Are they representative of your actual ancestry? Do you have a notation above your results about Ashkenazi endogamous populations? If you don't have that and none of your matches are reflective of Greek and Jewish ancestry I'd say there are two Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00120794007899168522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203799819583211238.post-1893461433979719272011-08-18T19:54:05.981-04:002011-08-18T19:54:05.981-04:00Very interesting.

My actual genetic background is E-V13 (Greek) and English/Norse on my paternal side and Separdic/Ashkenazi on my maternal side. Any thoughts? Looks like FTDNA messed up to me!

I simply have a background in genetics and try to educate on these tests.<br /><br />Though, perhaps you've been misled but there is a reason they call them speculative matches as 4th-distant or 5th-distant.

I was led to believe that this test could tell if someone was a 3rd or a 4th or a 5th cousin. So I invested huge amoungs of time and raised $2400 from genealogists all interested in some unasnwered questions about Richard McMurtryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16513481315220293217noreply@blogger.com
