Please fill in your ancestry info at Gedmatch
As most of you know, there are now seven Eurogenes ancestry tests available at Gedmatch (see here). I was planning to provide a detailed guide to each test, with information about the distribution of all the clusters in a variety of ethnic groups. However, the problem is that I can't quite reproduce the results from Gedmatch with the software on my laptop.
Sometimes the scores differ by as much as 10%. This isn't an issue for those of you taking the tests, because it's the relative results that matter, and these will always be correct as long as everyone uses the same algorithm at Gedmatch. Nevertheless, it means that I can't say with certainly where the clusters peak, and what their average scores are in different ethnic groups.
So, the only way around this problem is to ask everyone what they're getting. To that effect, the Eurogenes Gedmatch tests now come with an option to provide your ancestry as you take the tests. The ancestry info and the results go striaght to me, without any raw data being revealed. When enough people from relevant ethnic groups provide me with data, you'll see some really cool stuff here, like maps and such."
