I got one for Xmas. Got my results a few weeks ago

Irish 77%
Scandinavian 14%

Basically it proved I am Irish and the people who invaded Ireland

Obviously clone you and then steal your identity and ruin your credit score.

I want to say $90-100, but it was a present, I didn't buy it. My mom has been doing genealogy since I was a little kid in the 90s, so she wanted it.

I did both 23andme and ancestry. the results weren't quite the same, but I think it's because they use different reference populations

Fuck that shit. How do you know they won't clone you and then kill you and have the clone replace you? You don't.

I don't think it's nearly as specific as the European ones, but you could find the region. Let me check the site for you, I can see all the regions.

It seems about the same from examples i've seen. It can give a basic geographical region/group

I just looked myself. ancestrydna seems to be better for african ancestry than 23andme

How about for Asians? I did ancestry and it just lists East Asian for me when I know it's some kinda Chinese Viet mix. It also gave me Polynesian which I didn't expect never did 23 and me

23andme has these for asian
https://i.gyazo.com/e6470c6378e993c5ea990066921c3f85.png

oceanian only has "broadly oceanian", whereas ancestry has is it broken down between melanesian and polynesian

seems ancestry only has south, east and central asian

so 23andme seems to be a little better for asian

these tests pick up minority groups pretty well.
where they dont work to well is regions within a continent.


dna ancestry testing has a long way to go before it become accurate believe me.
I have read a lot of posts, where people are pissed at their results for being 5 or 10% off to what they "know".
for example: british people gaining or losing scandinavian percentages.

Native American is absolutely an either/or situation with these tests. There's no ambiguity as with some European regions.
