I was also originally in a project called the Sanchez Name project but was later dropped when I did not fit conclusively what they were looking for in that project (Taino DNA). That project was taking the name Sanchez as jumping off point as it is one of the most geographically diverse names on the planet. They were interested in Jewish history and Native American history and the connections to Puerto Rico particularly north Eastern Puerto Rico. Being that my mothers side of the family is from the exact area they wanted to study and by family legend my great grandmother was Indian I was asked to take part. I turned up some Jewish traits but not what they were looking for and no one I know in my family is a practicing Jew (might have had to do with that whole Inquisition thing or that whole Hitler thing after that).
The results I am squarely North African and Roma (formerly known as Gypsy) but an unknown section (perhaps the Native American section) required deeper testing of which I was unwilling to pay for at the time. So I was dropped from the project.
The National Geo project goes on and you too can take part.

I did my DNA test through My Family Tree DNA (not to be confused with familytree.com)
https://my.familytreedna.com/
A little explanation
Haplogroups are the major branches of the Y-chromosome tree. They are defined by Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs), which have accumulated over many generations as the Y-chromosome is passed from father to son. These SNPs map the paths back to the single common male ancestor from which all men alive today descend.
The Y-Chromosome Consortium (YCC) has reconstructed the structure of the Y-chromosome tree by testing SNP mutations in different human populations. As scientists have discovered more SNPs (e.g., M254), the structure of the tree has changed. Currently, there are 20 haplogroups (A through T). In turn, each of these major haplogroups has subgroups, or subclades, that are named with alternating letters and numbers (e.g., I1c).

Below I will post my results keep in mind these are very general.
My specific Haplogroup: E-M35.1 or E1b1b1 wandered out of Ethiopia some 50,000 years ago. 20,000 years ago they had settled in many North African coastal areas including the Canary Islands (where my so-called Spanish ancestors came from). Mixing with Phoenician and Berber groups eventually becoming a different genetic group. My family was said to be Roma (or Gypsy) Jewish and of this North African group. Arriving in Puerto Rico they became Native American and West African. Physically we show some of this but the DNA test did not turn up and Indian this comes purely from family legend that my great grandmother on my mother's side was Indian. So what do I do with this info? There is a section on test on my mothers's side that turned up unknown deeper testing required, Indian?

Haplogroup
Test: your matches suggest that you
belong to Haplogroup E3b,
therefore you qualify to order our deep clade test which focuses on
all mutations shown on the next screen after you click on the
"Continue for more information" button. Order
your Y-DNA SNP test for Deep Sub-clades.E-M81 is found in NW Africa, not found in sub-Saharan Africa and its frequency sharply decreases eastwards. E-M81 is a "Berber" marker. It is also found in all Iberian populations, signifying Berber admixture, ranging
Y-DNA - Ancestral Origins
from 1.5% in Northern Italians, 2.2% in Central Italians, 1.6% in southern Spaniards, 3.5% in the French, 4% in the Northern Portuguese, 12.2% in the southern Portuguese and 41.2% in the genetic isolate of the Pasiegos from Cantabria. It is found in only 0.7% of Sicilians and in no southern Italians. It is also not found in the Balkans
Y-DNA - Ancestral Origins
The Y-DNA - Ancestral Origins page allows you to
view the ancestry information for your matches from one of our
Y-chromosome DNA STR (short tandem repeat) tests, Y-DNA12, Y-DNA25,
Y-DNA37, Y-DNA67, or Y-DNA111.
Country - This is the paternal country of
origin.
Match Total - This is the total number of matches for a specific country.
Country Total - This is the total number of people with Y-chromosome DNA (Y-DNA) results from the country of origin in the Family Tree DNA database.
Percentage - This is the percentage from the country of origin compared to the total number from that country in the database, i.e., the MATCH TOTAL column divided by the Country Total column. Please note, a percentage will not be shown if the Country Total is less than 100.
Comment - This is additional information such as a social, religious, or ethnic group. Where more than one match from a country has provided the same comment, the number of matches is shown beside the comment. For example, someone with matches in Germany might have Baden-Württemberg (2) and Schleswig-Holstein (7).
NOTE: Family Tree DNA uses the International Organization for Standardization's ISO 3166 for country names.
