Fantastic Find: "Finally! A Gedmatch Admixture Guide!" by Genealogical Musings blog

My Eurogenes K13 piechart result.  Surprise, I'm of European ancestry! lol

For whatever reason, one of my top posts is "New Admixture Test on GEDmatch: PuntDNAL K15" from back in 2015.  DNA tests are getting more popular all the time, particularly for finding out one's ethnicity estimates, but how can you go further in your interpretation of them?

Thanks to a mention on the GEDmatch forum, I found a great guide (in two parts) at Genealogical Musings (not to be confused with Genea-Musings) called "Finally!  A Gedmatch Admixture Guide!" for anyone willing to dive in and use GEDmatch

Parts 1 and 2:

For those unaware, Gedmatch.com is a website where you can upload your raw DNA data for further analysis and matching with people from other companies who have also upload their data.

A Gedmatch Admixture Guide: Parts 3 and 4

Continuing on from Parts 1 and 2 where I covered the different projects and calculators available for Admixture Proportions and what Oracle is and how to read it, I've had some requests to cover the other viewing options available like Admixture Proportions by Chromosome and Chromosome Painting.
