You should select what region you're from https://www.theapricity.com/forum/at...8&d=1686590850 or maybe https://www.theapricity.com/forum/at...9&d=1686590866 are going to be the best for you.

Thanks, but I notice the regional break down ignores my East European ancestry completely. My great uncle`s autosomal DNA is mostly Balto-Slavic according to (uploaded) DNA tests. Also I noticed that his fit goes from good to bad when I change his region to North Western Europe. While it is true that this region shows my main ancestry, it fails to show my minor ancestry.

This is my North West European result:

Fit: 1.514 (Good)

Germanic (AD 700–1000)53.4%

France (AD 130–1400)42.6%

Insular Celt (AD 100–1000)4.0%


And this is my West/ East Slavic and Hungarian result:

Fit: 1.478 (Good)

Germanic (AD 700–1000)74.0%

Balkans (AD 500–1000)24.2%

Magyar1.8%


vs my great uncle

North Western European:

Fit: 5.408 (Bad)

Germanic (AD 700–1000)85.6%

France (AD 130–1400)14.4%


East/ West Slavic and Hungarian:

Fit: 1.489 (Good)

Slavic (AD 540–1270)51.0%

Germanic (AD 700–1000)24.0%

Magyar11.4%

But I said to you that the best region for you would be Central Europe, so why don't you use it?

Still my global results are much better (Fit: 0.964 (Very Good)). Also my great uncle´s results are: just Fit: 3.662 (Moderate). How can I trust it, when it is worse even for my great uncle? But here we go:

Me:

Fit: 1.249 (Good)

Germanic (AD 700–1000)66.2%

Italian (AD 650–1450)19.6%

France (AD 130–1400)10.6%

Slavic (AD 540–1270)3.6%

Is your great uncle german? The fit doesn't matter that much when it's below 2.0.

You mean al distances below 2 are equally good? My great uncle is half German.

Not that they're equaly good, it's because when it's below 2 you need to pay more attention to the population accuracy, example, I get the lowest distances with sardinian, but I have 0% sardinian ancestry, got it?

where in Germany are you from?

Then you should use East/West Slavic & Hungarian for him, and Central European for you.

Yes. But maybe I don´t I have Italian ancestry within many generations (as far as I can trace my family tree until know) although I get it almost always and the percentage is not that low. How do you know you don´t have sardinian when you are South European? Did you trace your family tree that fare?
