Okay I managed to pull all the data into Access. Now to see how to make sense of it.

Of course one could do Excel pivot tables on top of the Access table. I'll have a look.

Finnic ancestry isn't related to East Asian ancestry. Some Finns have it because of the Saami and the Saami have it because of the Samoyedic/Siberian influence. But other Finnic groups do not have it at all.

Now to answer your other question. That "Baltic" group should actually be renamed to "southern-Finnic". As the Lithuanians, Latvians and some Belorussians descend mostly from the native Finnic population of this region.

Just look how heavily FinN1C the Lithuanians are.

Damn. Maximum of 255 columns in my Access version. I'll use another database.

Are Estonians and Lithuanians more related to Finns or to people from Poland? That's my final question.

I've downloaded a programme called UltraEdit. Seems to be doing the trick. It easily opens the whole file. I'm now just fiddling to get it in the right format.
