Converting centiMorgans into percentages. In order to get an approximate percentage of shared DNA from a Family Tree DNA Family Finder test, take all of the segments above 5 cM, add them together and then divide by 68. The way the calculation works is that your total genome in cMs with the Family Finder test is 6770 cM.
Confidence thresholds in Ancestry Composition. For each section of your DNA, Ancestry Composition assigns a probability to each reference population for a given segment of DNA. We assign populations at five different confidence levels ranging from conservative to speculative. You can select the confidence at which these populations are assigned within the Scientific Details section of Ancestry Composition. The default Speculative Estimate corresponds to 50% confidence. You have the option to make the estimate more strict, meaning that the interpretation shown is more likely to be accurate.
