This is my Ethnicity Estimate, as given by Ancestry For a basic explanation of what is shown here, read this:  More Than A Pie Chart I keep telling you all to download your raw DNA from your ancestry.com DNA tests, upload it to gedmatch, and run some of the algorithms there.  It can be a little overwhelming, there is so much to learn with our DNA, so today I'm just going to run a few quick projects to show you some of the things Gedmatch can do.   Gedmatch is a very barebones site  - it does a lot, but it does not explain a lot.  If you want to learn a lot more than what I am showing you here, go to this amazing site that breaks down what each option is, and why you should, or should not run it.   For instance, if you are not Jewish and you run the "Eurogenes Jtest" you may get false Ashkenazi (Jewish) results.  So you don't really just want to blindly run each test and believe the answers you see.   First you have to download your raw ...

When our kids were little, we once passed a sign for a waterfall and our youngest piped up with "well there's another hour added to our trip".  LOL!  I do love to stop and see everything along the way on our trips. To balance out my need to stop at every interesting sight, with my husbands need to actually get where we are going, we plan ahead with My Maps. It's a google app, separate from google maps, named My Maps.  This is the most awesome app ever. (I may say that about several apps.  Many of them made by google actually.  But I always really mean it.)
