Probably not a better way to ask the question, but there is a better way to answer it.... You can find out what you and your sister's admixture ethnic makeup is by using the 'Chromosome Painting' Utility at GEDMatch.com The utility will show the different ethnic groups that were identified, and also show an ethnic map for each segment. Just scroll down the map and look at chromosome 3 from 50 million to 80 million. I like to use the HarappaWorld model at Gedmatch because it reflects Geno 2.0 better (for me) than the other mapping models. (I like to look for my Native American component.) The way her segment could look different is if it overlaps different areas, or has a different length. If you are sharing the same area, then your ethnic makeup of that particular segment is likely to be similar. I do not recall an ethnic group for France as having been identified as yet, so no, don't try to estimate ethnicity by geographic area as you done here. More likely, 50 million to 80 million is a fairly large segment, and probably can contain up to something on the order of 15 different ethnic groups. Rather, you should be working that question the other way around, and ask what areas in France contain the ethnicity of your segment (if you are searching in France). - Dave Hamm RE: On 10/30/2015 12:21 PM, genealogy-dna-request@rootsweb.com wrote: > Date: Fri, 30 Oct 2015 15:00:02 +0000 (UTC) > From: "Peter J.

Let us say all of my mother's ancestry is from Japan and the chromosome 3 which I received from her mostly matches people from Japan on the area from 50 to 80 million. > > What could my sister's admixture look like in that same area??
