With this very exciting addition, the resolution of MyHeritage’s ethnicity breakdown increases dramatically to 2,114 geographic regions, providing more depth and resolution than any other DNA test available today, and complementing the current 42 top-level ethnicities. This is a huge milestone for MyHeritage and a great step for millions of people fascinated by family history and curious to learn more about their origins.

    Helpful, ready to go back over my family’s kits.

    He’s always good.

    I agree with others – MyHeritage people are enthusiastic & show their own interest & sense of purpose in their work and presentations.

    I always look forward to his webinars!

    I am very happy, thank you!

    I came in late and it was still great

    I can hardly wait to use this feature!!!

    I considered not watching this webinar, since it was “only” about ethnicity. But I found it very interesting and realized you can drill down much further than it first appears. Great presentation!

    I fell like a learned quite a bit about ethnicigy.

    I had quickly scanned Genetic Groups, but now that I understand what’s behind the scenes, I appreciate what the story is behind the graphics. Thank you & I look forward to checking my results again. This time, with more understanding!

    I learned a lot! THANK YOU

    I understand how to use the fine details of Genetic Groups now. I see what I was missing before doing this webinar. Thank you.

    I’m not a My Heritage member, but this webinar certainly peaked my interest in joining.
