I'm getting unusual results on the oracle. My GedMatch upload is from 23andme. My family history is 100% Ashkenazi (mother Hungarian, her mother Eastern Slovakia, her dad Western Slovakia; paternal grandparents Poland & Belarus). My mtDNA turned out to be Sephardic as is a medical result from my mother's side.
Most places (23andme, AncestryDNA, FTDNA, Doug McDonald) put me as 100% (or 94%+) Ashkenazi (or "European Jewish") and various GedMatch admixtures confirm the Ashkenazi and give me a lot of Medit., West Asian, plus some Middle Eastern, similarity to Iraqi and Iranian Jews, Druze, Palestinian, etc.
My K15 results are pretty similar, though the African is new and I am not sure what Red Sea signifies.

It's the oracle results that are unusual. All Sephardic. I'm thrilled that you now have Sephardic and Ashkenazi separate (along with some other Jewish populations) but I don't know what to make of it. Now, it is the case that probably every single Ashkenazi Jew on the planet has a bit of Sephardic in them (recent study to that effect; there was just so much spread from the expulsions 500 years ago) and a lot of Sephards probably have a bit of Ashkenazi, though there are some groups that have kept more separate.
When I saw my results, I wondered if I could be more Sephardic than I thought. So I ran my dad's results and they are pretty much the same. Unfortunately, I don't have my mom around to test. Our other GedMatch orcles were mostly Ashkenazi.
