I am thinking of doing LivingDNA but how accurate did you find them??

Do 23andme! LivingDNA put me at 10% Celtic (from my 23andme raw data, but still, THAT'S ABYSMALLY WRONG!)

It'll be the correct results! <0.1% is trace and should be ignored.

Will I get more accurate or detailed results than this??

Well 23andme recently updates to the V5 chip, so if you really want better results that badly just re-do 23andme

But LivingDNA seems a bit shit tbh. You can consider Ancestry too, but I think 23andme is superior and more realistic (for example, ancestry claims to be able to accurately distinguish irish and british ancestry, which is pretty hard to do. FTDNA is even worse in this respect as it claims to pick up Sephardic Jewish DNA, which is just cant).

23andme is only good for data, ethnicity estimate is still shit.

I thought Living DNA did better job for me. 23&me gave me like over 60% non specific DNA. I mean really? They could only truly process 40% of my DNA. I thought Living did a better job.
