I am of Tuscan Italian extraction but I have 5.7pc Iberian on Speculative Mode and 1.5pc even in Conservative Mode. Does this indicate a Spanish or Portuguese ancestor within the last few centuries?

I am similar to you , except have 5.3%Originally Posted by Cascio
23andme told me ( about 18 months ago ) that it represents Spain from Valencia to the French border including the Spanish islands in the med.
before my sons phasing , I had only 3.1% of Iberian ..............so I really do not know how phasing changed this percentage

Why only Valencia to the French border plus Balearics?
Do they mean "Catalan" in the widest sense?
Couldn't it also just mean some of the residual DNA from the ancient peoples of Italy, Iberia, and Sardinia, who were related?
Please see the current thread under YDNA I2.
Hi Cascio,
I also show a nominal Iberian signature with 23andMe, although my Italian lineage is from Naples, Avellino, and possibly Sicily. I know the Aragonese were in Southern Italy, and wonder if this presence had any impact on affinities between Italians and Spaniards. Also, like Christina said, it could be a more ancient connection that was present throughout the Western Mediterranean.
I'd much prefer the former hypothesis, since I love tapas.

maybe, although Sardinia, Naples ( southern Italy )and Siciliy was once owned by the Argonese/Catalans for a very very long time............I have no idea when the Castilians ever went to Italy , if they ever did, but Fernando was a Catalan and he was King of Spain at the time of Christopher Columbus

You may be correct, but does 23andme not claim that their AC shows more recent mixture (about 500 years ago)?
I don't know of any historic Spanish connection to Treviso so is the Iberian influence ancient in Northern Italy and Tuscany?
