Which GEDMatch calculator is best?

[miarosie3]

I’m trying to find out what the other half of my fathers ancestry is because I’m getting told a few different things by a few people, not that I don’t mind, I just really want to get a clear as possible picture.

My maternal ancestry is mostly British which the exception of my great grandfather being Lithuanian/Polish. What I know of my fathers ancestry is that he is likely half Middle Eastern, I know that, but I want to find out what the other half of him is.

Which GEDMatch calculator would suit best for this?

[Jana]

Try updated Eurogenes K13 on Vahaduo. Works great for me and my partner, even better than G25.

[Samnium]

G25 is the best, otherwise you could try Dodecad, it isn't that bad.

Avoid Eurogenes K13, K15 etc.

For me K36 give the best map, but I like K13 too.

In gedmatch use k36, k15 and k13. If you have the chance, use G25 too.

Eurogenes isn’t the best for me

[Rocinante]

It works for you because you are caucasian. Can i see your K36?

[Leto]

Which Dodecad calculator?
K12b. It has a great deal of similarity with Harappa.

[miarosie3]

It’s just what I got used to being told, that it wouldn’t work for me because of my Middle Eastern Ancestry. I also tried out the k15 plot map. But here’s my k36.

You're straight up quarter Ayrab and three quarters white :cool:

Which I already know lol I just wanted to get a more accurate breakdown for my ‘white’ percentage lol

[miarosie3]

I can see you are predominantly english, with a considerable amount of eastern european like polish or Ukrainian, and small hints of middle eastern ancestry.

Is the Eastern European just enough to cover one great grandparent though?

[miarosie3]

I can see you are predominantly english, with a considerable amount of eastern european like polish or Ukrainian, and small hints of middle eastern ancestry.

Because my maternal ancestry is mainly british apart from a great grandparent that is either polish or Lithuanian

[Leto]

Which I already know lol I just wanted to get a more accurate breakdown for my ‘white’ percentage lol
He seems to be half Northern European.

Do you have an ambiguous look? Or do you look fully white British?

[Rocinante]

Is the Eastern European just enough to cover one great grandparent though?

Yes, maybe. It could be a western polish with eastern germanic ancestry, because your north sea it's actually quite high.

[miarosie3]

Dark hair, olive/tanned skin, greeny brown eyes. If that is the case then why do I get a lot for Eastern Euro on k36? I don’t look fully white at all lol I know that he had black hair, dark brown eyes and the same skin tone as me though

Honestly I look like I’ve been adopted haha. My mums side is all blonde hair, pale skin and blue eyes and then there’s me haha

[miarosie3]

Yes, maybe. It could be a western polish with eastern germanic ancestry, because your north sea it's actually quite high.

I asked and my great grandfather was definitely born in Lithuania, his parents ethnicity is unknown but there is possibly German ancestry from his side. What about the k15 plot map though, is that any use to me?

[miarosie3]

Cool. I'd like to see you :p ;)

So if my make up is mainly European, shouldnt the k15 plot map work for me? Because I would like to try it out again :)

I don't know. It's not always accurate for mixed people. Your Egyptian quarter is gonna pull you down south.

Hm maybe. I also did some more research for my maternal grandma, her maiden name was Olson which I believe is Danish or Swedish? So her maternal side was not likely 100% European but her paternal side was.

Eurogenes K13, K15, K36 and Dodecad K12b.

[Fabricius]

For me Eurogenes K15 is the best.

Between Eurogenes K13 and K15, I prefer Eurogenes K15 because it separates the Nordic element from the Atlantic, which I consider very relevant.

For a more general view, I like Eurogenes K9b.

I don't like Eurogenes K36. It's very confusing, it mixes so many elements that it's hard to trace a path to me.
