Ethnicity Results

Examples Of Ethnicity results from 3 companies

23andMe Most Conservative Results

Gray unknown areas Conservative View. Filled On Speculative View

Ancestry gives me 85% European. While The Other 2 Companies Give Me 90%

Regional Results Are Far Less Accurate. The Eastern European Result is Close to Accurate For My Aunt

The Autosomal DNA Results Have Some Validity. A Facebook Friend In Iran Got 100% Middle Eastern At Family Tree DNA. Many of My Non Ethnically Mixed US Matches Are 100% European

These companies are good at estimating the percentage of DNA at a continental level

Somewhat good at a regional level (e.g. Eastern Europe and Northern Europe)

They are not so good at a sub-regional level (e.g. Britain and Ireland) They are also good at estimating percentages for endogmas groups They have difficulty with trace amounts of DNA. Trace amounts may be

significant or not? I found that the results can be around 5 percentage points off I would take results within that 5 percentage points with a grain of salt The ethnicity results may provide you with some information about your

origins you didn’t know or may not tell you anything you didn’t already know?
