A focused population profile of Alsatians from Haut-Rhin, their Upper Rhine background, closest modern genetic matches, ancestry model, and World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Alsatians from Haut-Rhin come from southern Alsace in northeastern France, near the Upper Rhine, Basel, Baden, and the Vosges. Haut-Rhin history sits between France, Germany, Switzerland, the Holy Roman Empire, French state formation, and modern Alsatian regional identity.
French is the official language, while Alsatian and related Alemannic/Germanic varieties are part of the regional heritage. This reference has a very small sample size, so it should be interpreted with neighboring Alsatian, German, Austrian, Swiss, and Flemish/Germanic references.
As a genetic reference, Alsatian Haut-Rhin is useful for comparison with German South, Austrian Upper Austria, German Saarland, Flemish Brabant, German Baden-Württemberg Ellwangen, Lower Franconia, German Hesse, Upper Swabia, Baden-Wurttemberg, and Alsatian Bas-Rhin.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Alsatian Haut-Rhin is German South. Other nearby references include German Saarland, German Bavaria Lower Franconia, Flemish Belgium Flemish Brabant, and German Baden-Württemberg Ellwangen. This gives the Alsatian Haut-Rhin profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestry breakdown gives deeper component proportions, while closest matches show modern similarity. Alsatian Haut-Rhin is best interpreted as an Upper Rhine profile, close to southern German, Austrian, Baden-Wurttemberg, Saarland, Hesse, Swabian, Flemish Brabant, and northern Alsatian references. The sample size is very small, so nearby pages matter.
The heatmap should emphasize Haut-Rhin, Alsace, Baden-Wurttemberg, southern Germany, Saarland, Hesse, Upper Austria, Flemish Brabant, Lower Franconia, Upper Swabia, and the Upper Rhine.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is German South. Other nearby references include German Saarland, German Bavaria Lower Franconia, Flemish Belgium Flemish Brabant, and German Baden-Württemberg Ellwangen.
In the current modern G25 reference set, German South is the closest listed match to the Alsatian Haut-Rhin average after removing Alsatian Haut-Rhin itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Alsatian Haut-Rhin G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
