DNAPrint: BioGeographical Ancestry (BGA) Test Results for Brett Strobel

(www.roperld.com)

The BGA test determines the probable fractions of one's ancestry that are Indo-European (European, Middle Eastern and South Asian), Native American (South and North American), sub-Saharan African (all African countries but Algeria, Chad, Egypt, Morocco, Sudan and Tunisia) and East Asian (Japanese, Chinese, Korean and South Pacific).

Brett Strobel's results:
Ancestry Estimate
Indo-European 83%
East-Asian 17%
Native-American 0%

The first contour (black line) around your BGA result delimits the space outside of which the points are 2 times less likely, and the second contour (blue line) delimits the space outside of which the estimates are 5 times less likely. The third contour (yellow line) delimits the space outside of which the estimates are 10 times less likely than your result.
Brett Strobel's comments about these results: These are rather surprising results. I live in South Central Ohio. My family has lived in this vicinity since approximately 1795 (Frontier Border Wars). Both lines, that is, my father and mothers ancestors lived in close proximity. I actually expected native ancestry since my great-grandmother and my 3rd great-grandmother were Native Americans of at least 1/2 blood. They were Shawnee and Wyandotte according to our family bible. (I have pictures of them in native dress.) Additionally, I have found Chippewa on my fathers side, albeit, much further back in the line (Approx 1780). All of my native ancestors were female.
Comments of L. David Roper: I am also 17% East Asian and I have family traditions of Native American ancestry, but not hard evidence such as Brett Strobel has. I think that some Native American ancestry is testing as East Asian, which is not terribly surprising since there may have been at least two migrations of Asians into America.
A Genotype is the actual building block at one location on your DNA. For instance if, at a certain location, you inherited an 'A' from your mother and a 'C' from your father, your genotype would be 'AC' for that location. (The DNAPrint results do not distinguish paternal-maternal order; i.e., it could be AC or CA.) There are approximately 3,000,000,000 building blocks (base pairs) in the human genome, however only 0.1% of these building blocks are variable from person to person. The BGA test measures the specific genotype at 70 highly informative deep ancestral locations. Genotypes:

There is some slight variation from run to run on how well the analysis works. Some markers do not yield a result (XX). Because of this sometimes a marker is judged failed (FL) during the quality control step. Omitted XX and FL markers are not used in the percentage calculation.
