MyHeritage Ask The Expert - Exploring AutoClusters

[@patrickrice4468]

Ref "Murphy": many years ago in New York City, the ethnicity of abandoned children could not be positively identified. Those children were randomly given to families of different ethniticies/religions.

Hi Daniel! I missed this presentation a few days ago. I think my example in there is from 2019 with only 115 matches? Lower threshold then too. So now that itʻs increased to 400cM, I have a second cluster that includes a 1/2 1C (who is also my 2C1R) and a 2C and a 1C1R who is also part of that endogamous population (Hawaiian). So he matches some of the bigger cluster (363 matches + 4 in the smaller/2nd cluster) and the minimum threshold used was 105cM and the same amount of shared minimum.
