2005 Entries into Kerchner's DNAPrint Test Results Loglater waves of migrations from Asia to the Americas, which might show up on the test as "EastAsian", but is really a later migratory wave, like the Na-Dene peoples such as the Navajo andApache. It’s possible that the 21% East Asian in my Grandmother could be evidence of Navajo orApache admixture with the Pueblo. Also interesting, is that my test was consistent with theknowledge of my Grandmother being 50% Native American (my expected NA was 12.5% and Itested for 16%). Additionally, I do have known East Asian (Filipino) descent from my paternaland maternal Grandfathers, NOT from my paternal and maternal Grandmothers. It could be thatmy results were more ‘accurate’ because I have both recent East Asian AND Native Americanancestry, and the test was better able to distinguish between the two. If my paternal Grandmotheris really 25% NA and 21% EA instead of 50% NA, it would make sense that my DNA test wouldshow up with less NA and more EA, which it did not. The test is apparently confusing NA with EAand vise versa. It seems very common, judging by the numerous other posts on this website bypeople who have known Native American descent, but come up with East Asian results. I amawaiting my Grandmother’s MtDNA results which I will post as soon as they are sent out.Email address (To use delete '-Wednesday-' and add @ sign in that position): dfc1-Wednesdayearthlink.netGuest: SLDate-Time: Wednesday, July 06, 2005 at 22:24:36 (CDT)My Expected Results for IE,EA,NA,SSAF Population Groups: 38, 50, 12, 0My Actual DNAPrint Results for IE,EA,NA,SSAF Population Groups: 34, 48, 16, 2DNAPrint Test and/or Euro add-on Test Version Number: 2.5Date DNAPrint Test and/or Euro add-on Test Was Ordered: November 2004Comments: Y-DNA paternal line = Haplogroup C. MtDNA maternal line = Haplogroup U5a1a.The results of the 2.5 test were very close to my expected results. I have read that people with NAor Mediterranean IE test for small amounts of SSAF, so the SSAF showing up is not that much ofa surprise. The 2.5 test seemed to be accurate, as it rather accurately represented my ethnicbackground. Both my maternal and paternal grandfathers are 100% Filipino, I have a maternalgrandmother who is 100% German and a paternal grandmother who is 50% Spanish andPortuguese and 50% Native American (Pueblo Tribes). Both my parents have 'mixed' ancestry, asdo I. This made me 50% Filipino (25% from Father, 25% from Mother), 25% German (fromMother), 12.5% Spanish and Portuguese and 12.5% Native American-Pueblo Tribes (fromFather). When you add it all up (50% EA, 37.5% IE, 12.5% NA), it is very close to the results ofthe 2.5 test (48% EA, 34% IE, 16% NA, 2% SSAF). I had taken the 2.0 test a few months earlierand received very different results. The 2.5 test was accurate within 2%-3.5% of my expectedresults as compared to the 2.0 test which was accurate within 8%-10.5% of my expected results.Based on the results of both the 2.5 and 2.0 tests, I believe that the 2.5 is more accurate than the2.0.Email address (To use delete '-Wednesday-' and add @ sign in that position): dfc1-Wednesdayearthlink.netGuest: Patricia Newellfile:///D|/KERCHNER.COM/dnaprintlog2005.htm (12 of 21)3/8/2010 8:12:17 PM
