My maternal grandmother, yes (Kresy Poles, Belarus). My father is 1/2 German and his German side by records is all from Mecklenburg and Pomerania (German and Polish parts) so technically some Slav genes coming from my paternal grandfather as well…

Yeah, its one of the better tools on there imo, its definitely too ancient to actually differentiate between any modern minor elements. I made these average coordinates using the recent 2026 Akbari dataset, there based off my closest samples. Would you mind running them against your own cords, i just want to see how close you plot.
