AncestryDNA had an update in the last weeks? How did your results changed?
hey @cowlo I have had an ancestryDNA update and i'm planning to upload just a quick video on it. I also uploaded to GEDmatch and will do a video on that once I get the hang of how it works lol :)
@@mauibaya okay and i bet that your highest percentage on gedmatch next to north atlantic is baltic xD because everyone is for gedmatch like 20-30% baltic
@@cowlo9990 ok, we will see! haha
For me MyHeritage got my overall ethnicity spot-on, but Ancestry made me totally British. Ancestry's ThruLine has all of my ancestors thought, from Russia and Germany, yet still they assigned me as British.
Nice
Thank you for making the video! I previously did a dna test with AncestryDNA, and because I found out my paternal grandfather had secret family he didn’t know about, my whole family decided to do my heritage!
sounds interesting....!
That’s incredible!!! Keep it up and best of luck on your tree!!
For just ethnic dna Myheritage is good maybe? I don't doubt but for the fun of it.
I submitted a DNA sample to Ancestry. About a year later I submitted a sample to Living DNA and it was pretty consistent with the Ancestry results. While the percentages differed somewhat, which I expected, the DNA results from both tests showed my ancestors coming from the same countries. The Ancestry results said my ancestors came from Slavic and Baltic countries in Eastern Europe, Germany and Scandinavia and the British Isles. The Living DNA results said the same except it failed to detect my Baltic DNA.
About a year later I submitted a DNA sample to MyHeritage and they were really off in some important respects. They added two regions which might be erroneous--Finland and the Balkans. They said I'm about 20% more Irish, Scottish and Welsh than I actually am. They made me about 15% less Slavic than I am according to the Ancetry and Living DNA results. And, most glaringly, they didn't detect any German DNA when I may, in fact, be more German than anything else. My Ancestry ethnicity estimate said about 18% of my DNA is from Germanic Europe but it might be as much as 39%. And the Living DNA results said I'm 20% German. My maternal grandmother once told me that she was of German descent. Her father was German and English and her mother was German and Scandinavian. Her maiden name was Rinus, which is a German name. And her mother's maiden name was Zimmerman. Oh, and her great grandfather, Henry Zimmerman, listed his birthplace as Germany on several census forms in the 1880's. So I know for a fact that I had some German ancestors but MyHeritage failed to see it. That's 4 big mistakes by my count.
Their birthplace was germany, yes. But maybe they weren´t originally german far back like 300, 400, 500 years. Place of birth and genetic codes are 2 different things.
@@Stalker950-l3x I wrote that comment 2 years ago. Sometime after writing that comment, I went to the MyHeritage website. There was a section where they answer some frequently asked questions. One of the questions was something to the effect, "Why isn't my German ancestry reflected in my results." MyHeritage gave a number of possible reasons, but this is the one I remembered because it's the one that seems to pertain to me. They said that with the English race being an admixture of Celtic and Germanic people, it can be hard to tell English DNA from German DNA.
I've also learned a bit more about the haplogroups that are present in my DNA. And I've uploaded the raw data from my various DNA tests to a website named MyTrueAncestry. MyTrueAncestry compares your DNA to DNA taken from ancient remains from archaelogical sites all over the world. I can tell you that I definitely had German ancestors. They show a map of Europe with colored dots representing sites of ancient remains that were matched to my DNA. Many of mine were in Germany. The website added up all my matches and put them into categories and according to them, most of my ancient ancestors were Danish and Swedish Vikings, Ostrogoths and Goths and Anglo-Saxons.
@@meatwad1 Wow this sounds really interesting! I´ve sent my DNA test back to MyHeritage almost 3 Weeks ago. My results should arrive at the end of this month according to their website. I´m really curious what´s going to show up....
Anyways thank you very much for your explanation because it makes very much sense!
@@Stalker950-l3x In my original comment, I expressed some doubt about the accuracy of the MyHeritage results but subsequent DNA tests I've taken have shown that some of the things that I initially thought to be mistakes were probably on the mark. For example, I said I wasn't certain about MyHeritage saying I have sone Finnish DNA. Genomelink told me I have some DNA from Finland or Estonia and MyTrueAncestry said I have the haplogroup U5. Haplogroup U5 is present in Finno-Ugric people in Finland and Estonia.
Another area where I questioned the MyHeritage ethnicity estimate was where they said I have Balkan DNA. Well, the most recent update to my Ancestry DNA test added Balkan DNA to my results. I also had my DNA analyzed by Family Tree DNA and they detected some Magyar DNA, which is in the Balkans. So basically, I think the MyHeritage results were more accurate than I first thought. I think their only mistake is that they read some of my German DNA as English DNA and they read some of my English and Welsh DNA as Scottish and Irish and made me a little more Scottish and Irish than I actually am.
@@Stalker950-l3x Thank you. I'm glad I could be of help to you.
The problem with all these DNA tests at the moment is there are still not enough people in the databases. Plus of course, the tech still needs to be advanced. Until then it is always going to be pretty vague as to where your ancestors are from. I think right now, Ancestry still has the edge on accuracy but even then it doesn't really narrow it down much.
I think ancestry DNA and 23andMe only have accuracy the most for white people. But not really for people of color. Especially not 23andme. 23andMe focuses mostly on white ancestry. This is why black Americans could not even figure out where in Africa up until recently on 23andme. But 23andMe has made more advances than ancestry dna. This is why ancestry DNA still has a very low reference panel for North africa. To me my heritage seems to do poorly on europe. And this is why there's a lot of complaints with myheritage on europe. But if you're not concerned about Europe because you only get maybe 9% of Europe in the first place you're not really going to be concerned about that region. They seem to be much better with parts of Asia and africa. They seem to do better with the Middle East and North Africa as well. Those are the reasons you're looking for. Ancestry DNA and 23andMe are useless.
I did MyHeritage DNA and I got 60% Scandinavian 24% Irish, Scottish, Welsh and 15% English.
Your heritage is top!!
@@FRDavid-bj7yg what do you mean
@@rosee9252why? did you feel upset?
@@FRDavid-bj7yg No I just don’t know what you mean by top LOL. Don’t worry I’m not offended. XD
@@rosee9252 i mean your heritage is very nice! Amazing! I Always want to visit Scotland since i saw Highlander with chrstopher Lambert from 1987! And you have só many from Scotland and irish!
My Family has been in America since 1660s My brother did this test and his said we are 96% English 3% Scots 1% Balkan. Amazing how pure our bloodline was after all this time.
Incest
I guess your ancestors didn't like mixing lol
lucky man keep it nice and clean
@@noodlebob5302 “nice and clean”?
English is not a bloodline, it's a nationality based on several tribes and ethnicities who mostly came from todays Germany as Anglo- Saxons and from other germanic and celtic tribes/ethnicities.
Historically literally half of europe should be germanic .
@Lars Liam Vilhelm they're still Germanics, Franks, Frisians and Saxons are West Germanic and then you've got the Northern Germanics aswell.
Britain (Anglo-Saxons), France (germanic migrations), Spain/Portugal (Suebi, Visigoths), Italy (Lombards), Scandinavia (north germanic)… all I can think of rn
@@shaokhan2845 *English anglo saxon. Scots and the others are Celts
@@dannyjames8894 Yes but the Celts themselves originally came from central Europe which contains germany
@@ipolarisi2381 scots, Irish and Brythonic celts are still native to the British Isles, they've been there for about 5000 years.
So in a nutshell. What’s the best DNA kit for race testing ? My heritage or Ancestry DNA ???????
People say ancestry is better.
Heyy Charlotte, amazing video!!
I wish the computer screen overlay was slightly bigger so I could see better (watching on my phone) 😜
After learning about these I might do analysis of my ancestry.
Noted!
O-oo I made the same video as you but in French, 2 days ago too, myheritage comparison 23 & Me
it's funny, I love it ^^
thanks, just watched yours
Hey there. AncestryDNA has way more samples than every other site so it's likely the most accurate. My numbers were:
🏴 49% England, Wales & Northwestern Europe
🇩🇪 22% Germanic Europe
🇮🇪 19% Ireland & Scotland
🇫🇷 7% France
🇸🇪 3% Sweden
Hey, thanks for that. Interesting, my sister though ancestrydna would be more reliable too. We are similar then!
Thanks for the the video, I didn't waist money. I took the ancestry DNA test looking for viking and found none. It took me two weeks to follow up with this rumor told by our dark age noblemen. We Poles Czechs and Ukrainians are decended from the Sarmatian knights and the Amazon women. We were the very first horse people. The Roman's have busts of the Sarmatian knights faces 5000yrs ago and my family look like twins of these guys still today. They found the tombs of the Amazons 2yrs and they have our DNA.
My results on ancestry are identical country wise and pretty similar percentage to yours. Just uploaded my test to Heritage because it was free this past week. Curious how it will be.
&?
Am confused by the "English" percentage. That should be Germanic unless they are saying its a mixture of Celtic/Germanic to make "English" because thats what effectively English is.
You either have less Celtic or more Anglo-Saxon (Germanic). I'd be interested to hear how they come by the "English" percentage.
(Thats of course simplyfing thibgs a tad. But for England it was Celtic then Roman...Romano-British..Angles/Saxons/Jutes...Vikings...Normans (Viking/"French')
Totally. There shouldn’t really be English as it would be either British or Germanic or a mixture of both.
Ancestry is way better. It's not even close. My Heritage just said I was 83% Scandinavian, and 14% Iberian, like no I don't think so... Also took CRI Genetics, that was also garbage basically. Ancestry and 23 and me were the best. Relatively accurate and similar result. My heritage also said my mother was 5% black, and more German than I am even though Ancestry and 23 and me confirm that isn't the case, as my mother is only 2% German on Ancestry and I think it was 5% German on 23 and me. CRI Genetics also says I am 2.5% Filipino and 2.5% European Jewish, and 14% Italian. I am pretty sure I'm not Filipino, or that much Italian and probably don't have any Jewish in me either. So don't believe you are something just because some scam site like CRI Genetics says you are that. It's just random garbage, and really isn't close to what ancestry or 23 and me said about me. Without enough users with your DNA on their database they are using faulty and bad science to try to estimate what you are. It's a total scam I believe. Ancestry says I am 26% Germanic Europe, 19% England and Northwestern Europe, 17% Sweden, 16% Scotland, 15% Ireland, 5% Norway, and 2% Eastern Europe and Russia. The sad thing is people take a My Heritage or CRI Genetics DNA test and probably many others like Family Tree and then like really identify with that like it's life changing information when it's a complete fraud in my opinion. Ancestry is probably most accurate and 23 and me a really close 2nd. They are both really good. At this time the rest are useless in my opinion basically.
Hi @mauibaya. The map that you see (especially the one which surrounds many regions across continental Europe indicate that you have genes which can be found in people across these regions as well. Genes should be distinguished from Identities, including for 'Denmark'. The danes could have very distinguished genes between themselves too, even tho they call themselves danes. Same goes for germans, spaniards, bulgarians, norwegians, french, polish, greeks. The identity 'english' is like the identity 'british'. You can even get variations of races there under the same identity. The same goes for australians, americans, brazilians, canadians etc. Focus on the gene and not on the national name as the genes is what you want to find out.
Ok, thank you for the information
Hello, you cannot be european if you aren’t genetically european, that makes no sense. Sometimes how you self-identify isn’t sufficient
Steakly,John. Armor: “You are what you do when it counts”
I've done the FamilyTree YDNA test which is passed on the male side father to son. I haven't done the mother's side test yet but that is Irish/German/Swiss from what a cousin and uncle found on the paper trail side. We know pretty much a lot of the Sanderson side as my grandmother on my dad's side traced it back with her sisters to early settlers in Vermont when it was still a British settlement years ago. The leap back to the Massachusetts Bay Colony was easy as we know all the descendants of the settlers who first came over from England. And I have done other work on it since that shows the first Sanderson settlers to Watertown likely came from Higham Ferrers in Northamptonshire. A pro-genealogist early last century thought we were from there as well. The English Civil Wars makes finding some records hard as Higham Ferrers had no vicar for more than ten years (he was removed in 1641) so no complete church records and some they did have had pages torn out of the register at one point. I'm probably of Norman descent as the Sanderson name started around Durham which was heavily Norman which has Viking heritage besides French. Maybe we are distantly related.
Interesting, maybe we are!
Cool results! I am from America and just got mine back! 47.1% Irish, 5.9% Scandinavian. 15.6% East Europe, 7.3% Balkan. 15% Jewish. 6.8% Italian. 2.3% West Asian. Wish they broke it down more.
Nice, that is an interesting mix! Yeah, hopefully with time it will go into more detail.
I'm trying to find the most precise one, region wise. I am 99% confident I'm Persian. Even down to the town on both sides of my parents.
So getting a dna test that paints it with a broad brush will be boring. Anyone know which is the more precise one?
Myheritage is currently the mest ackurate with the new genetic groups
Ancestry Dna seems alot more accurate. People find their family on their and was very accurate with my results
Just got my results from myHertiage I told everyone since I was a kid I was part Native American turns out I have 0 traces of DNA from them..
Ah that's too bad! Haha what did you come out as?
@@mauibaya Mainly Nigerian and Irish
@@muiscnightso not quite native american haha
I heard that my heritage, ancestry and 23andme have no native American data base so that could be the reason.
These tests are often easier for Europeans than for people from the US or Asia
ha ha same. I was supposed to be french/spanish. Im none of that😂
What's this thing you've got about being Scandinavian?
True Briton, Saxon, Celtic, be proud..🇬🇧🇬🇧
Ok
saxons are gae losers
@@j99044 Saxons, right that's racist, gay, that's homophobic...
Stop being an internet troll, get a job and a life...
Has it updated yet? My heritage says im 33% scandinavian but reviewing others results im kind of skeptic
Look at the intersection. The only place it intercepts the 3 layers is south of England. That's where your DNA is most relevant.
I guess one does not have to go more and more specific as its getting hard to distinguish the “similar” ethnict generally. On top of that its about the clustering, i.e. the Irish, Scott and Welsh in MyHeritage whilst English and Welsh at My Ancestry.
Honestly i'm not surprised by the difference beetween the two results because My Heritage DNA assemble the welsh origin with irish ans scotish origin and MyAncestry DNA assemble the Welsh origin with the english origin, that's make your results seems like different but they are not. And about the 5% norwaygian that no appears on Myheritage i think it reveals the failure of the informatic system that study our DNA, and it's not shocking at all.
Yep I agree with this, probably a waste of time 🤣
I did my heritage dna test
And it show me something that is impossible. I got a 3.1 Japanese. im native mixed with north african but not asian.
My results were so boring 89% central Asian
7% east Asia and 4% Baltic
that's not boring! haha but they could have been more specific
This too general :(
Upset about not having Africa? Is there a specific reason
means i'm an alien
Hi my heritage one.., how do I send it off do I post it or take it to a post office? I’m a bit confused
I know a person who his family migrated from many countries due to war and they're not quiet sure about any of the family history because his parents can't read. He wants to trace back his ancestors which site do you think is the best to know which countries he originated from?
(i apologize if my English is not correct)
i'm not sure which is better, I think they are all just different so it is difficult to know!
but any of them will give you a rough idea
Without getting my head in a twist, or anybody elses, from MyHeritage adding England + NW Europe 41.3 + 11.4 = 52.7 % and subratcting that from Ancestry DNA's 59% : 59 - 52.7 = 6.3% Welch. But when you subtract Ancestry DNA's 26% (Ireland/Scotland) from MyHeritage's 47.3% (Ireland/Scotland/Wales) you get 21.3% Welch. Hmm . . .
"no African still, which I'm very sad about"
What? How would you feel if your descendants were sad about being your descendants and not someone else's?
Now that is sad in my opinion.
Why would you want African DNA? You're a beautiful White woman. Don't forget

Okay I’m excited to see my results, dna tests are 99.9% accurate unless you do it wrong. They do, do Norway samples but it just comes up as ‘Scandinavian’ for all 3 countries! If your results doesn’t say that then you must not be.
yep, in my other video it did but not in this one!

You probably have strong Celtic ancestry your not that English geneticlyq
probably! I've never even visited Scotland or Ireland :o
Does the MyHeritage DNA test show names of ancestors too??
-Thank you guys
if people related to you have taken the test and opted to put their info public then it will show you those people yes
otherwise you need to do a family tree
Could we start our own family tree ???👀
Facebook and Google told me to say "thank you" for your DNA :-)
they're welcome :)
I hope you are just joking because it is a useless and untrue comment.
Myhertiage said 100% chinese and vietnamese but not saying which aprt in china or vietname i from, so I feel like i need to ancestry to confirm which part i am from and may find some less than 0.1% dna ezcept chinese because I found many euopean 5th cousin.
Does anyone know if you have to pay to upload raw DNA results to myheritage? I was stuck on wether to use that or ancestry and thought by choosing ancestry I could use the results on myheritage aswell.
It’s $29 to see your ethnicity breakdown unless they are having some sort of special offer.
Yes you have to pay £30 ish

I already know my ancestors where English with a few distant relatives from long ago from Scotland. I feel it is pointless, unless you are adopted to have a general place in the world where your DNA is from.
In fact you know nothing. That´s the actual case. We´re all mixed, especially the english people.
The English is Scandinavian and Frisian. The tribe Angles came from the South of Danmark and the Jutes from Jutland in Denmark.
The Saxons from Frisia and the German borders close to Denmark.
The finds in graves at Sutton Hoo and in Kent shows also close contact to Sweden during the migration period.
The DNA test is close in time but if you go little bit more back in to the centuries. The English and the Scandinavians are the same Germanic people. So you can say the Scandinavians are English and British. And vice versa 👫♥️🇬🇧🇸🇪🇩🇰🇮🇸🇳🇴🇦🇽♥️
What about the Britons, which were in the majority?
@@johnpatrick5307 The Celtic and the germanic people is close related to one another thought the warriors of the Yamnaya. The Indo-European how conquer the whole of Europe at horse's and with waraxes as grim weapons.
They where very tall people and very large build with athletic body's.
Almost over 20 cm longer then the smaller men in Europe at that time.
They where over 1,80 i cm in general like vikings and modern Scandinavians in height.
The should almost had killed every male and take over the women's all over Europe beside Bask country and the island of Corsica in the middle terrainen sea.
The Scandinavians have more precent of gens from the Yamaha and the Celts little more less.
You more south you go in Europe than lower of the gens from the Indo-European Yamaha.
So the Brittions and the Scandinavian share about half of their gens back to the Yamnaya how conquer Europe about 4000 years ago.
So we are very close family you can say.
