You definitely seem to be primarily a mix of Native American tribe(s) in Latin America and European (possibly Iberian), and it is possibly around 50/50 (though it does not necessarily mean one parent is fully NA and the other is fully European - they might both be a mixture of the two and it just happens to equal about 50/50 for you). I've explained the basics of understanding the Oracle results in general - is there something specific you have a question about? I'm assuming you have a Latin American background based on this - again, do you know what your ancestry is?
Well my father told me that his mom was pure Spaniard and his dad was Mexican Indian. On my mom's side, her mom was Texas Indian and her dad was of Spanish descent.
This part has always puzzled me... The distance being displayed is simply a value of how close one matches the sample standard for that group, right? Depending on the test, the values might vary even for the same group. OP's values of 20.xxx are quite high...meaning not a close match to the ethnic groups. (I usually see 3.xxx or lower). Would there be a better test for OP than the one being used?
The Single Population results in post #5 (which looks like it's from MDLP World-22) have a couple results in the 7s, but generally, like westsideboy said, because the OP is clearly from two different continental populations, he is never going to match just one single population very closely (single population is assuming your entire ancestry is from one population, so if it's not, the results are probably going to be very distant). There might be the odd report here and there that has a few closer results in single population, but in general, it's not going to be very useful for someone who is from two (or more) very distinct populations, since that's not what it's for.
Well my father told me that his mom was pure Spaniard and his dad was Mexican Indian. On my mom's side, her mom was Texas Indian and her dad was of Spanish descent.
Yep, that sounds very consistent with your results and how we interpreted them. If you're looking for more specifics, like what tribes your Native American ancestry were from, unfortunately the results are not reliable enough to be conclusive regarding that.
I have a legit question.... if my grandfather and another persons grandfather are 3rd cousins what does that make us?
5th cousins.
