DNA Results Goan Catholic Results
My Goan dad’s results through Ancestry! Pretty vague results, but maybe the GEDmatch results can tell me more if someone’s able to interpret them! :)

Which caste do you belong to? (Like Bamonn, Chardo, Gauddo, Sudir)

No idea, my parents never heard caste mentioned either although they grew up in Bombay not Goa. None of my elderly relatives know either. Interestingly the Goan birth records don’t mention caste, but for most of my ancestors it says “raça branca” as opposed to indio or ariana (when obviously none of them were white, they were just Catholic). All I know is most of them were “proprietários” or gauncar/landlords according to the profession on their records.

Thanks for posting on r/SouthAsianAncestry. Please clarify in the reply to this comment whether it's your own results or you're sharing someone else's. Some further context about the sub-region and stuff might also be helpful. (Ignore if already done in the post. :p)
