List Readers who also use GEDmatch might be interested in looking at a new program that I have placed on my website. http://www.ianlogan.co.uk/painting-by-gedmatch.htm The program uses the data from GEDmatch 'One-to-many' pages to show ethnic/cultural groupings. At present the program is at the trial stage, but I feel it does have some potential. So far, with very few GEDmatch pages examined, it is clear that persons in the Ashkenazi community form a very distinct group. If you are on GEDmatch and have interesting results, I shall be very pleased to hear from you. I would also appreciate being given further African and Asian GEDmatch numbers. Ian

That is an interesting concept, Ian, but the K-type Ashkenazi group is probably being swamped by K1b1a1 results. Other non-Ashkenazi K-type tests could be wrongly interpreted.

Thanks Ian. I am M724701 at GEDMATCH, mtDNA haplotype U5a2a1d, and shown on 23andMe's Ancestry Composition to be 100% European. My painting-by-GEDMATCH worked quite well. It looks very similar to archived European samples, the main difference being my higher (3.6%) number of relatives from mtDNA haplogroup L. I suspect that this higher L percentage is typical of people with many colonial American ancestors, especially from the southern colonies. As we know, this admixture went almost exclusively in one direction.

Obed Thanks for the message. I have added your results to the archive on my program. I have now produced version 1.006 which allows for the archived results to be split between different pages; and for the moment I have European, African and Asian pages. And, I must look more carefully at the significance of your page giving 2,000 matches within 5 generations, as compared to my own results where I have only about 500 matches within the same range.
