They now provide a list of percentage-based admixtures, though nothing like you can get for free at GedMatch, which are probably far more accurate as far as what they claim to tell you, and can't tell you. Prosapia's system currently produces a "report" in the name of colburn.shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00865190912424543500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8641680.post-83375066775631715632015-01-17T19:24:20.195-05:002015-01-17T19:24:20.195-05:00They now have another "Remix" result whi...They now have another "Remix" result which gives multiple locations and seems more accurate than the "GPS" result.

I posted a message asking how they come up with that, as I do have one line for certain that came from Germany but most all of my ancestors were from England.

It certainly makes no sense upon a little reflection, but sounded so intriguing. My result was a point at the geographic center of the Western European genetic region (as depicted by Ancestry).
