I think populations like the English and Dutch are much better representatives of Northwestern Europeans than populations like Orcadians, Shetlanders and Icelanders. These populations have not contributed to anyone's ancestry in any significant way. They are very small and drifted populations who are a mixture of Gael and Scandos. I personally remove these pops for myself in G25 because Irish are more a source than the other way round. Icelanders just skew my results. No offence to any of these populations as I myself have some drift and I'm similar to them. If honest though they are not representative of Northwest Europe just periphery pops and I'm also periphery so I'm just giving my honest opinion. There is a Norwegian on Anthrogenica who always advises against using these island pops and I've taken his advice to heart and agree with him.

With English or Dutch we could start having problems, every reference has their own "behavior" when used in conjunction with other, and this is a problem wich has different origins, from the type of maths used in these statistical packages and from the references themselves and the way in collecting samples etc.

I chose the references with all of this in mind, and they seem to work quite well. In any case, we could always make a model with what you propose at another time, and it maybe will work better than this one.

No problem in using different versions with different versions.

But the Orkneys, Shetlands and Iceland would have experienced less recent population change than England and the Netherlands have over the last few hundred years. Historical events such as the Industrial Revolution may mean that the modern English and Dutch populations may have changed considerably over the last two or three centuries.

Yes but those island populations are small and drifted. They aren't a true representative of Northwestern Europe only the extreme periphery. Many Dutch and English are not much different that centuries ago if you get the correct samples like PoBI. English might have some Insular Celt in the woodpile but they are all Northwestern European. I'm just pointing out that the populations selected are a more extreme type and not core Northwestern European. It would be like selecting Sardinians to represent Southern Europe or the Azores to represent Southwest Europe. It is not a criticism of the calc but just an comment on the populations selected.

If I change the Northwest category with Dutch I still get this but just a higher distance.

Gixajo wanted the extremes but the Iberian category is quite a core Southwest selection. It is his calc so he can choose what populations he wants.

Simple model with new references made for the ocassion.

For fun.

Even if declared just fun this is a very good calculator as it provides a brief and stable generalized assessment for Europeans. "Sometimes less is more" is a saying in German and it applies here. IMO it's very telling and even suitable to be a kind of "gold standard" for moderns.
