We had my father take 23andMe awhile ago but never shared. Thought I’d post now. His mother is Oromo Arsi from Bale Ginder and his father Somali from Bari, but raised in Bale.
They have been in the Bale Ethiopia area for generations but still maintain their harti connection. I feel they are mainly harti autosomal wise and married into Somalis. But since tribal affiliation is an Integral part of somali society it’s important to know your roots in that aspect too.
The weirdest part of our DNA journey was my aders and uncles who were with him in Bale who tested mainly have the EV32 paternal hablogroup more so E-18629. My father has a J1 hablogroup.
He has Somali, Oromo, and one or two Harari matches which makes sense considering where they lived and the unity amoungst the groups especially during the religious wars and fights against colonization etc.
We did a big y for my brother awhile back and his matches were mainly Arabs from Saudi, Yemen, Oman etc. Now we are digging deeper into the J1 Somalis and their true story of how and when they came to the horn.
