    I was not too happy with the new update to be honest, it's as bad as the last version. My eastern european components are strongly underestimated here i feel, i does link me very precisely with Pomerania, which is totally correct. That was impressive.
    But other than, i get tired from seeing all this English/wales stuff in my results. I hope the result gets better with next update.

    Pommern/Pomerania was a Swedish fief for a long time

    Their Irish GCs are amazing and for such a small country they have about 29 (approx). I don't think any other country that size gets anything like that. All the UK don't get as many. They must have a lot of Irish-American testers with pretty good records but I'd say they have a good amount of actual Irish testers as well. I know they do testing in Ireland and have a few Irish quite prominent in their organisation.

    Excuse my ignorance. So that's obviously your Scandinavian side then. It's an Eastern European GC though?

MyHeritage has a lot of European testers but a rubbish algorithm. I wish they would do an update on that one. I notice you have a Pomeranian GC which is obviously from your Polish ancestry. That's pretty cool.
    Well i do have strong documented matches with americans. I don't know where they live, but it very well could be in that region. So it might not be that silly. I carry the same genes that my matches do, and some of those genes have been linked to this migration.
    Yes, it's really amazing they are able to pin point into such a small region. Pomeranian region is not very big at all, and it matches perfectly with where my ancestors were from.

    Wish they'd do some danish communities aswell. Would be awesome.

    I was referring to Maxte92’s post but I’m assuming it really depends on the individual and how far East or what area of Pommern it’s in. My paternal lineage includes northeastern Germany myself, but I have no Slavic ancestry apparently

    It's not swedish ancestry. Pommerania was swedish VERY shortly, from military conquest. My family from there are polish. If you look aswell, pomerania is under "Czech republic, poland, lithuania"
    Nothing to with sweden.

    There are a lot of Kashubians in Milwaukee and Chicago. Milwaukee also was a ground zero for many immigrants coming from the Prussian empire

    I see that. I was just adding some historical context. I think the Swedish influence was more or less in western Pomerania and Mecklenburg. In places like Wismar or Stralsund.

    Are you suggesting that Swedes left a genetic legacy there?
