For instance - in MyHeritageDNA, when you click on DNA, then Overview, the page opens with your ethnicity estimate and relationships with your DNA Matches. I have:
* 1 Close Family
* 3 Extended Family
* 8,051 Distant Relatives
The next section is Locations of my DNA Matches. Here is my map:
I can click on any country on the map or in the list and see which of my DNA matches reside in that country.
The next section is Ethnicities of my DNA matches (two screens below):
I'm not surprised that I have DNA matches with any of these regions, but find it fascinating that I have DNA matches with partial Nigerian, Japanese and Korean, and Polynesian ethnicity.
I have, according to MyHeritageDNA, 1.1% Mesoamerican and Andean DNA, and have 143 DNA matches that share that ethnicity. I wonder if any of them are close cousins on the specific chromosome that I have that ethnicity.
