We never exchange those results. Also I asked sometimes my clients from Germany if I can use their results in averages so it was another source and I have opportunity in this time to ask them about genealogy, many times they aren't on Gedmatch. So our averages can't be identical. Although some made from few kits could be but it is minority.
Regarding Polish averages I am not sure if they are just copied averages from the source of K36 Similitude tool from 2017. If yes, they are our common work, not only Peterski. Also I used here kits from Michal Milewski (he is active on Anthrogenica only) who collected some Polish regions in 2016 like Upper Silesia, Masovia, Lesser Poland. Anyway they were much improved by me since this time and I admit they are not ideal now.
