To me, this observation is an example of the large uncertainty that the current "admixture" algorithms have. Your estimate may be refined at that time. The release has been delayed due to COVID-19.
Otherwise, you can just be patient, because FTDNA is going to release a new version of myOrigins in the near future (myOrigins 3.0). You might want to choose "Family Finder Questions" from the drop menu in the form. Explain what your issue is as you did here. Normally you'd receive a confirmation email fairly quickly, within about 1-2 days, then a reply from a service representative later. But, if you do, keep in mind that there may be a delay in response, due to the current virus situation. I would say you should contact FTDNA by submitting a Customer Support request, using the link at the top right of these pages, to see if they can help. It's probably the same with Eastern Europe some of your 94% should have been Ashkenazi. This happens sometimes with people from the Mediterranean who get a percentage assigned as Ashkenazi, instead of that percentage being assigned as Southern Europe. What do you know of your ancestors? If they were indeed Eastern European, it seems that some of them were Ashkenazi.Īs for why your ethnicity estimate doesn't show Ashkenazi, sometimes the algorithm FTDNA uses for myOrigins can mistake one ethnicity for another. The ancestry of your matches is a better indicator of your own ancestry than the ethnicity estimates. If many of your matches have Ashkenazi ancestry, then you have some Ashkenazi in your ancestry. Since you do have matches with Ashkenazi ancestry, look at your Family Finder match list (not all your matches will show up in the Shared Origins tab). This population is now scattered across the world with the largest concentrations in Israel and the United States and represents a unique mix of Middle Eastern and European genetic elements, which crystallized within the last 2,000 years. If warranted, the new probabilities will be used to improve the relationship prediction tools at Ashkenazi cluster, who represent the majority of the world’s Jewish population, derived from countries that were located within Central and Eastern Europe. You can contribute percentages for matches above 280 cM by completing this survey. The values for centimorgan amounts below 280 cM have already been compiled. Would you like to help? Compiling this new data from match lists is perfectly suited to crowd-sourcing. This is good news! Better probabilities will improve the predictions in tools like What Are the Odds? I suspect that Ancestry’s scientists have redone their simulations now that their database is larger and improved the likelihoods. The numbers in the new DNA Matches feature at AncestryDNA are different from the previous data, and they also go down to lower centimorgan levels. The probabilities from Figure 5.2 are integral to the Shared cM Project Tool and What Are the Odds? at. Previously, the best data we had for that came from simulated data in Figure 5.2 of the AncestryDNA Matching White Paper, and it took some doing to get the numbers into a useable form. An essential question in DNA-based predictions is ‘ How much more likely is one relationship than another?‘ The most likely relationship isn’t always the relationship. She and I share less than average for first cousins once removed only 32% of people who share 293 cM are 1C1Rs the majority (63%) are second cousins. The example above is my mom’s first cousin. You’ll get a pop-up window with some interesting information.
AncestryDNA’s updated DNA Matches (now in beta testing available here) has a nice little surprise for those of us who take a statistical approach to our DNA work.Ĭlick on the shared DNA amounts in your match list.Īlternately, you may have a little “i” in a grey circle beneath the predicted relationship.
