What's are best GEDmatch calculators for Jewish ancestry? The only one I know of is the Eurogenes Jtest one and I know someone online who's Jewish and said it underreported the ancestry for them. Are there any other GEDmatch calcs that are good for Jewish ancestry?

Gedrosia any good for this?
It's impossible to guesstimate, but on Eurogenes k15/ k13 east med is usually what separates jews from other Europeans since it's a levant-like component.

If you want to see if you have any traces of jewish ancestry I would recommend you to upload your Raw DNA file to Myheritage(they have reference of Ashkenazi,North African Sephardim and other jewish groups) and to FTDNA (they have reference of Ashkenazi and Balkan Sephardi).
About gedmatch- I don't think it gives you how many Jewish blood you have. It's just gives you the closest populations for your DNA. I know the Eurogenes tests are the best for me (Sephardic Jew).

On 23andme, if you have thousands of cousins all over the planet and the neighbour galaxies, you know.

What? What do you mean?
I have Jewish matches on 23andMe who have 4 Jewish grandparents but 23andMe's ancestry composition thing says I have very little. GEDmatch Calcs seem to estimate more with many giving me at least 20% Ashkenazi and listing many other Jewish or related populations (like Assyrian or Samaritan) in my mixed population thing. Gedrosia in particular seems to blow it up with some of their calcs giving me like 60% various Jewish groups.
