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-Wurttemberg Ellwangen, Lower Franconia, German Hesse, Upper Swabia, Baden-Wurttemberg, and Alsatian Bas-Rhin.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, Alsatian Haut-Rhin is closest to German South, Austrian Upper Austria, German Saarland, Flemish Belgium Flemish Brabant, German Baden-Wurttemberg Ellwangen, German Bavaria Lower Franconia, German Hesse, German Upper Swabia, German Baden-Wurttemberg, and Alsatian Bas-Rhin. The result places Haut-Rhin in an Upper Rhine and south Germanic comparison space.
| Population | Distance |

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.
This reference's closest matches are mainly southern Germanic and Upper Rhine references, including German South, Baden-Wurttemberg, Saarland, Hesse, Upper Swabia, and Alsatian Bas-Rhin.
Upper Rhine, south German, Austrian, and neighboring central European references can overlap strongly in G25 space.
Yes. The current reference has a very small sample size, so it is best read alongside Alsatian Bas-Rhin and nearby German regional pages.
