MyHeritage Update Confirmed late June 2024

[Beowulf]

I've got my Results already, not very good lmao i'll share them later because im not in my home yet

[djipon]

On reddit someone shared a response from MyHeritage saying that they are not updating them year by year, but on batches. Still unspecified how are the batches determined, tho...

[rothaer]

Their system is flawed by tagging this "additional ethnic group" but not calculating that group into your main breakdown. It just doesn't work for some of us.

This is a big misunderstanding. Genetic communities and groups are without any influence on the calculated percentages. It's misleading customers time after time that these two completely separate tools - the calculating of percentages and the determination of related genetic groups and communities - are at all displayed together.

[retfala]

It seems I'm the only one who didn't get an update yet :unicorn

It's misleading customers time after time that these two completely separate tools - the calculating of percentages and the determination of related genetic groups and communities - are at all displayed together.

It isn't misleading because they always say in there sites that it's separate.

[Eurafricanid]

It seems that their biggest problem is not identifying and assigning ethnicities, it's the smoothening algorithms and penalization that they're doing on them, that's the main issue with this update.
This is most likely an overcorrection of the mess it was before with many scattered ethnicities (and random a lot of the times) for everyone.

[rothaer]

Now updated with a big change.

Before I had 37+% "Scandinavia", now I correctly do have zero. I'm not sure how to interpret my current result, though.

I've marked in red the funny aspects of all my genetic communities that are by MyHeritage linked to my "East European".

So what they're saying is if the French are living in Canada then they're not "French" which changes my ethnicity results completely. Why? Because they haven't lived in France for 400 years? Genetically my father's father was completely French with some minor indigenous Canadian. My results with this company did not reflect the correct proportions of French at all and it appears that the French that I did get would be from my father's mother with the British Isles background. 23andMe and ancestry give me between 25 and 31% French but this company gives me 4%, so what does that tell you? It tells me that they're not calculating correctly.

I can barely see it, it is so small, but I can see it. It is different from your known ancestry, but you really are mostly Spanish.

no problem:

EUROPE


Spanish, Catalan and Basque 93.0%








Southern Spain, France and Algeria







Portugueseb 4.7%






South Italian 1.2%






Balkan 1.1%







Idk why it gave me mostly spanish, i'm mainly spanish indeed but around 1/4 of my tree is of foreigner ancestry lol.

But after seeing some results in reddit i expected this anyways.

Ich sage genau, was ich gesagt habe, nämlich, daß die genetischen Gruppen keinerlei Einfluß auf die prozentualen Ergebnisse der Herkunftsschätzung haben. Es besteht bei MyHeritage gar kein technischer Zusammenhang zwischen der Herkunftsschätzung, die Komponenten mit prozentualen Anteilen ausweist, auf der einen Seite und der Darstelllung von genetischen Gruppen und Gemeinschaften auf der anderen Seite. Letztere werden nur durch treffer mit anderen Personen ermittelt.

Ich beschreibe hier lediglich, wie es bei MyHeritage funktioniert. Es funktioniert übrigens ebenso zweigeteilt bei AncestryDNA und bei 23andMe.


I am saying exactly what I said, namely that the genetic groups have no influence whatsoever on the percentage results of the provenance estimation. There is no technical connection at all in MyHeritage between the provenance estimation, which shows components with percentages, on the one hand, and the representation of genetic groups and communities on the other. The latter are only determined through matches with other individuals.

I am only describing here how it works with MyHeritage. By the way, it works the same at AncestryDNA and at 23andMe.

They are a Jewish company, they prob arent working today bcs its Saturday
I think tomorrow or maybe in 2 days, everyone will get it, i alr saw some persons with kits from 2022 updating, mine is from 2023/2024 so will take a while. . .

I completely regret doing these fucking tests because they are jewish companies, but they will never delete my data.

These tests provided no surprise to me.

Not sure if you have access to it, but DNAGenics has a new "Eurogenes EU Test 13" calc. I'd like to see your results and if they match this result you got. Run the Montecarlo under the "Population Studio" tab and let me know if you get a similar result.

I went from 100 to zero England btw. Now I'm 50% Dutch + German + Danish.

Yes, this update has lots of difficulties. In some minor cases, is it accurate? I am sure I’m close to 100% Portuguese; no other tests entirely grant me 100%, but it didn't necessarily surprise me. But then I see colonial BRs who, yes, get lots of Portuguese DNA but get the same 100% as me when they scored clear abundances of SSA and Indigenous. In your case, it seems they detected your Spanish but couldn’t discern it with more North Euro because of maybe the basque combo or something. Or it just truly has some more deep issues with ultra smoothing… couldn't tell ya.

[Kriptc06]

A few examples to what i said

MyHeritage still uses Mestizo samples labeled as "Indigenous", so most Mestizos are nearly 100% "Indigenous", so most Latinos will have messy results:
https://www.reddit.com/r/MyHeritage/s/BQJrduHf0z
https://www.reddit.com/r/MyHeritage/s/31wsnR5FmV


They are having problem with mixed ppl, that guy is 50% South Italian, 50% Welsh, and for some reason he just scores 25% Brit.
https://www.reddit.com/r/MyHeritage/s/RUGhLfkecb

If u arent 50/50, or dont have a a "Dominant" ancestry, the biggest part will prob absorve the minor one, like this girl begin half Lebanese and scoring 15% Egyptian, her son is 1/4, and dont even score MENA:
https://www.reddit.com/r/MyHeritage/s/TViFBkcki5

Again, the dominant side absorving the minors one, he is just 80% Iberian, but scores up to 95%, its like they are using a super conservative model:
https://www.reddit.com/r/MyHeritage/s/Pfcd9cq4KV

For some reason the "Portuguese" categorie is bugged, and almost all Afro-Americans are scoring Portuguese and also a TON of Nigerian (80%, even persons that are just 60% SSA):
https://www.reddit.com/r/MyHeritage/s/5g0sr1tbRT
https://www.reddit.com/r/MyHeritage/s/mchvQOa99b
https://www.reddit.com/r/MyHeritage/s/Ugl7fAygVo
https://www.reddit.com/r/MyHeritage/s/h9Opso8T7w

But the update works the best if you are:
* Pure Iberian
*Balkanic
*British (But they confusing Scotish with English a bit, also Irish with Scot but thats ok)
*North African
*Scandinavian (But they tend to confuse Norway with Deenmark and English a bit)
* Full Indigenous
* South Italian
* Turkish and West Asian

Work the worst with:
*Persons with more than 2 Ancestry, especially if they are similar, like Welsh + Italian
*Persons who dont are 50/50 split
* Mestizos (Prob the most fucked up in this update)
* Aframs
* Castizos/Quadroons (U will be almost full European)

For the majority of resulst, thats it i think.

so, resume:

It's garbage

[JayH]

This is a radical update!
Before I was from all countries of Europe, now I am French and Breton and a little Scottish and Welsh.
Which is correct.
Even the little bit of Scots and Welsh can find an explanation in the Breton migration to Armorica in the 4th century.
Although I find it odd that that they can be as precise.
Perhaps a happy accident of calculation...

It was not more accurate, just more restricted to the genetic mix of the most recent group.

In my case, the update was unsatisfactory, before it gave more answers.
The update was a crap!
They put a good part of my Nordic, Semitic, Mediterranean and even BALTIC (!) genes as being "Portuguese". Ok, Portuguese have something Germanic (Suebi, Gothic), Arabic, Jewish, Maghrebis etc. But Baltic?! Before, if I'm not mistaken, not even 4% of Portuguese people had Baltic DNA and I had 12%, that is, probably a Baltic great-grandfather.

Now I prefer GEDmatch's Eurogenes K15 even more.

Ancient admixture should be part of an ethnicity. Unless you have a Great Great Grandparent or something that close you wouldn't really show some different ethnicity if you have longterm heritage in a population. The reason why MyHeritage was so incorrect before was that they didn't have good references. Their reference for Iberia before seemed to be very Basque or the populations closest to that area. So a Portuguese would get an unrealistic population mix. It is why on MyHeritage previously you would get Japanese getting Finnish results or Pashtun getting Irish, Scottish and Welsh or Scandinavian etc. Just not accurate.

I know some mixed people now are not getting good results but I think they are much better now for people of mono ethnicity. Hopefully they will look at the issue for mixed people and not leave a fix for too long.

Grace, I respectfully disagree.

I'm from southeastern Brazil, I don't know much about my ancestors, but they've been here for a few generations.

I don't even look like other white people in the region.

Family stories tell of a "German" ancestor, but I have no documentation on this.
What I know is that before the MyHeritage result made sense, now it doesn't.
It makes no sense to say that a phenotypically heterogeneous population is the same.

This new MH may be very cool for nationalist Europeans, who want to be 100% anything, but for me it isn't.

I don't think people want to be 100% of anything but in the end you want accurate results. Personally I would love a test which showed ancient admixture and if that was reliable that would be great. I'd love to know if I had some Norman ancestry or anything else that was there. Everyone on this thread does know there is a problem with people that are mixed and if that is you then yes MyHeritage do need to improve in that area. My post above was for people that have long term ancestry in a place and want to have all these weird results and put it down to ancient admixture. Mixed people are not getting good results with this update.

Even people like Creoda who is half English and half Irish hasn't had an accurate result with this update.

tente aguardar por mais updates do myheritage , eles melhoraram significativamente nos resultados mas nessa ultima versão deles ainda esta ruim para pessoas com etinicidade europeia misturada e com populações mais distantes uma das outras e sem grupo genetico comum, entao o resultado ainda esta saindo igual o seu e do beowulf por exemplo , você poderia tentar outras empresas também mas teria que saber como esta esses segmentos por exemplo se no 23andme ele tiver muito espaçado e em pequenos blocos junto de outras etnias de populações misturadas eles podem acabar sendo smoothados em uma so etinicidade em vez de duas , o ancestrydna é melhor nesse quesito mas ainda carece de mais atualizações.

But I've seen people share that they got a reply it will happen by 12th July, which is a drastic difference. People with tests from 2023 and 2024 are most likely to receive the update around that date, unfortunately... ��

[JerryS.]

The way I understand it, the update is only going to be for people who tested with them. If you sent them raw data from another company you will not get the update.

I asked them if I am to receive an update for my AncestryDNA kit, and they replied positive.

[Fabricius]

tente aguardar por mais updates do myheritage , eles melhoraram significativamente nos resultados mas nessa ultima versão deles ainda esta ruim para pessoas com etinicidade europeia misturada e com populações mais distantes uma das outras e sem grupo genetico comum, entao o resultado ainda esta saindo igual o seu e do beowulf por exemplo , você poderia tentar outras empresas também mas teria que saber como esta esses segmentos por exemplo se no 23andme ele tiver muito espaçado e em pequenos blocos junto de outras etnias de populações misturadas eles podem acabar sendo smoothados em uma so etinicidade em vez de duas , o ancestrydna é melhor nesse quesito mas ainda carece de mais atualizações.

Obrigado pela orientação!
Reparei o pessoal dizendo que o MH ficou mais parecido com o 23andme. Sendo assim, quando for possível, vou preferir o Ancestry.

All the official answers that have been posted on Reddit are:

1. There is no particular order for updates.

2. It may take up to two weeks.

So we just have to wait and be patient, but one can already get an idea of his own results based on what we have seen so far.

[JerryS.]

I just checked mine, no update yet.

[Gergő Marosvári]

My Ancestry upload got the updated results
(I uploaded the raw data approximately in the end of 2021):

I am really happy that I kept all of the genetic groups and actually I kinda like the results!

Have you posted your update?

Old MH versus New MH

Old MH compared to Eurogenes K15

K36 result

[Danjojo]

New vs Old

The new one doesn't seem more accurate 🫣

If it had kept some of the Scandinavian and Irish, Scottish, Welsh, with Eastern European around 55% -
would have been better

New:
https://i.ibb.co/61DsCXd/mh-new3.jpg (https://ibb.co/2scK4Zb)


Positive:
+By looking at many updated results, I have noticed that MH has eliminated the "usual" 1-3% Ashkenazi proportion for most of the average Europeans.
+I can live with the Dutch result, as I am naturally (and also geographically) much closser to the common Dutchman or Belgium than to the average non specific German. Gedmatch calculators underlines this. (nevertheless it could be confusing for many others who lack of family history).
+The genetic groups are reasonable and pretty much the same.
+ They actually finally understood their wrong / reverse causality between North Germans and English people (Anglo-Saxion invasion / settlement).
+ The 1,8% Danish matches to my 23andme (2,7% Scandinavian) results.

Negative:
- still confusing / misleading for average people (and let's be honest: MH is made for those average Joe's)
-> The wording "you are..."
-> Overlapping Regions (Dutch belongs to Germanic and is also optically fully in the green germanic cluster)
- still not nearly as accurate as 23andme.

+/- Same genetc groups but under different sub folders.

Conclusion:
It could be a small step forward. I think a lot of super exotic results and proportions have been discarded. Some freakish results are fixed and are now much more closser to the respective paper trail or other test results (gedmatch / 23andme etc.). Unfortunately some new logic issues have also emerged. It remains to be confirmed.

I have my updated results that I already posted in this thread. I bought a kit for my Mom and the kit arrived today. I tried several times to activate her kit. MyHeritage won't let me. I can't even log in to my own kit anymore. I get this message:

Access has been temporarily disabled, this occurred due to suspicious activity. Please try again later

I had this theory today, that they've stopped updating tests, as there are no people sharing results today and yesterday. I guess they might be pre-updating all tests, in order to release them all at once, so they don't get so much negative feedback or/and they are making changes in calculations again, as a lot of people are complaining.

MyHeritage mods deleted my topic on Reddit, after it got some attention, so I guess it might be close to truth? ;)

[Ritz06]

Their system is flawed by tagging this "additional ethnic group" but not calculating that group into your main breakdown. It just doesn't work for some of us.

This is the results of me sending my MyHeritage DNA to FamilyTreeDNA and then transferred the results back to MyHeritage, haha. I’m hoping my original results will receive better updates, but I'm not optimistic.

[Ritz06]

Wow that is actually pretty insane. They really are basically doing ADC 2X on people which is why lots of unique admix in mixed heritage people is being overgeneralized.

FamilyTreeDna with their update where turning me italian xD

Not sure if you have access to it, but DNAGenics has a new "Eurogenes EU Test 13" calc. I'd like to see your results and if they match this result you got. Run the Montecarlo under the "Population Studio" tab and let me know if you get a similar result.

Additional genetic groups are not very confident.
Unlike them, genetic groups in high and medium confidence level are good.

What is the Balkan region in my heritage????

Balkan Slavs and Romanians

[Crazy W.]

Balkan Slavs and Romanians
Hallo
And the east Europe is Slavic as well???

[Dušan]

East-West Slavic and Hungarian. If you are partly Hungarian, you will get East Europe most likely.

I'm half Greek and half Hungarian and I have Balkan,Italy and Finland...

I want to see my results in the updated V2 Myheritage
Probably the next week :eek:

[~Elizabeth~]

My Mom & I completed her MyHeritage DNA kit and I put it in the mailbox. I didn't know how much postage to put on it and I didn't want to take an Uber to and from the post office so I tried googling how much postage to put on the envelope. It said about $5 from last year. I put eight forever postage stamps on the envelope. That's $5.44 in postage.

[~Elizabeth~]

My Mom's completed DNA kit has been in the mailbox since yesterday afternoon. The USPS mail carrier delivered mail today but did not pick up the outgoing mail.

[djipon]

It seems like MyHeritage is recalculating already updated results. Anyone wanting to share if there is a difference?

[Graham]

Isn't this what beta testing is for? Then we can have confidence in the proper results, rather than recalculated testing posing as results.

[~Elizabeth~]

The USPS mail carrier must have picked up my Mom's completed kit very late on Monday afternoon.

I still have this interesting result where I'm essentially denied Germanhood but this denial in turn seems to contain some reservations by mentioning "Germany" in every (!) genetic group that is not connected to "Germanic". :)

https://i.imgur.com/DzBErZi.jpeg

[Feiichy]

my grandma sister good pretty accurate genetic groups:

- Balkans in Serbia, Croatia and in Bosnia and Herzegovina
- Balkans in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and in Serbia (Vojvodina), and some of their descendants in the United States and in Chile
- Hungarians in Hungary and some in Slovakia, Romania and Serbia
- Central Europeans in Poland, Hungary and some in Germany, Slovakia and Czechia, and some of their descendants in the United States (New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Ohio)
- Germans in Germany and some in France (Grand Est), Austria, Switzerland, Belgium and Netherlands, and some of their descendants in the United States
- Germans in Germany and some of their descendants in Northeastern and in Midwestern United States
- Greeks in Greece and some of their descendants in the United States

My godson is 1/16 German Jew, and his group is very accurate:

- Ashkenazi Jews and North Europeans in Netherlands, Germany and in England, and some of their descendants in Northeastern United States

They've stopped the update. They no longer bother reassuring people it will happen soon. They now reply with "when it happens/in the near future"

[Far_away]

It will be done at end of summer i guess. Really strange that some people got updates two times while some none.
They are not serious company so i’m not very suprised.

They are a serious company, especially in genealogy (which is their actual focus).
It's very clear that they didn't test it with more mixed people (probably because their database is very European and Middle Eastern/Jewish) and then when they released the first batch of updates they realized they needed more testing before they updated it for more people, and also tested with the people that are getting the two updates, it's not that hard to figure out.

[JerryS.]

Has their farce ceased?

They don't even read their messages anymore. One guy on reddit asked them if the update is to be released by 2025 and they answered with the same template message, saying they can't give a specific date :D

Ancestrydna raw data , Myheritage did stop to update results?

https://i.postimg.cc/VshK30D8/matches.png

[Kriptc06]

MyHeritage is having uploads with all results free this early October.

I'm glad I didn't play 29€ for this. My results as expected are utter trash, anyone with native american will have garbage truck goo results

On a lighter note, this is my aunt's results, it's more Ok-ish

hello, I upload mine in october 1st, and got the results in 2 days, never had that message, so I can't tell

yes, 23andme

[Geba]

Same here.

I have decided to make another account with my 23&me raw data. This way it will be faster.

[JerryS.]

No update on my old data.

[Geba]

MyHeritage has calculated DNA estimate for my upload in less than 48 hours.

And it looks like old not updated results :icon_lol: East European is blue, Balkan is red.... while in the updated results East European must be green and the Balkan category is yellow.

[Geba]

Still no update for original MyHertage kits. :picard1:

[JerryS.]

It's November and they still haven't updated my results from their June update.

[Fabricius]

Fking MH v2.5 has appeared and continues the same shit as v2.0.
Fortunately they still allow you to consult MH v0.95

I don't believe they will correct the absurd error.

I will be satisfied with my raw data and its use in other calculators.

[Geba]

Still coming soon.

When is Jewish New Year?

[Lux Tenebras]

lol june 2024

[Beowulf]

They made a new announcement claiming that we all are gonna get the new update in january of 2025.

We will get in january but in 2030 xD

[Eurafricanid]

We will get in january but in 2030 xD

I know you're skeptical, but that's their first update ever, they weren't confident with it yet after the inicial batches, recalibrated it and removed 1 ethnicity:

https://i.imgur.com/BVfouBE.jpg

And for the unreasonable people that are crying about the v2.5, it's obvious that everyone got the v2.0 changed into v2.5, but they stopped updating it to hold for the January release.

[nittionia]

I'm still waiting for the first update :eek:

[Geba]

I'm still waiting for the first update :eek:

Same story, sister.

[Eurafricanid]

Technically this is supposed to be the "first" update for everybody if you think of the current ones as tests, which is what they are.

Unreasonable is your pathetic and voluntary (apparently spontaneous) defense of this garbage.

Is it obvious that v2.0 became v2.5 without any changes? Why they changed the numbering? And why in January will it be v2.0 again?

But v2.5 is only the third joke.

This is all a joke at different levels, not only because of the obvious unfulfilled promise, but also because of the overestimation of the main ethnicity to sound "accurated".
The complaints are not from some, they are from many who received the result.

And now you share this warning that THE FIRST update will be in January ends up making the fourth disrespectful joke both with those dissatisfied with the update and with those who didn't even have the first update.

[Demirkazık]

I feel like we won't be getting the update.

1st - I guess you didn't read what I wrote, congrats! It's clear that it wasn't good for a lot of people and it needed calibration, so the people that recieved the update ended up working like beta testers, if the company had said that the official updated would've been in January 2025 all along and the people that got those results were beta testers, you wouldn't be crying like that, whould you?

2nd - This is literally their first major update since 2016 and the company was always more specialized on the genetic geneology aspects, since their geneology tools are actually the best comparing to all companies.

3rd - The late june batch was released without any blog post which is standard practice in their company, so from that time on I realized this wasn't going to be the final one.

You're a dishonest asshole, just like Passoni, who liked your shitty answer.

Of course, if it were clear that it was a test, it would be acceptable, but it wasn't presented like that, and you need a mental maneuver and pedantic rhetoric ("oh, it is obvious") when none of that has a simpler explanation than "they're lost."

They SHOULD inform us that it was a test, or simply update some without much fanfare. They were so lost that they did try something with v2.5, I remember that it was the case of an East Asian that had some change. But I'm not going to look for the video or need to prove anything to you.

Clearly you will soften all their failures (in Brazil "passar o pano", you know) and on top of that denying the right of customers to criticize.

I'm not asking for the money back, I'm not denying that it was worth it.
I don't want to discourage potential future customers.
And I sincerely hope that MyHeritage will succeed in the future.

But many things I've been reading here, this pretense that everything is in order, that's disgusting.

You in this same thread had to change the speech.
At first you applauded how incredibly accurate the update was. Now it's "obvious" that they need to calibrate.

Be ashamed of yourself, man.

[Luke35]

It's clear that it wasn't good for a lot of people and it needed calibration, so the people that received the update ended up working like beta testers.

Yes sir, I agree. I'm one of the people who has received three updates now (v2.0, v2.1, v2.5). The v2.5 update (1 month ago), changed my results yet again. MyHeritage contacted me about a week later for feedback, just as they had done for the previous updates to my kit.

I am of the opinion that everyone did indeed get the v2.5 label change -- but that their results did not change because they did not actually receive the v2.5 update, yet.

Also, I didn't say it was bad or good for everyone, I just said that it was bad for a lot of people and it needed calibrating, also, here's an old post of mine:


It seems that their biggest problem is not identifying and assigning ethnicities, it's the smoothening algorithms and penalization that they're doing on them, that's the main issue with this update.
This is most likely an overcorrection of the mess it was before with many scattered ethnicities (and random a lot of the times) for everyone.

[Solitude]

the only thing we can have now is patience, at least it's a good sign that they recognize that it's still not good enough for everyone and they're now going to try to improve their genetic analyses.

[Fabricius]

I excluded Brazilians and Iberians, Italians, as well as other people with names that don't sound like they are from the region from the list below.
I also excluded more than 10 German-Brazilians, as I don't know if my match with them comes from an Iberian mix.

Ethnic Finns 50
Ethnic Swedens 44
Ethnic Nowergians 28
Ethnic Germans 23
Ethnic Danes 13

131741

Not much has changed since then.
In fact, reviewing, I reconsidered and took out 1 from Finland and 1 from Sweden for being women with the southernmost common first name. It may be that they married and took their husband's surname.

It's a very boring activity to exclude Brazilians and Iberians from matches in other countries... (There are many brazilians in Europe!)
As I commented in an old message, the tool to filter by ethnicity was much better.

Northeastern Europe:
Ethnic Finns 49
Ethnic Swedens 43
Ethnic Nowergians 29 (+1)
Ethnic Germans 27 (+4)
Ethnic Danes 14 (+1)
Ethnic Poles 3 (+1)
Ethnic Lithuanians 1
Ethnic Estonians 1

Now I discovered a thread with this purpose of showing the matches:
https://www.theapricity.com/forum/showthread.php?273197-Post-your-MyHeritage-DNA-matches-by-country

I will post there.

Fabricius acho que a unica forma de saber isso seria tendo acesso aos adn correspondence shared que libera quando voce tem assinatura do myheritage , se um dia voce tiver acesso a essa feature identifique o segmento onde irá aparecer somente matches não ibericos , deve ter algum segmento com pelo menos com mais de 30 matches relacionados aquele pequeno segmento depois no chromosome browser tente triangular eles , pela feature do adn correspondence shared voce consegue ter uma boa pista de qual etnia é a origem daquele segmento , se tiver muito finlandês entao é muito provavel que seja de origem finlandesa que depois se espalhou para outros países

De fato não tenho como ter certeza de que os matches não tem ADN ibérico só pelo nome e sobrenome, mas posso descartar os que certamente são ibéricos e chamar o restante de "nacionais étnicos". E acho improvável que um fino-escandinavo tenha o mesmo componente pré-ário presente nos ibéricos e que meus matches seriam uma influência reversa de minha etnia predominante.

Sobre qual etnia compartilho com os matches, o MyHeritage fornecia uma ferramenta simples e gratuita. Era um simples filtro. Agora eles fizeram o desfavor de tirar.

Agradeço pela orientação, mas isso seria ainda mais trabalhoso. E não adianta saber muito sobre os matches, pois até os mais próximos são muito fechados ao contato.

Entendo , a unica forma atualmente de saber se eles tem alguma conexão com a iberia seria analisando o segmento comum a todos eles , se esse segmento aparecer quase somente eles e nenhum ou poucos ibericos 1 2 , 3 significa que há grande probabilidade daquele segmento ter sido herdado de um ancestral não iberico , outra coisa que voce deve ficar atento é os matches zig zague é uma limitação do algoritmo onde o match vai seguindo uma linhagem depois ele pula pra outra linhagem por exemplo a paternal depois volta para a linhagem maternal isso cria um efeito de zigue zague que voce consegue verificar ao tentar triangular esses matches desse segmento , alguns nao será possivel pois sem phasing esses matches vao vir de zigue zague e serao ibs mas muito provavelmente esses ibs ainda sim tem um ancestral em comum mas é de origem mais antiga ao ancestral que deu origem ao segmento , genealogicamente as vezes impossivel de ser identificado, se um dia for pesquisar mais sobre isso é so me quotar ou mandar mensagem que eu te ajudo nas analises para tentar determinar se tal segmento é ibd ou ibs.

Not yet, but with the amount of idiots on Reddit already complaining, as if they can be 100% what their DNA actually is, I won't be surprised if they pause it again... They should just release it at this point, and not even bother the feedback until done.

If I received an update in the summer of 2024, will I get one now as well? It seems that the update primarily applies to people who didn't receive one at all, but there were also cases where people who got an update in 2024 now received updated results again.

The results from my AncestryDNA upload. Pretty much identical with the MH one, apart from the genetic groups. I get some weird ones here...

https://i.postimg.cc/XJ0L94RG/image.png

[Vive_Dylan]

Updated results for me as a mixed French Canadian, Italian, English person. Results are really quite accurate for me, even more than I thought. I'm roughly 50% French, 25% Italian, 25% English in terms of my ancestry on paper. The Dutch and Germanic on the results are just misread northern French I think, same with the Spanish, Catalan and Basque as it's really similar DNA but overall really quite accurate especially when compared to the old results

[ScandinavianCelt]

They scrapped my previous update and just updated the v2.5 for me. This is the average of both data sets (Ancestry+23andMe) I uploaded:

8% Norwegian
7% French
7% Scottish-Welsh
5% Danish
4% Breton
3% Dutch
3% Germanic

I'm guessing my Mom is Swedish-Danish and Dad has the rest.

Note:

Using official modern pop averages scaled (not individuals) of the same groups as MH gives me, it comes out quite differently:

Target: SC_PreUpdate_Official_Ave_Scaled
Distance: 2.1469% / 0.02146879
54.2 Swedish
20.6 Norwegian
18.8 French_Provence
6.4 Scottish

My Dad's Dad is French on all sides as far back as I can research the modern times, so to get such low French with MH doesn't make sense for me to get 7%. As noted previously, Ancestry is giving me 38% French now, and 23andMe gives me 31%.

No update


I received an update earlier in 2024. Was this the same update that people are just now getting or another?


I just get emails telling me that I have a new 3rd cousin/match. Nothing about an update.

Strange, that drop down box doesn't exist where I see yours.

Looking at your results they are updated results anyway.

Yes those results are from the update earlier in 2024 April/May/June? But I thought this was an entirely new update to 2.5 where mine in the bottom corner still says 2

Thank you for clarifying. Yes you should have an update for 2025. I also got an update for 2024 and another one for 2025 as did my other family members. I would contact MyHeritage if you don't get the update.

Do you think my French genetics are that diverse that I would only end up 7% French? I mean how deep is this ancestry going 800 years it's definitely not three four or five hundred years. Also both companies can't be correct meaning ancestry giving me 38% French or this company giving me 7%, so which one should we trust? As far as I know the sample database for ancestry is so much greater than this company that they would be able to more accurately do identity by descent connections.
