Thanks mate, yeah the South Asian does look quite low for some reason, I typically get 35-40%. The components though are interesting, they point towards what I currently assume about my South Asian ancestry. About 1/8 Indian from my dad’s side and 1/4 Pak Punjabi Kashmiri (from mums), with a bit of indigenous far Northern ancestry. The African is pretty consistent with most results, but for some reason my 23 v4 chip makes it really low at 6.6%. Apart from that it’s typically 8-11%
Cool results. They Don't seem too far off from you paper trail ancestry. Did you get tested with 23andme as well?

Very interesting results.We need more people like you in this forum.
Do you know where were your Spanish grandmother from exactly?

You can upload for free but they give you only your top 4 continental regions, if you want the full thing right now it’s the equivalent of £29

My Grandma was born in Santiago De Compostela. One of her parents was also from there, the other from Castilla y León. The Iberian being East Iberia seems weird considering this

I see the Basque flag in your avatar, I thought maybe she could have been Basque or half Basque,but LivingDna use to mark Basque usually also, and being form castilla y León and Galician ancestry, your grandmother herself should have been about 5-6% basque.
Anyway cool results.

My Mt haplogroup is supposed to be Basque in origin, also my avatar is from the book version of A Clockwork Orange (unless you were referring to the banner which seems more likely now). I only just noticed the similarity in the colour scheme as you pointed it out lol

Yes, I meant the banner. I called "avatar" to all that you have there, the image and all the information above and below it.

Cheers, I feel it's mostly accurate. The only minor issues are the Iberian all being East Iberian seeing as my Spanish grandmother's family are from the North/West of the country. My French ancestry from my father's side of the family also appears to have been absorbed into this East Iberian category. The African categories are interesting but Coloured/Kleurlinge shouldn't be a category considering how mixed they are - not to mention they're exclusive to South Africa. It's a much more detailed analysis than most sites do though, so I appreciate that

Do you feel it's more accurate than Gedmatch or G25 (not sure if you did this) ? It seems to me things such as G25 are overhyped or at least the default data sheets. My LivingDNA is similar to my AncestryDNA. I don't want to highjack your thread with my info though. Basically, both AncestryDNA have me as Irish/Scottish with English admixture more or less with some Germanic admixture but in LivingDNA the Germanic is more absorbed into Scottish (e.g. small amounts of Norwegian) and English (continental Germanic). That being said that still seems more accurate than G25 which the default average of modern groups data sheet has my single closest population as Dutch and Norwegian rather than say Scottish AND it breaks down my heritage nmonte style as mostly Norwegian with some Spanish:picard2:

I’ve been meaning to get G25 for a while but haven’t gotten round to it lol
For GEDmatch it’s a bit hard to say, the oracles though are super speculative for me even the 4 way ones. I usually get modelled as something like Somali + Thai + Romanian + Indian or another off mix. My mother is biracial and has it much better on Gedmatch, her 2 way fits are very accurate with low distances. It’s impressive really. For me though, I only really pay attention to the actual values.
Livingdna does appear to absorb admixtures, you could post your result here if you want. Funny you mention AncestryDNA as it also has me at 10% or so Ireland somehow, though I do have almost 10% NWE on 23andme.

Speaking of GEDmatch, I have the same issue in some calculators, sometimes even the 3 or 2 way oracles are better for me than the 4 way ones.
Sometimes I get mixes likes English+French+Norwegian+Turkish - which is totally nonsense for me.

Yeah, it does absorb values but it's logical , though. AncestryDNA likes to tell peole they are Irish and Scandinavian it seems so it does the opposite , sometimes, I think AncestryDNA extracted Norwegian from my Scottish which shows up as Orcadian etc.. on LivingDNA. Also, I'm 25% German/French but that mostly got absorbed into the English (in both services) which makes sense because , especially, the southern English are part German/French (I don't mean simply Anglo-Saxon but straight Kraut/French) :

Oh interesting, the breakdown looks extremely detailed for people from the British Isles. Which service do you overall think is most accurate?
