How many of you that are on My true ancestry are native Germans?

[Slavic Italian]

I am curious because I am scoring in the top ten on all their ancient German samples.

Are you getting high matches with those samples? I am mixed and I am top ten or 99% on all of them.

Nope, this website is uber bullshit and you should not take those hilarious results seriously.

All these tools try to make everybody German. G25 is not much better.

What do you mean ? G25 modern samples are not perfect nor extensive but you can model your modern ancestry, correctly, with Iron Age and Medieval samples. There is a saying GIGO (garbage in garbage out).

Some people say the English are just 'island (insular) Germans', anyway. So bare with me (anything under a fit of 2 is good). Here is a G25 result using 2 ancient source populations and genoplot :


Sample:kfburke39 ► AncestryDNA

Results:England IA62

British population history has been shaped by a series of immigrations, including the early Anglo-Saxon migrations after 400 CE. It remains an open question how these events affected the genetic composition of the current British population. Here, we present whole-genome sequences from 10 individuals excavated close to Cambridge in the East of England, ranging from the late Iron Age to the middle Anglo-Saxon period. By analysing shared rare variants with hundreds of modern samples from Britain and Europe, we estimate that on average the contemporary East English population derives 38% of its ancestry from Anglo-Saxon migrations. We gain further insight with a new method, rarecoal, which infers population history and identifies fine-scale genetic ancestry from rare variants. Using rarecoal we find that the Anglo-Saxon samples are closely related to modern Dutch and Danish populations, while the Iron Age samples share ancestors with multiple Northern European populations including Britain.
