Tips For Reading Your GEDmatch Oracle & Spreadsheet Results

[@adriaticseaeyes]

Thank you! I appreciate the time and examples you made in this informative video! I am of mixed ethnic background: Caucasian and Hispanic so your explanation on the Mixed mode Population sharing really helped me, and it confirmed what oral familial history I'd been given.

Simple and direct explanation, Sir! Now for the hard part - application!

If I understand correctly, the sharings modes are what your DNA's ethnicity is the closest to, not necessarily containing those ethnicities? Having done my family tree, and continuing my researches, the single population sharing with eurogene k13 seems to support the informations I already had about French, dutch, german, irish and scotish : # Population (source) Distance 1 French 4.07 2 South_Dutch 4.58 3 West_German 5.2 4 Southeast_English 9.34 5 Southwest_English 10.38 6 Austrian 10.88 7 Spanish_Cataluna 10.93 8 Orcadian 11.38 9 North_German 11.67 10 Spanish_Galicia 11.82 11 Spanish_Castilla_Y_Leon 12.06 12 Portuguese 12.12 13 North_Dutch 12.23 14 Irish 12.37 15 East_German 12.41 16 Danish 12.45 17 Southwest_French 12.46 18 West_Scottish 12.67 19 Spanish_Cantabria 12.74 20 Spanish_Valencia 13.6 I was testing with gedmatch, trying to see if I had not swedish connections, since would have some in Ancestry's. With the mixed mode population sharing, it had a lot of swedish. I don't really understand that part, if someone is able to explain it :) Sorry for my english, french-canadian here!

That's a brilliant explanation. Thank you!

You're very welcome!

Which calculator would you recommend for African-Americans (people or people of West African and North/Western European ancestry generally)? I tried looking on your website, but I am not sure I got a clear answer.

[@noneckedbuddy.2297]

Same. Too much confusion

[@orlane2806]

Probably ethiohelix

[@physicist-physician5555]

hi, i have a quick question: # Population Percent 1 EAST_ASIAN 90.94 2 SOUTH_ASIAN 6.55 3 ASHKENAZI 0.64 4 MIDDLE_EASTERN 0.47 5 WEST_AFRICAN 0.43 6 EAST_AFRICAN 0.4 7 NORTH-CENTRAL_EURO 0.29 8 WEST_MED 0.27 in that result above, would that mean that I have those ethnicities, say for example Ashkenazi 0.64%?

[@mariissa-zf5ty]

[@epicwave7060]
