Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Unexpected DNA matches on My Heritage
« on: Saturday 24 September 22 02:07 BST (UK) »
I have a known Jewish great great grandmother and on My Heritage get a huge number of Jewish matches. My Heritage is an Israeli company and very popular in those countries hence their (I believe) overrepresentation in my matches.
They are also likely to be overrepresented because they are from an endogamous community, which can make distant matches share more DNA with each other than would be expected for the relationship.
