FTDNA, for a limited time, is offering free transfer of 23andme and AncestryDNA raw data. It should be interesting to see a different perspective on our DNA results.

Here is the link: https://www.familytreedna.com/autosomalTransfer?atdna=kMrjK5bZbeL5az%2f6lDBjBA%3 d%3d

Do it while you still can! :D

Bear in mind, however, that it will cost you about $40.00 to purchase your results. It's a lot better than $102.00, though.

They only accept V3 chip datas from 23andme (before October 2013). I don't see the point anyway, even if it's possible to download the raw ftdna datas, you just pay for an average AC's calculator. It's like testing the same person from 3 different companies, same raw data mostly. 23 is usually even a tad better on genotype rate.

For people of mixed ancestry like myself, AncestryDNA and FTDNA show very different results. So no, not pointless at all.

Your interpretation of their AC, is different. Your datas and results on real calculators, are exactly the same at noise level accuracy.

With Ancestry you can't even run your own autosomal, the datas are not compatible. 23's AC is by far the best imo, it only needs the right interpretations. Im under the impression people like Ftdna better just because it gives Scandinavian origins to pretty much anyone, when 23 integrates the ancestral part that most Euro have in other big NW clusters, given there s not any really recent ancestry. Hence why you get some oddities like an English with 100% Brit and no scando and a Sicilian with a couple of percent, but borderline Euro. Again, clusters are composed of many things.

Technical datas also shows a slight advantage for 23's chip apparently.

I transferred my AncestryDNA results to FTDNA due to the fact that a lot more Finn's have utilized their services than AncestryDNA. AncestryDNA gave me a better representation of my origins than FTDNA. Therefore, if you're not looking to connect with long lost relatives, I believe it's a waste of your time. ;)

Yes, it is. The 23andMe ancestry composition is horrible for Slavs since it radically reduces Eastern European result for us with the fake Balkan category. The Balkans is made up of Eastern Europeans and Mediterranids. I show 50% Eastern European and 50% Mediterranean on AncestryDNA, the same on FTDNA. While on 23andMe I show 85% Southern European and just 6.6% Eastern European! 23andMe is not a good test for Eastern Europeans/Slavs.

Interesting.

I get a good amount of Balkan on 23andme (very much above noise level) but I get less East Med on GEDmatch than the typical Scandinavian gets! So maybe by Balkan it means Slavic?

Balkan doesn't mean anything otherwise Albanians and Greeks are pure Slavs. :laugh: I'd rely on other tests like AncestryDNA, FTDNA or various tests on GEDMatch if you want an accurate approximation of your Eastern European/Slavic.
