there's actually a box around the DNA. In that spot not only
do all three of those matches match me but they also all

share with nobody really for the most part. So, going back,
are related and so whenever you're looking at your matches
may not share with any people and for the fourth person,
match each other and that is called triangulation. And what

people because then there's some other information that's
that chromosome we share DNA. So looking right here I can see

segments that they may only share with one person or they

as I go down the page there's going to be chromosome by

just to start see how that overlaps with whatever

everything is shared all the way across I'm going to jump

that I don't share. The next thing on this list is the

where in the world these are located so if I wanted to look
to look at some of my other matches, there may be some

the ones that my heritage does an analysis on and there are a

above the map it's going to go through your family tree and

that you can do is if you have a family tree already on my

provide some information about whatever shared ethnicities we
in common with somebody else. So, if you know how you're
related, then, likely, you both share a common ancestor through
the DNA matches. Now, in the DNA matches, this is going to
tell me what the estimated relationship is and in this
first several ones, they're all mean. That's because I've

much you match. Then, it's going to have what is called

things in other parts of Europe. There's some down in
that really covering compared to like the Balkan or the

don't know a whole lot but you maybe have some bits on your
Baltic or just the East European now the next thing
I've a lot of data that shows that I have some ancestors that
really anything in my family tree that even comes close up
to the finish area and the same with the Middle East, I don't
it's going to plot out where certain events and certain

from so here's the Middle East being highlighted here is the

going to go to next now this is going to break down that basic
ethnicity results of mine with how many of my matches have
want to you can actually see all supported ethnicity so all
see that hey I have what they already told me that English
the map it's going to highlight the region of where that is
Scandinavian or the Finish that's being highlighted and
Scottish finish and as I hover over each one you can see on
data into a little bit more detail and as we go down we can
overview so let's go into some of these others now across the
going to be English as well and then there's also a lot that
ethnicity is English and so the majority of my matches are also
that same amount. So you can see the majority of my
that I share some amount of DNA with. It also breaks down the
amount in Great Britain and Australia and Canada and New
Hong Kong or the United Arab Emirates or even one from
lot of my matches in the United States but there's a fair
Zealand as well. And then I have scrolling down some from
distant relatives. It also shows you some locations of
Turkey. Um one from Peru, one from Guam all over the world
top here we have the ethnicity estimate and that's we're
are in the Irish Scottish so again this is just a brief
where those matches are. So you can see that yeah I've got a
DNA might have been from. You can see that mines from English
from Irish Scottish and from a couple of others. Then there is
DNA data and order DNA kits let's start with the overview
and the others just at a quick glance. So for instance there
going to be your DNA matches. How much of those are close
family? How much are extended family and how much might be
going to give you really the bits of information that we can
is an ethnicity estimate that tells you roughly where your

options so we have the overview the ethnicity estimate DNA
that you're going to get and if we go up to the DNA and just
