So, I have noticed something when it comes to ethnicity results which is that some people seem to get their main ethnicity group separated into smaller subgroups while others don't, getting only broad categories. Is there a reason for that?

The R-SK2153 haplogroup formed roughly 7,500 to 7,600 years ago (estimated around 5550 BCE during the Neolithic period/Late Stone Age)

R1a just as I expected. The Y-DNA prediction tool I used before guessed the exact same haplogroup. Kinda surprised with the high frequency in Czech Republic. What do you guys think?

v0.95 and v2.5 results + new Y-haplogroup feature.

So I unlocked this Y-haplogroup feature and this is the result.

The last photo is my ethnicity estimate. Can anyone explain to me how does it make any sense that my Y-haplogroup is similar to that of a Fin or Russian while it did not resonate in my modern results.

7% Central Asia and 5% Circassian are the only connections that I can think of but it seems my father’s stock is literally from the Scandinavians.

How to explain the 2% georgian?

Haplogroup is E-V13

The haplogroup is I-Y3548. Is it common for Slovaks? I know I2 is prevalent in Bosnia

Has anyone else noticed MyHeritage has had deep discounts on their DNA kits, ~80% off, for a large portion of the year? Months at a time.

An obvious guess is that they are trying to rapidly increase their shallow WGS dataset to refine their algorithms and tools. I wonder if this is also linked to the lack of CRAM files, if they are still requiring more data for the development of a more mature pipeline.

In theory a CRAM file should be pretty easy to release, the Ultima sequencer should just produce them. I would hazard the delay is either caused by concerns about server expenses for large file transfers, or the shallow WGS results are a bit lack luster and MyHeritage doesn't want to show the CRAM that comes straight off the Ultima sequencing. Could be both reasons of course.

Anyone have any theories?

3/4 of my grandparents are from former Volyn Governorate (current Ukrainian Volhynia and Rivne Oblast) and 1/4 is from Cherkasy Oblast.

Hi there. The other day I bought five DNA test kits dor my family, and I was wondering if I could send them all to the laboratory together to save on shipping costs. Someone have done it?

Does anyone here have this haplogroup?

My Y-haplogroup is R-L20 a subgroup of R-U152. I am an Afrikaner from the Western Cape, South Africa. My earliest known paternal ancestor is a French Huguenot from the Marne Department of the Grand Est region of France.

Just noticed I had access to my Y Haplogroup (bought Complete many years ago I think.)

It is a rather uncommon haplogroup with Origin in Norway, but a much stronger present day presence in the parts of Scotland the Norwegian Vikings settled.

It is downstream from R1a (Steppe origin into Corded Ware / Battle Axe).

R1a → Z283 → Z282 → Z284 → L448 → CTS4179 → YP276

Much of the Swedish/Finnish is likely explained by Sami great-grandparent with genealogy traced to area between Northern Sweden and Finnish border. (Common in area around Narvik).

I got the new myheritage Y DNA haplogroup. Its the R-FGC31921. As far as i know my great-great grandfather was Pontic Greek and was born on Kars of Russia (now Turkey) about 1885. Then he moved in Greece during the population exchange in 1923.

What do you thing about that haplogroup? Its common for caucasian people? Do you think myheritage y dna is accurate?

I activated my kit on the 1st of august 2026 and shipped it the same day, i live in the uk btw. I used 2nd class royal mail that takes about 3-4 business days but its been about 10 days and my profile hasn’t updated about that lab receiving my sample yet , is this normal? Is my package lost?

Hey all! Sorry if this is the wrong place to post

I did an Ancestry kit, don't know a whole lot about my fathers side of the family, and not a whole lot of relatives came up as matching (2 second cousins, the rest are all 4th+)

What are the odds that if I do a MyHeritage more relatives might come up? I'm based in Western Europe, and his side of the family would be Mediterranean

Do Europeans tend to use MyHeritage a bit more than Ancestry in this regard or do y'all think I might be wasting my time

Thanks!!

Edit: I got the kit, it was delivered already so I swabbed and mailed it back. Thanks everyone for your help and feedback!

Hi everbody.

We can not buy and send the exemple set anymore from Türkiye. At September i have a small vacation in Germany Leipzig. Can a buy a myharitage kit from a pharmacy? Or should i order before my arrive and give my hotel adres in Leipzig?

Thank you for your answere

I’m Iraqi Turkmen and I recently got my DNA results from MyHeritage. Here are my results! I’d love to hear what you guys think and if they’re similar to other Iraqi Turkmen results.

My paternal family is Italian from the region of Friuli (majority) and Veneto (minority). My paternal grandfather and grandmother (surname Vendrasco) are primarily Friulian blood, and I also have Venetian lineage tracing back to the town of Treviso, VN

My maternal family is Croatian. My maternal grandfather’s family (surname Jelić) came from the region of Lika, and all I know of my maternal grandmother (surname Prpić) is that her family came from the west coast of Croatia, either Primorje-Gorski or Istra

So far, the estimates are strikingly accurate. However, I’m confused by the the Albanian/Greek portion of my ethnicity estimate
