West and Central European?

[unicornrose]

I’m a little confused for the Central European part, part of my map includes Croatia and Slovakia for Central Europe but in the site doesn’t include those two within the Central European report. I get 83% for that. But I get 3% Eastern European, which I know should be higher but on my map, the Central...

Could somebody please interpret these results.

My MDLP World 22 results with GEDMatch are heavily Balkan too.

Population Sharing:

Population (source) Distance

1 Macedonian (derived) 7.64

2 Bulgarian (derived) 8.14

3 Serbian...

I uploaded my raw data to GEDMatch and looked through all of the calculators. I only know my maternal ancestry which is mainly welsh, english and irish as well as a Lithuanian great grandparent and some Norwegian and German ancestry somewhere down the line. My fathers ancestry I’m not sure of other...

I am wondering if there is possibly an issue with my DNA kit (transfer from Ancestry) as I seem to have a very low amount of DNA matches. I recently noticed that my account only has 472 matches but I am sure I previously had much, much more than that! My mum's DNA has also been transferred under...

Hi,

Does anyone know about damage to DNA caused by HIV or HIV meds? I was wondering (for months) if this could affect my results in any way, as I have AIDS and have been taking various antivirals for 23 or so years. I have glanced at articles in past which discussed chromosome breaks...

I am wondering what autosomal DNA test and what values to find Saami (Sami) ancestry. My Saami ancestry is through my Paternal Grandmother and doesn't show on a Y-DNA test.

Thank you - Mike

I've started using this forum's blog function to write about my experiments using Admixture. So far, I've posted an introduction and the results from my first successful experiment. I'll continue with a tutorial how you can run Admixture experiments of your own, should you so desire.

I just created an easy-to read DNA testing guide that you can download for free.

My DNA Testing Adviser web site has a lot of useful information for genealogists, adoptees and others. Yet I felt an overview was needed to put the different DNA tests in perspective.

I describe...

Dear members,
I am a male aged 37 years old, and have a question.

My mother was adopted at a very young age, and was able to track down her biological birth mother. However when it came to understanding who her father may have been, she never got an answer or indication who he was...

I need some advice as to how right my logic is! In using DNA to try and break my brick wall the following has happened. After much posting and waiting I was contacted by a fellow that matches me on 27 markers. His was done on 32 by Ancestry and mine was a 37 marker on FTDNA. They state that the MRCA...

Your Genetic Genealogist has an interesting blog post comparing the amount of shared DNA between known cousins. The actual amounts of shared DNA vary, but they're not too far off from the theoretical expected values. There are chromosome diagrams showing the matching segments, which might be useful...
