Why does my DNA match at 0% while I have a positive Celtic Index?

Updated over a week ago

The Celtic Index is based on genome-wide similarity to cultural clusters, while individual DNA matches compare you directly to single ancient genomes. If your similarity is spread across many individuals β€” or falls below the reporting threshold for any one sample β€” your overall Celtic Index can still be positive even when individual matches show 0%.
