That’s easy for you to say. All the records of my town was destroyed in the Pogroms.

1. Haha, my mom’s schnozz isn’t as big as my dad’s, but she definitely has cousins with some fine noses.

2. Yep. Found out by accident over the summer that my preschool teacher is my moms 3rd cousin.

1. If you want, you can PM me your GF's AncestryDNA username, I can check to see if I match with her lol.
2. I definitely need to check it out. My mother watched the series a couple of years back, but I never got around to it.

It’s not that it’s inbreedIng, but that since we descend from such a small initial population, everyone is like 8th cousins in 12 different lines. Not closely related, but just over such a long period of time.

Lol, I'm aware of the royalty yes. The Habsburgs only survived long enough because the most deformed members of their family tended to be infertile too.

This is with Force Atlas 2, but rounded out in preview mode. I've tried a couple algorithms, but it's just so incomprehensible. My mother has a total of 215,525 matches on AncestryDNA, and her DNA is so fuddled that she is practically related to everyone on both sides. My point in visualizing it (this is the highest 1,000 matches she has), is just to visualize the difficulty with this. Her Collin-Leeds is just as bad. I've tried playing with parameters and modularity, but it seems to be quite stuck.

Using DNAGedcom to collect my 100% Ashkenazi Jewish mother's DNA matches and their shared DNA matches with my mother, and using Gephi to visualize the connections, I can display how inbred Ashkenazi Jews typically are. Each dot and all its lines connect to another, and the colors are 'supposed' to represent the different branches. In a typical DNA clustering, each 'cluster' represents a single branch of the family, like a grandparent, or great grandparent, but Ashkenazi Jews tend to be so closely related to each other that there is no clear branch division, with my mother being a more extreme case.
