Gedmatch : NA is between 074 and 1.88 on most calculators apart from K36 where it 0.10(23andMe) 0.15 (FTDNA)

North/North East/West African- 1.016 average ((FTDNA) 1.18 average (23andMe).


It's obvious my ancestry is predominantly North European but the NA/North Africa ? I know of no connections ancestrally to the US but Native American US and Canada ranks 29th on my Dna tribes analysis(don't know if this is high for someone with predominantly North European ancestry) Re the North African I also know of no ancestral connections to there. In either case "noise" or deep ancestral connection?

I keep on telling people that the 23andme AC is crap. There's a calculator effect of some kind in it.

Don't know enough on the other 2 companies.

What is your actual ancestry btw?

Edit: all bold the small numbers are noise,

My actual known ancestry is English, Scottish and Irish.

I would go with that for the purpose of ruling in/out non-Euro ancestry. The AncestryDNA test should be your next step if you haven't already done it.

As I've said, first, 23andme is superior to the other two. Second, the other two are measuring different things. You can't make a direct comparison.

Longbowman, as a point of curiosity, could you tell what it is the other two companies are measuring? I ask this because of the disproportionately large amount of Western/ Central European I got from both Ancestry and Family Tree. I can't really say, except that by my estimation of the paper trail, the names, etc., I should be coming off as more British in both of those readings than I actually did. I'm sure others have also encountered this confusing discrepancy.

They both purport to measure recent ancestry but really just give you a line of best fit. Turks get Western Europe etc. It's just not as good, only a little more accurate than a GEDmatch oracle. Geno2 is basically a low K old school Dodecad run.
