I think what Javelins means is, give the customer more possibilities to chose from.
Like for example "oracle"...
one of the possibilities it tells about my results is:
95% German average + 5% Lithuanian average = roughly my results
Interestingly I am a German who knows about a Lithuanian Great Great Grandmother (mathematically responsable for 6% of the anchestry)
that would fit very well.
On the other hand, even knowing that German is the main anchestry gave me a lot of possibilities including:
85% German + 15% Finnish
95% German + 5% Lithuanian
95% German +5% Polish
94% German + 6% Russian
96% German + 4% Belorussian
95% German + 5% Chuvash
85% German + 15% Swedish
90% German + 10% Norwegian
(at least they all agree that the X that is added to German is from North, Northeast or East of Germany. No other direction.)
Family Lore is about the Lithuanian GGGMom.
But if you dont have Family Lore, what to do?
My longest DNA blocks I share with a Norwegian, the second longest with a Dutch. These would lead to false conclusions (or not? hmmmm)
The third longest with a Belgian and the 4th longest share a German and a Pole. 5th longest is a German and a Ukrainian.
No Lithuanian so far but at least 2 Germans in the top 5.
If I go for the anchestry finder top, the problem is, so more testers there are from a country so more the results are twisted toward that country....Thats pushed UK to place 2 I believe.
Now imagine, what if I wouldnt know anything, like an adoptee for example? Hmm.
