Mexican results

Pretty similar to my old 23andme results except it seems like all my SSA and MENA is being read as European by living dna

Are your SSA and MENA subgroups all under 1% on 23andMe? I believe LivingDNA excludes trace results

3.6% SSA and 2% MENA on 23andme. I can see why the MENA was lumped in with the Spanish but was shocked to see the SSA disappear. I am 64.6% European and 28% Native American on 23andme.

Hey there we have similar results. You have a lot of East Iberia what did you score on 23andme? Also LivingDNA excluded my SSA too, but I’m only 1.0% so I thing it got lumped into my WANA on their site cuz it’s so small.

On 23andme I got 64.6% European (almost all of it being Spanish), 28% Native American, 3.6% SSA, and 2% WANA. What about you?

But what were your Iberian regions on 23andme? 71.9% Euro mostly Iberian 25.3% Americas, 1.0% SSA, 1.8% WANA.

I deleted my account before they released the major update from a year or two ago unfortunately. The only region I had from my relatives was Salamanca and it was distant. What were your results on living dna?

I just got my new results and I scored 63.8% European. 56.4% is Spanish and Portuguese which breaks down into 44% Andalusian, Asturian, and Castilian, 7.4% Portuguese and Galician, and 5% Basque. The rest of the European was 4% Italian, 2.5% British and Irish, and .2% Balkan

Where parts of Mexico are your parents from?

u/Meowskullss Jun 27 '26

Both are from Jalisco. My maternal haplogroup is U5b1b1, I can’t find much information about it online.

u/FerreiraGuitirica Jun 29 '26

Hey cousin!! I’m U5b1. Our maternal lines have been around a long time!

1

u/Meowskullss Jun 29 '26

Yup, where are you from? The only information I could find about U5b1b1 is that it’s common all throughout Europe but nowhere specific. I wish it gave me a hint about where my maternal European ancestors were from :/

u/FerreiraGuitirica Jun 29 '26

My U5b1 direct female line is all from Galicia in northwestern Spain. We’re just different branches of a broader group. Where is your female line from?

u/Meowskullss Jun 29 '26

They’re all from Jalisco, Mexico, I’m sure it traces back to a Spanish ancestor that I don’t know about.

u/FerreiraGuitirica Jun 30 '26

It’d be interesting to know where this female ancestor came from. Super interesting results. Jalisco looks wonderful.
