Different results from transcribing AncestryDNA results onto MyHeritage.

[Demokkkrat]

I’ve heard MyHeritage is not that accurate anyways but I decided to see how different the results would be if my AncestryDNA results were uploaded to MyHeritage. These are the results:

Ancestry (As of now):
48% Ireland
44% Eastern Europe and Russia
5% Baltics
2% Sweden and Denmark
1% Norwegian

MyHeritage:
35.0% North and West European
31.3% Irish, Scottish, and Welsh
17.5% Eastern European
16.2% Baltic

It seems to me that the genetic groups MyHeritage tend to be broad and overlapping with each other. Has anyone else done something similar to me?

I have, when i took ancestery raw dna to myheritage, i got more Balkan etnicitet then with just MH, i did not get new regions but the result was a bit diffrent, with ancestery my East Europe got higher ,my Greek and south italy got higher and my Balkan reduced quite much

The regions I got were mostly the same as ancestry except for more broad Central and Western European groups that are mostly found in America and other Anglophone nations, hence the likely explanation for the higher ‘North and West European’ DNA percentage.

Myheritage uses imputation for missing SNPs when you transfer raw file (each company tests its own set of SNPs), which leads to different results and bunch of false matches. Thats the reason 23andme and Ancestry dont accept raw files from other companies, since imputation method is not that reliable.
Closest raw to original MH is FTDNA.
