Recent Ethnic Origins
Welcome to the database of RECENT
ETHNIC ORIGINS (REO). The results below show the ethnic origin of
those you match or nearly match in the REO. The ethnic origin information is
provided by each testee, and is only as accurate as the testee's knowledge.
Testees are instructed to answer "Unknown Origin" when their
ancestor's origin is uncertain or not known.
Incorrect origins provided by testees may lead to search results that do not
seem logical. for example: Assume your ancestors are from England, but your
search results show the ethnic origin of your matches as England, France, AND
one match shows an origin of Native American. Does that mean that your
ancestors relatives may have lived in England and France? Yes. Does it mean
that your ancestor was also a Native American? No. This means that a settler in
America had a child with a Native American woman, the child was brought up as a
Native American, and that, over time, the family has "forgotten" the
European ancestor, and believe their ancestry to be Native American.
Over the span of generations people tend to move, as do borders, so nationality
or ethnicticity becomes subjective. for example, testees may enter Germany for
ethnic origin, because the land of their ancestors is Germany today, but the
land could have been held by Denmark for many centuries.
To see how your ethnic origin is recorded in our database, click on the link
above entitled Update Contact Information. You may also update your paternal
and maternal ethnic origin on the Update Contact Information page.
Exact matches show people who are the closest to you genetically. The Ethnic
origin shows where they have reported to have lived. Since many persons
migrated over the past few centuries, you will typically see matches in more
than one country.
for information purposes, the Recent Ethnic Origin search also displays results
for those who are near matches. A near match is either one step or two steps
from your result. An exact match is 12/12 or 25/25. A one step match is 11/12
or 24/25 and the magnitude of the mismatch is 1. A two step match is 10/12 or
23/25 and the magnitude of both mismatches is 1, or it is 11/12 or 24/25 and
the magnitude of the mismatch is 2. Near matches show where those who are
distantly related to you have migrated over time.
