Hello everyone.
My AncestryDNA results were:
69% Great Britain
22% Europe West
5% Ireland/Scotland/Wales
Low Confidence:
3% Scandinavia
1% Finland/Northwest Russia
I downloaded my Raw DNA Data to Myheritage and FTDNA , the results were:
Myheritage:
47.8% Scandinavian
43.6% English
5.4% East European
3.2% Italian
FTDNA:
47% British Isles
46% Scandinavia
7% Southeast Europe
I think ancestrydna's results are completely different to myheritage and FTDNA's results.
My question is 'would you say East European, Italian, southeast Europe are the same as Europe West? (Would Italy and East Europe come under Europe West) I'm confused.
I've not traced any Italians in my family tree, why did this not show up in ancestry's results too?
It would be lovely to have Italian roots but could this DNA result be a mistake?
As for the high percentage of Scandinavia I suppose this could be as most of my family are from Yorkshire and east anglia, but if so wouldn't it have shown as a higher percentage with ancestry instead of 3%?
Which company would you say is the most accurate?
It would be great to hear about other people's results from different companies too, have yours been different?
Sorry for all the questions.
Thank you for reading
