Don't know what my 'region' is supposed to mean, but I'll assume the British Isles.

Faroese would possibly be the closest if it was on these lists. So them, Icelanders and Dutch probably.

[Peterski]

In G25 - if regions are ignored - I get

1. Czech

For me using G25 if regions are ignored:

So because i'm mostly Northern-Insular, I have to pick outside of that? Ok, beyond N-NW...

Adding a simmap for POLISH UPPER SILESIA only here:

https://i.postimg.cc/G3jcRrX9/polish-uppersilesia-simmap.png (https://postimages.org/)

I will seek out my simmap/s for most polish by K36 22-chromosomes using straight merged data (not Superkit), which may in fact yield best results.


Target: SC_Ave_IllustrativeDNA
Distance: 0.0196% / 0.01961812 | ADC: 1x RC
33.5 Polish_Upper_Silesia
33.1 Irish

9.7 Irish_Leinster

Target: SC_Ave_IllustrativeDNA
Distance: 0.0255% / 0.02547255 | ADC: 2x RC
100.0 Northern_Irish


According to one calc, I get Northern Irish at 2x ADC, which is my closest region on the calc.

This is the sim map for Northern Irish, (which resembles my K36 Merged data for chromosome #1 for me):

this is my chr 1:

[#Oda#]

Danes, followed by Dutch.
I'm not sure as to place 3.

Now using my IllustrativeDNA coordinates:

Distance to: Peterski_Illustrative_scaled
0.01819923 Polish
0.02177135 Czech
0.02343213 Slovakian

And when adding also regional populations:

Only beyond your region you live and surroundings. For example, if you are a Norwegian, you may have close genetic distance to English or Dutch.

[Gergő Marosvári]

If I exclude the Hungarians from the list, these are the three closest modern populations for me: Croats, Moldovans and Slovenes or Bosniaks.
And if we break down the European populations (excluding again the Hungarians and the Hungarian regions) into smaller regions I also often get Rusyns from SW Ukraine (Zakarpattia), Bosnian Croats from Bosnia and Northern Moldovans.

[TheMaestro]

Guess some Yugoslav shit.

[celticdragongod]

Scottish, Shetlandic and Cornish.

[ScandinavianCelt]

Only beyond your region you live and surroundings. For example, if you are a Norwegian, you may have close genetic distance to English or Dutch.

So maybe I should exclude on the modern pop averages all the groups that I score with using ancestry and 23andme? I mean can we say those are my home regions I don't really know
