As most of my subscribers know, I also author the www.dna-explained.com blog. Recently, the ability for currently living people who have taken an autosomal DNA test from either Family Tree DNA (who I recommend), 23andMe or Ancestry can download their results file and compare it to the file of a Native American male who lived in present day Montana about 12,500 years ago and is associated with the Clovis culture.
We call this ancient Native child Anzick.
It was exciting when Anzick’s file was uploaded to the free (contribution) comparison site, GedMatch, because it allows anyone to compare their autosomal DNA to his. The results of doing this have produced some real surprises, and I’ve written several articles about utilizing that DNA matching ability, the resulting discoveries and what it all means.
Here’s a list of the articles. Enjoy!

Roberta:
I can’t seem to access the Clovis Anzick data on GedMatch anymore using the F999912 kit #. Have they removed the results from their database for some reason? It was working great before.
Yes, it’s now kit F999913
F999912 and F999913 do not work….now what?
Its f9999919 now
DNA European but yet I find the ancient Clovis, Montana markers in my archaic DNA result. – very odd.
Anything less that 7cm is likely by chance. 7cm is at least 50% likely to be by chance.
