    If 23andme is a waste of money then so is everything else. Atleast it has a Balkan category.
    Balkan category is just as bad as any other to be honest, and it's used by them basically to simplify ones ancestry profile. Why we score the highest is still beyond me. Here is what the sample is composed of (my profile):


    They have as much Maltese as Albanians in there lol

    I have seen Albanians on FTDNA MyOrigins do score about 20% 'Asia Minor', but it's inaccurate because it's the same for everyone. FTDNA's 'MyOrigins' ethnicity estimate is supposed to be updated, so I expect this to change and be assigned more properly. In addition to finding autosomal relatives, one can can download their raw data and upload to GedMatch to see how they compare to other people, no matter where they tested.
    Are you suggesting that autosomal testing is not reliable with FtDNA? I heard that for y chromosome results is much better though.

    Not that their autosomal is unreliable, but rather their ethnicity make up calculator seems not to be optimized. I think some Southern Euro component their calculator simply assigns as "Asia Minor". I see Bulgarians score over 30% "Asia Minor" there.

    As far as Y-DNA goes, they are as good as it gets... I think they should lower the pricing on their Y-DNA STR tests though, considering YSEQ now offers 37 markers for $85: https://www.yseq.net/product_info.php?products_id=34

    Very interesting results. Quite typical for a "tico" of Central Valley (predoninantly euro), I think.

    No problem, but actually i think my results could be similar to Potentia results. For the moment i just have "ancient origins" so i'm waiting for my origins maybe in the next hours.
