r/LivingDNA

For reference, i'm Venetian (northeastern Italy).

My paternal haplogroup is I1 (I-S440 haplotype), and my maternal haplogroup is K1a.

As far as genealogy goes, my maternal grandmother is from Venice, and a great-grandmother on my father's side of the family (his mother's) is from Tyrol.

I know my father's side of the family came from Central Europe in the XVIII century (explains the I1 haplogroup i guess). The DNA from southern Italy is likely due to historical mixing, so i understand that.

However, i can't make sense of the South Caucasus DNA. Not only genealogically, but also what does it mean? Is it Armenian DNA? Or is it steppe ancestry (since it does have a Caucasus component)? Or is it an aberration due to the nature of the LivingDNA analysis?

Thanks to anyone helping me make sense of this.

So I uploaded my ancestry dna to living dna and I was confused it said Japanese and Korean and Pannonia the rest were the same as the ones ancestry said. I'm also Filipino Chinese so maybe I got my Japanese ancestry from that but I thought it would've appeared on my ancestry. It also excluded the African which I find strange since that was on my ancestry dna report.
