Hi!
So, I tested at Myheritage and then uploaded it here. The results vary, to say the least.
Myheritage: 83,3 % North and western Europe
13,6 % Scandinavia
1,7 % Ireland, Scotland, Wales
1,4 % Ashkenazy Jew
FamilytreeDNA: 52% Scandinavia
29 % Eastern Europe
15 % West and central Europe
3 % Iberia
1% Ashkenazy Jew
I´m fully aware that this is not an exact science, and that different companies use different reference group, etc, but I can´t help wondering how it´s possible to get 29% Eastern Europe here and nothing at Myheritage...
Familytree is closer to the truth when it comes to the Scandinavian bit, my mother is "100%" Swedish. My father is a mixture of Danish, German, Austrian, Jewish and Swedish.
Also, when it comes to the Jewish heritage, since my father is approx. 12,5 % I would have expected that percentage to be a bit higher. At least I have lots and lots of Jewish DNA matches. Maybe someone more experienced in here have something wise to say about my results. Thank you in advance :-)
