I love this new feature of AncestryDNA!

Seems more like Ross.

I will probably order AncestryDNA. But I'm thinking also about 23andMe.

For my own personal interest you should take the ancestry dna test. Would be cool to see them from a slavo-american perspective but poles usually score extremely high on their eastern euro marker, many close to 100 percent

In DNA Land I rather score at the lower end of "North Slavic" for Polish people (I have seen almost twenty Polish results with between 50% and 86% "North Slavic", and I score 55% "North Slavic").

Not sure how would it translate to AncestryDNA categories of course, because it depends on their reference populations. By the way, do you have a list of all "components" in AncestryDNA?

For example do they count "Balkan" as part of "Eastern Euro" too?

The european components for Ancestry are

Ireland- kind of a pan Celtic component that is highest in Ireland.

Great Britain- based on England, Wales, and Scotland, probably a marker for more Anglo Saxon ancestry.

Iberian peninsula- Spain and Portugal

Western Europe- based on France, Germany, The Benelux countries, Switzerland, and Austria.

Eastern europe- includes north eastern Europe and the Balkans

Finnish northwestern russian- similar to DNA land( I score 4 % on both)

Italy and Greece- an east med admixture based on Italy and Greece.

Scandinavian- based on Sweden , Norway and Denmark

Thats it for the European components.

You'll score much higher on Ancestry DNA for eastern euro. The Eastern euro component is heavily based on Polish samples I think. Also for example, my dad scores 60% north Slavic on DNA land and scores 75% eastern euro on ancestry. I score 43% north Slavic on DNA land and 55% on ancestry. But my Finnish marker is the same on both tests at 4%.

Also for example, my dad scores 60% north Slavic on DNA land and scores 75% eastern euro on ancestry.

How much "Balkan" does your dad score on DNA Land?

I score 55% "North Slavic" plus 8% "Balkan" = 63%.

He scores nothing from balkan. I think he scores 6 percent south west European 18 % north west euro and the rest is a split between med islander and central south euro.

I score though 8 % balkan , though my parents score none. I'm pretty sure it's a pan eastern euro marker.

For example my DNA results:
North Slavic -43%
Finnish- 4.4%
Balkan- 8 %
Total: 55.4%

My ancestry results
Eastern euro- 55%
Finnish/NW russian- 4 %
Total : 59%

My ftdna results
Eastern euro- 52%
Balkan- 8%
Total:60%

So theyre all pretty even

I think DNA land needs a bit of work on their reference populations though.
