which one is more accurate ftdna or MyHeritage

[mashail]

in ftdna I am 4% Moroccan/ Algerian/Tunisian. but when I uploaded my raw data to MyHeritage it says I am almost 14% North African Moroccan Tunisian Algerian .
so which one is more accurate.
plus both my parents are shocked about the Berber origin since they are from Iraq. but I find it very cool because I like moroccan culture and food.

please share your thoughts with me

Just for the updates from both companies.

MyHeritage was better for me, ftdna was way off.. but still both aren’t comparable to 23andme. I’m also waiting for their updates

MyHeritage doesn't list any Finnish ancestry for me. Yet 23andme, Ancestry, and FamilyTreeDNA all do--and I have a HUGE number of Finnish matches.

MyHeritage also seems to grossly overestimate my English ancestry at 55%, and grossly underestimate my Scandinavian ancestry at 2%. Yet of the origins of my grandparents, 2 of them were from Germany, 1 of them was born in the USA to parents from Denmark and Sweden (I think this is where my Finnish ancestry comes from), and 1 of them was born in the USA to parents from Germany and the USA (with English/Irish ancestry).

So:

Grandparent #1 = 50% Danish / 50% Swedish
Grandparent #2 = 100% German
Grandparent #3 = 100% German
Grandparent #4 = 50% German, 50% English/Irish

And this equals 55% English and 2% Scandinavian? It also says 13.4% for North and West European and 28.5% for East European (which I do believe that my German ancestors do have some East European ancestry, as the other sites show that too). And, just to really confuse things, 0.9% Middle Eastern.

My DnaLand, MyHeritage and LivingDna results were pretty similar between them, with some surprise.

FTDNA was quite different.

When all this of covid-19 ends, I have pendig make the 23andMe test.

I don´t know which is better, but just now is 3 against FTDNA

Results were:

yeah you got ur finnish from your grandparents parents since they are Scandinavians but i think 2% is really low i dont think myheritage is accurate at all it gave me very off results but ftdna was more accurate.
14% berber that means its recent and my pearnts would know about it but 4% has to be ancient thats why my peanrts are not awaer of it.
