Goldfoot Heritage from Found Countries with GedMatch Test
Through a test on GedMatch.com, a Population DNA Eurogenes J Test, my brother and I have results showing what population our genes tell where our ancestors came from. We already know my brother's Y dna haplogroup is Q1b1a or Q-L245(from Rebekah Canada) and the origins of that were parts of Turkey, Iran, Iraq and possibly southern Saudi Arabia. Through my mother's line, I know my mt haplogroup is H2a1 and that population covers almost half of Europe though my maternal grandmother was from Sweden.. .
1. South Baltic: 8.62% to 8.90% These are Baltic states as they are near the Baltic Sea.

Northeastern region of Europe containing the countries of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, on the eastern shores of the Baltic Sea. It also includes Finland, N. Scandinavia, Romania, Belarus, Since another Goldfoot cousin carried much less in her makeup, I would say most of this comes from our mother's side. However, it could also come from Lithuania as it is most south and the Goldfoot/Goldfus lived in Lithuania at least back to the 1700s. .
3.North-Central
European: 17.36% to 20,38% Central Europe lies between Eastern and Western Europe. Northern Europe is the northern part or region of Europe. Geographically, northern Europe consists of (from west to east): Iceland, the British Isles, Scandinavia, Northern Germany, Finland, the Baltic States and Northwest Russia. Greenland, a constituent country of Kingdom of Denmark, geographically a part of North America, is politically a part of the Northern Europe because of its strong historic ties to the European mainland, and may be included depending on the context. Our mother's mother was from Sweden. That would be north central Europe. That's why we have a high % here.

2. East European: 7.95% to 8,83%
Regions used for statistical processing purposes by the United Nations Statistics Division which classifies Azerbaijan, Armenia, Cyprus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, and Turkey in Asia:
Northern Europe Scandinavia
Western Europe France, Germany, Austria, Czech, Poland, many Jews here
Eastern Europe Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Lithuania, Latvia, many Jews here
Southern Europe Spain, Italy, Bosnia, Serbia
3.North-Central

4. Atlantic 13.90% to 16.67% USA along Atlantic seaboard -recent genes. It comprises the British Isles (Great Britain and Ireland), Iceland,Belgium, the Netherlands, the central and northern regions of Portugal, northwestern and northern Spain (including theSouthern Basque Country), the southwestern and western portion of France (including Northern Basque Country), western Scandinavia, and northern Germany.
5. West Mediterranean 10.42% to 11.55% , France, Italy, Spain, Algeria, Tunisia , and for our history, most likely it was Italy as Jews from Jerusalem went there.
6. Ashkenazi 14.41% to 18.04% Jews live and lived in Israel (2.8 million), Germany (200,000), Russia (194,000-500,000_ and Poland (25,000). Our history is from these areas in the Pale of Settlement. .

7. East Mediterranean 9.24% to 9.78% with Israel, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Libya, Syria, Liberia, Greece and Cyprus, and our origins would have been Israel.
8. West Asian 2.89% to 4.32% The term is sometimes used for the purposes of grouping countries in statistics.
The total population of Western Asia is estimated at about 300 million as of 2015. It overlaps with Middle East excluding Egypt. As a geographic concept, "Western Asia" includes the Levant, Mesopotamia, the Arabian peninsula, Anatolia, Iran,Armenian Highlands and South Caucasus. The Sinai Peninsula belongs to Western Asia. Some records include "include the nations of Turkey, Iran, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Lebanon, Syria, Qatar, Kuwait, Jordan, Iraq, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Cyprus, Oman, and Yemen as part of West Asia. Our history would come from what they call the Levant which includes Israel.

9. Middle Eastern 5.18% to 5.71% with Israel being our origin, and could be from the Q also originating in Turkey. At some time in history could also come from Persia, the home of Queen Esther (Iran today).
10. South Asian 0.67% to 1.88%, and our history could come from Pakistan/Afghanistan, the 10 lost Tribes of Israel. We must have hooked up with one of these people.
11. East African 0.18% to 0.43% and I would guess Ethiopia since Jews were there, descendants of the Queen of Sheba and her entourage who had visited with King Solomon. .
12. East Asian 0.41% to 1.00% of Mongolia and China and this would be part of carrying the Ydna of Q1b1a with origins in Siberia, Mongolia and parts of Turkey. Our connection? I say Mongolia.
13. Siberian 0.44% to 0.82% (tested Y haplotype Q1b1a) We were the perfect people to come to Lithuania as Q1b1a, right out of Siberia, Mongolia, parts of Turkey, and into the Pale of Settlement held by Russia. Of course this trip took thousands of years and I think had to have deviated into Israel around Ur in Iraq. The % is so small because this was where it all started on the Goldfoot side so very long ago.
Update: 12/9/15-change in origins.
