I'm new to GEDmatch and I was wondering if some of you guys could help me interpret my results.
Do my K13 results make sense in conjunction with my 23&Me? Do other people with heavily Northwestern European backgrounds score similar results?
Also, I'm curious, are the Oceanian and African results legitimate or are they just reflective of something like noise or archaic admixture?

Yep, they look quite typical. If you want to see a spreadsheet that somebody made with the average values for people of different populations, this one is quite cool: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dCZldTIfd-EPjDlpQiFNcHwOtZus9Qdll3pB48zdQG0/edit#gid=0
Do other people with heavily Northwestern European backgrounds score similar results?
I'm entirely NW Euro (you can see my ethnicities in the info box on the left), and my results are as follows:
Population
North_Atlantic 52.09 Pct
Baltic 26.29 Pct
West_Med 9.52 Pct
West_Asian 7.98 Pct
East_Med 1.06 Pct
Red_Sea -
South_Asian 1.03 Pct
East_Asian -
Siberian 1.61 Pct
Amerindian 0.41 Pct
Oceanian -
Northeast_African -
Sub-Saharan -
Also, I'm curious, are the Oceanian and African results legitimate or are they just reflective of something like noise or archaic admixture?
I always assumed anything around 1 or lower was noise, and subsequently ignored it. For some reason lots of Irish people score small amounts of Amerindian on these calculators even though would have literally been no possible way for them to have had a Native American ancestor. :)

What does the Gedmatch Oracles show in terms of the European populations that you are related to ?

Interesting. From your name "TheUlsterman" I would have assumed that you had a unionist/loyalist background but your results seem to indicate a nationalist/republican one. Your Gedmatch results do seem to be more Irish than British whereas from your 23&me results I would have thought you would be more British. The problem with NW Europeans is that there is always going to be a wide area of overlap between the populations. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

So you have both Protestant and Catholic ancestry? That would probably explain why you appear more British on one and more Irish on the other.

My mother is mostly Irish (her grandfather was born in County Mayo and fought for the IRA during the Anglo-Irish War. My father is a Scots-Irish Southerner.

You look typical Irish. Could you post the mixed mode of Eurogenes K13 and the results of Eurogenes K15 (one and mixed populations)?

Gedmatch results always have noise, anything below 5%-10% is noise on gedmatch imo
