I'm trying to decide which one to use first. Someone told me that it would probably be more beneficial for me to use Ancestry, because 23andme would be more Euro focused. Idk.

I thought AncestryDNA would give very similar results to my 23andme, but I was pretty wrong. Here are the results I got:

23andMe:

Lol I shouldn't have that much Polynesian, could be an ancient Papuan gene component perhaps.

Although I got an email at the beginning of the 2015 year from AncestryDNA saying that updates to their DNA test are to be rolled out in the coming months of this year. But I'd probably stick to 23andMe for the time being.
