Hi All,
Just curious if someone with more experience than me could help me interpret my DNA results. I have completed my family tree 7 generations from me (actually 15 in one lineage) and haven't found any non-Italian ancestors yet. My father got Europe South 61% (Northern and Southern Italy), Great Britain 16%, and Caucasus 6%, while my mother got Europe South 68% (Southern Italy), Middle East 13%, and Caucasus 9%. I read that Southern Italy had a good bit of admixture of genes due to invasions, migration, etc. I may continue to work on my tree to try to see if I can find my ancestors that originated outside of Italy if possible. Any other insights or inferences?
My results:
Europe South 72%
Southern Italy
Caucasus 11%
Great Britain 8%
Low Confidence Regions:
European Jewish 2%
Iberian Peninsula 2%
Africa North 2%
Middle East <1%
Europe East <1%
Europe West <1%
Ireland/Scotland/Wales <1%

Totally normal and to be expected, I would say, from what I have read. Not too dissimilar from my results and I also do not have any non-Italian ancestors at least going back 6-7 generations.
