[QUOTE=Bostonia;5746489]For Standard Sub-Regions I get

Yes it does. I'm mostly descended from British settlers to the US and I've been able to trace families back to several of the regions they isolated. For example my paternal grandmother was born in Suffolk, and Southeast England shows up pretty strongly. It helped me because I really wanted to know about the British tribes I may be descended from, so I was able to research specific regions instead of just "England".

This is the only test I've ever taken that shows it, but I did find out that my mtDNA haplogroup traces back to that region; it's very prevalent in a place called Dagestan. But it did throw me off; Asia doesn't factor into any of my other DNA test results.

I think there is a Finnish connection somewhere; Finland shows up in a very small amount on my DNALand test and my 23andMe test. So that would make sense. No idea how it got there though! I haven't found any immigrants in my paper trail from Finland or Russia or Asia.

Oh nice, good luck then. I've heard mixed reviews about them online with a lot of people saying if you email them, you'll get the results sooner. It seems like some people's data or tests fall through the cracks for some reason. Seems like organizational failure to some degree. But my results fell in line with everything else I had already learned, so for me it was worth it to have the detailed regional results.

Ah, I see okay. I haven't found any ancestors that I can tell came from there, but someone obviously did. My mom's maternal line dies out too soon for me to ascertain country of origin, and since the haplogroup is so prominent there (at least according to LivingDNA) I think it must be along that line.

Wish I could answer this question. The complete mode has Germany grouped with Scandinavia roughly at the same percentage, zooming into subregional I get 6% German and 3% Scandinavian but here for some reason it's all sucked up into Orkney.

I heard there's gonna be an update in the following months so hopefully results will make more sense by then..

"Hi from Living DNA,

Thank you very much for uploading your data to Living DNA.

Unfortunately, we have encountered a problem with your file and cannot proceed with the analysis in Family Matching or Ancestry Estimation. Therefore, the status of your upload has now been set to "Not Proceeding".

Please log in to your Living DNA account and upload a new file. To make sure your data will be accepted, please download a new copy of the data from the company you tested with.

At the moment, we only accept Autosomal DNA data (not Y, MT or X). We can only work on downloaded data that hasn't been modified or edited in any way. This also means that we cannot analyse files that have been put through any third party tools. We also do not accept GEDmatch files.

You can find the guide to uploading your data here. Please be sure that your data is in the correct format before uploading it.

We are sorry for any inconvenience caused.

I dunno, what you mean. LivingDNA started out as only a high definition British only service then it only expanded to other countries as an afterthought. I think it is highly accurate for people that are 100% British isles or are at least 75% British isles with the 25% being a non-Wog Germanic continental tribe. For instance, I have ancestry that is like Danube Swabian and Frankish from Alsace-Lorraine and both Frankish tribes and Swabians in the form of the ancient tribe the Swaefas invaded England in Swaffham in England so it shows up as East Anglian in my results which I find highly useful because it integrates that 25% with my 75% British isles in a British context. I find this to be extremely accurate although in the case of Ireland they don't break down the regions I don't think :

I already told you my opinion. Their technology was first meant for only British people then they expanded to other ethnicities. That likely means their British ethnicity tools are the most highly developed so it is probably only good for British people. It is only natural for me to feel that my opinion is most probably correct.

I used AncestryDNA raw data too. Anyway, yeah, most Irish people have some English admixture and/or Scottish admixture that is part of the reason why the Irish are so distinctive looking because if they were part German or Dutch or French they would look less distinctive IMHO. What I mean by less distinctive is more continental looking. I think LivingDNA is picking up real English and Scottish admixture in your case.

I would guess the Welsh also look less continental compared most of the British Isles. A more old school population.

Welsh invaded Ireland too mostly during the Norman era they were known as Cambro-Normans. I would guess Welsh left the least impact though.

The only knock on Living DNA is that it doesn't seem to have Irish regions like AncestryDNA and 23andMe

That is because AncestryDNA targets American users who think Ireland is this super special place with a super significant political and historical history when it reality Ireland is a marginal backwater. To be fair though LivingDNA only does English, Scottish and Welsh regions because it is a British company not American company and Irish people are not British. Let me guess AncestryDNA gave you some percentage of Scandinavian too ? LOL

Americans are ignorant of geography and history so they think Ireland is more important than it is.

Not really. The problem with these commercial tests is they breakdown your ancestry but don't give you a single closest population like GEDmatch and G25. I consider myself Scottish because mainland Scots are halfway genetically between the native Irish/Welsh on the onehand and the British/Germanics on the otherhand but there is no one Scottish genetic cluster there are like 6 or 7 with the certain parts of Western Scotland being more 'Irish' than other parts. That is because the Irish founded Scotland by colonizing Dal Riada :

I don't know who he is so no idea. Being from Newcastle he likely has recent Irish/Scottish/Welsh ancestry, as many from Northern industrial towns do. Native Northeast English are also more Brittonic than average English.

LivingDNA seems pretty accurate for people of fully British Isles ancestry, it is for my family.

Well we wouldn't exist if our ancestors didn't do what they did. A lot of my father's side went to the US and even some of my mother's but hers were further back so more distant. My parents wouldn't have met if my mother didn't end up in Roscommon where she went to work and also if my father didn't go back to Ireland. He went to the UK when he was 15 but returned to Ireland when he was older after being in the RAF.

Bump to old thread.

Has anybody either Jewish or middle eastern done My Living DNA before? I have the free account and this is one of the first programs that actually separates out the European vs Middle eastern components of Ashkenazi DNA. I'm wondering what the populations would be but don't know if it's specific enough to be worthwhile paying $48US when I've already done 23andme. Also - would the African be noise or legit (ie North African

If you couldn't hack it in the UK, the best move was to wait it out and migrate to a second tier Anglo country circa 1960s. That way you can achieve a somewhat middle class life style in no time. I wish my great grandfather had held out on the move to Boston and waited 50 years for the beaches of Australia.

It seems accurate, the African don't know if it's North Africa (It would make more sense) or SSA (Very likely just noise). You would have to find out paying the full results, that Imo it's worth.

Living DNA estimates seems some what accurate but don't give me negro admixture.

With Ancestry raw data has me at 57% European and middle eastern and 42% Native Mexican

With FTDNA raw data at 59% European and Mena and 40% Native Mexican.

I've posted my results from them before, imo they are not bad at all for an upload, fairly accurate, but could give better information. Although the assignments made sense for the most part, they seem to have trouble distinguishing between some of my French and my British Isles ancestry as in the proportions are a bit off from being realistic. Although my estimate has improved with the updates, although I found it odd to get around 4% Arabia must be acting as a proxy assignment maybe. I actually do like their relatives tool and chromosome browser a fair bit though. They also underestimate my Irish a lot which seems to be a common issue, although there could be explanations for this but please don't say it's because my ancestor wasn't Irish or because I don't know my genealogy I won't put up with bullshit rude comments like that anymore, thank you.
