Albannach's FTDNA Family finder results

**Albannach** · 06-09-2013, 01:40 PM

My population finder results are back and unsurprisingly I'm 100% Europe, 100% Orcadian with a margin of error of ±0.01%.
Pretty boring result but I will run my raw data data through Gedmatch once it becomes available.

I have downloaded my raw data from ftdna but I notice Gedmatch are not allowing any uploads until mid august. Can anyone recommend any other ways I can analyze my raw data?. I downloaded the EU test files but I have no idea how to run it, do I need to download a program?. Any help would be much appreciated. I am guessing my results are going to be pretty Irish the vast majority of my FF matches seem to have ancestry from Galway and to a lesser extent Tyrone.

I know, I was a bit disappointed, just for the fact it's such a boring result. thought There might have been something in the family as a lot of my family are pretty dark by Scottish/Irish standards. I wish FTDNA would update their population finder database though. Orcadian is rather vague catch all term and difficult to interpret. It would be good to get a breakdown of my Celtic, Norse ancestry ect, if thats possible.

I got my results back from Dr. McDonald, thought I would cluster more to the Irish as my mothers side are mostly from Galway but heres what he says.

Most likely fit is 53.9% (+- 16.6%) Europe (all Western Europe)

and 45.6% (+- 17.0%) Europe (all Northeast Europe)

which is 99.5% total Europe

and 0.5% (+- 0.5%) S. Asia (various subcontinents)

The following are possible population sets and their fractions,

most likely at the top

English= 0.486 Poland= 0.512 S_India= 0.002 or

English= 0.486 Poland= 0.512 N_India= 0.002 or

English= 0.484 Poland= 0.514 Sindhi= 0.002 or

English= 0.485 Poland= 0.515 Uygur= 0.000 or

English= 0.484 Poland= 0.514 Pathan= 0.002 or

English= 0.708 Lithuania= 0.283 S_India= 0.008 or

English= 0.707 Lithuania= 0.283 N_India= 0.009 or

English= 0.700 Lithuania= 0.289 Sindhi= 0.011 or

English= 0.699 Lithuania= 0.289 Pathan= 0.012 or

Spain= 0.149 Poland= 0.851 Sindhi= 0.000

A custom fit, usually

more accurate, gives similar results less the India:
