Paradox@reddit

As else someone said, you actually give them for free the right to study your DNA. If you search it a little further (conspiracy warning) you will see that many of those companies have ties with insurance companies or multinational corporatios. It is believed (based on some vague comments in the past WEFs) that companies want within the latter half of the century to be aware of our predesposition to disease in order to adjust premiums and manage hiring processes and terminations.

I know it sounds dystopic and far fetched, but honestly, in order to save a few bucks I wouldnt put it past multinational companies.

[-]

FloppyDiskDrives@reddit

100% credible. I thought it was just a gimmick until I downloaded my raw data. I ended up finding a direct Y-DNA link to the Hunyadi royal family after scientists sequenced their bones a couple of years ago. It completely validated my family's oral history and migration path. Do it, but definitely learn how to download and use your raw data file, that's where the actual science is.

My next step is to do a deeper paternal analysis to see exactly how far apart I am with the famous “Turk Buster”, the legend of Christendom, John Hunyadi (my great x30 cuz). 💪

[-]

ThickCaterpillar9867@reddit

John Hunyadi had ev13 y haplogroup ,pretty common in the balkans.

[-]

FloppyDiskDrives@reddit

For sure… E-V13 is the classic Paleo-Balkan signature.

But the fun part is the downstream terminal SNPs. The scientists sequenced his grandson's bones all the way down to a specific branch, and my raw data matched the E-Y7168 subclade. So the exact node where the Corvinus line branches off. Deep testing is wild when it gets past the broad categories.

[-]

ThickCaterpillar9867@reddit

I do not think that is possible the specific subclade formed like 2000 years ago and there are a lot of individuals carrying that subclade

[-]

FloppyDiskDrives@reddit

Look buddy I did my research on this over the past month, don’t shit on my parade. Haha joking joking.

You're thinking of the older parent branches. The specific 'Hunyadi cluster' node (E-Y7168) is actually much younger. The calculated TMRCA (Time to Most Recent Common Ancestor) for this exact split is mathematically dated by YFull and FTDNA to roughly 1200 years ago, right around the 8th/9th century. So it genuinely is an Early Medieval connection, not an ancient Roman one.

See for yourself: https://discover.familytreedna.com/y-dna/E-BY211533/tree

[-]

ThickCaterpillar9867@reddit

Idk but based on the Graph it looks like the split occurred 2200-1800 years ago

[-]

FloppyDiskDrives@reddit

Haha no worries, those FTDNA graphs are honestly a maze to read at first glance. You are totally right that the root node at the very top of the screen is from the Roman era (around 300 CE). But if you follow the blue line down to the specific node where the Hunyadi family (E-COR1) actually splits from the rest of the Balkan group, that happens at node E-FTC11923. If you trace a straight line from that split up to the timeline at the top, it lands right around 800-900 CE. So we are both right.. the broader branch is ancient, but this specific family split is medieval.

[-]

ThickCaterpillar9867@reddit

The e-cor1 of Hunyadi happens after 1000 ce but I meant the subclade itself is way older ,that means your y branch is either a direct descendant or you both share the same ancestor

[-]

FloppyDiskDrives@reddit

Exactly, a shared common ancestor. We both descend from the exact same grandfather around 800 CE. I'm actually thinking of coughing up 300 euros for a deep Y-scan soon so I can get even more precise and find closer relations.

[-]

ThickCaterpillar9867@reddit

Yeah but be careful what you wish ,there are like 1500 Albanians carrying that exact subclade🤣🤣🤣(kidding)

[-]

just_anotjer_anon@reddit

[-]

FloppyDiskDrives@reddit

Hahahahahahahahahahaahhahaha 💀

[-]

Archaeopteryx111@reddit

Yes, that’s because John Hunyadi was a magyarized Wallachian.

[-]

ThickCaterpillar9867@reddit

????

[-]

Archaeopteryx111@reddit

I’m saying he was a Balkan person from a Wallachian noble family, so it makes sense he has Balkan haplogroups.

[-]

ThickCaterpillar9867@reddit

Frankly speaking ,modern Hungarians carry around 10% of ev13 while modern Romanians around 15% ,kinda close

[-]

Archaeopteryx111@reddit

John Hunyadi was a magyarized Wallachian.

[-]

FloppyDiskDrives@reddit

Vlad was an absolute legend too when it comes to Turk busting. As for Hunyadi, the Romanian vs Hungarian debate was actually just settled by genetics in 2022.

They sequenced the Corvinus bones and found his direct paternal line (which my own DNA matched) originated in the Dinaric Alps of Herzegovina/Montenegro. His ancestors migrated north into Wallachia, which is why Hungarian records called his grandfather 'Serbe'. I understand this might trigger a debate lol. So technically our ancestors were Dinaric highlanders.

[-]

Archaeopteryx111@reddit

Oh interesting! I didn’t know that. I just know that there is pretty strong evidence that he was from a Wallachian noble family, so that’s why both Romanians and Hungarians claim him. Everyone is mixed in the end in our region.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Hunyadi

[-]

FloppyDiskDrives@reddit

Exactly! That's the beauty of Balkan history. The Wallachian nobility aspect is totally real, which is why Romanians, Hungarians, and Serbs all have a legitimate claim to his legacy. He's actually a huge figure in Serbian epic poetry (we call him Sibinjanin Janko), and he had deep ties to our medieval rulers like Stefan Lazarević. Like you said, we are all mixed at the end of the day, and he is the ultimate shared legend for all of us.

Voldypants_420@reddit

For me it was quite accurate. I took the one from Myheritage and I already knew that I'm 50% Macedonian (Greek), 25% Bosnian and 25% Turkish from my parents and grandparents.

It was not just super accurate but it also found some of my relatives living in Turkey, Greece and Germany who also took the test.

[-]

New_Lab1831@reddit

Yes, they are. Not deterministically so, but essentially: they take a part of your genome, extrapolate what the rest of it looks like off of that little part, and then plot it onto a larger genetic database to see the genetic distance you have to various other users/costumers.

Once you get the results from any of the big services, you can then request the raw data and play around with it yourself, seeing how your genetic data compares to that of ancient populations' DNA samples etc.

It's not going to give you definitive answers, but it's going to give you significant clues as to family history and regions your ancestors were active in.

[-]

5cozi@reddit

I took one on ancestry when I was in the uk with the details of a portuguese flatmate, we wanted to test them out and it turned out romanian and balkan, so they are pretty accurate

[-]

New_Lab1831@reddit

yep, exactly, they are. for me personally, it guessed my predominantly non-Romanian heritage as well (Slavic- Carpathic Ukrainian/Rusyn, and Polish)

They are surprisingly accurate for the last couple generations. I have done one and tracked everything in the Balkans, Greece, Georgia from my Mom/Dad that we knew already. It even showed me distant cousins that already took the test that I didn’t know (they live outside of Turkey I don’t really have a relationship with them but I know their names).

Any Turk who does a DNA test however must be prepared with the soup of ethnicities that make up our country/region. Because ethnicity isn’t tied to Nationality we are all Turks but when you look at ethnicities because of our history everybody is a mix of like 5 countries.
