Excellent work!.
There's one thing to keep in mind: in Latin America, people's origins are often linked to their social group membership. Generally speaking (there are exceptions, of course), the more European they are, the higher is their position on the social scale . Genetic testing is expensive and unaffordable for the poorest.
Gedmatch results would be closer to reality in countries with a larger middle class (Uruguay, Argentina, Chile, Costa Rica, perhaps Puerto Rico).

how did you gather all those kits? also you used a script to automatize the runs right?

Brazil is the most genetically diverse country in the world because we are a very big, complex and diverse population, all regions have different compositions with different origins among the presence of the Brazilian Portuguese ethnic core and different rates and proportions of admixtures, in some regions we can find a good proportion of 100% European, Asiatic, African or Amerindian populations still growing because the Brazilian population has grown a lot in the last 100 years,

I have gathered them together with users Argentano and BirdMan from another forum.

It took us a few years to gather so many kits! Argentano gathered the most of the three of us.

We ran all of them through Eurogenes K15 and based on this calc we established admixtures.

Genetic testing is expensive and unaffordable for the poorest.

Yes I agree that Amerindians, Indo-Mestizos and Blacks are probably underrepresented in our samples.
