I wouldn't put too much value on Euro-dna-calc results for anyone who's been analyzed in the Dodecad Project<br />2. ζαφείρης is from sapphire, and it's a common practice to use names of precious stones in names (e.g., Διαμάντω, Ζαφείρω, Ζμαράγδω, κτλ. see here:<br /><br />http://greeksurnames.blogspot.com/2010/02/blog-post_8419.html<br />3. We need more Greeks to join the project, because if one component seems elevated, that does not necessarily mean a recent non-Greek ancestor. For example, if someone has a Greek Cypriot ancestor he may have elevated SW Asian and reduced N Euro components. But what happens if one has a North Epirote ancestor? A Pontian ancestor? A Greek from Eastern Rumelia, or a Cappadocian, or an Aegyptiote Greek?<br /><br />The sample of 10 Greeks does not allow us to say anything about regional variation among Greeks at this point.Dienekeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02082684850093948970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6533996127304587865.post-68480335233223220082010-12-01T01:28:59.184+02:002010-12-01T01:28:59.184+02:00Would your clusters galore be sensitive enough to ...Would your clusters galore be sensitive enough to tell me whether my EuroDNACalc result is due to recent non-Greek admixture? I'm trying to determine whether my 7% AJ score is from a g-g-grandparent with the surname root of ζαφειρι. My NW component seems elevated (28%), too.Auditor George Danoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15451291978096556616noreply@blogger.com
