A focused population profile of German-American Pennsylvania, with modern genetic matches, ancestry modeling, and a World Genetics G25 heatmap.
German-American Pennsylvania is included in the World Genetics modern G25 database as a reference population. This page uses that reference average to compare German-American Pennsylvania with other modern populations in the database.
The label should be read as a population reference name rather than a complete description of every individual, family, language, region, or community history connected with German-American Pennsylvania.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for German-American Pennsylvania is German-American Wisconsin. Other nearby references include Anglo-American Hawaii, Anglo-American Wisconsin, Anglo-American South Dakota, and German-American North Dakota. This gives the German-American Pennsylvania profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestral breakdown below loads the best-fitting World Genetics calculator for the German-American Pennsylvania average. It should be read as a model of deep ancestry components, while the closest-match table is the better guide to which modern populations are most similar in G25 space.
The heatmap gives the German-American Pennsylvania profile a geographic shape. Warmer areas mark regions where available modern reference populations sit closer to the German-American Pennsylvania average, while cooler areas represent more distant matches.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is German-American Wisconsin. Other nearby references include Anglo-American Hawaii, Anglo-American Wisconsin, Anglo-American South Dakota, and German-American North Dakota.
In the current modern G25 reference set, German-American Wisconsin is the closest listed match to the German-American Pennsylvania average after removing German-American Pennsylvania itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the German-American Pennsylvania G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
