A focused population profile of Shetlandic, with modern genetic matches, ancestry modeling, and a World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Shetlandic is included in the World Genetics modern G25 database as a reference population. This page uses that reference average to compare Shetlandic 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 Shetlandic.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Shetlandic is Dutch Gelderland. Other nearby references include Irish, Scottish, Orcadian, and Dutch North Holland. This gives the Shetlandic profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestral breakdown below loads the best-fitting World Genetics calculator for the Shetlandic 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 Shetlandic profile a geographic shape. Warmer areas mark regions where available modern reference populations sit closer to the Shetlandic average, while cooler areas represent more distant matches.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Dutch Gelderland. Other nearby references include Irish, Scottish, Orcadian, and Dutch North Holland.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Dutch Gelderland is the closest listed match to the Shetlandic average after removing Shetlandic itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Shetlandic G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
