Yeah, I don't think it's 100% accurate. It doesn't show my Irish, or Spanish which I know I have.

Central American is not necessarily a 100% Amerindian component.

My all ancestry living in balkans (maternal more than 700 years according to ethnicity history, paternal more than 240 years according to records.)

I got 0% balkan in MyHeritage.

The category "Central American" on MyHeritage stands for Spanish and Native American mix, like colonial heritage.

They do not specify how much Spanish and how much Amerindian, just put them together when they're product of colonial admixture.

IMO it's stupid because it doesn't allow Latin Americans who are mixed to know their results in detail.
