For me I would say LivingDNA. 23andme gave me too much unassigned and ancestry was just way off. I also dont really trust GedMatch and take it with a grain of salt

The ones I used in the other thread. Gedmatch was basically spot-on regarding your general racial background (Euro/Caucasoid, Amerindian, African).

Either 23andMe or LivingDNA

I am tottaly agree with you. Anyone that want to be sure about hes background just go to your close relative take their kit run in the calculator you like . Like 5-6 close relative with same nation like a full germans and see their result copy them and do the same in all of your known ancestry. Then you will see maybe you full german or maybe you half british and half german and maybe like in my case that I got 8% from other population with higher eastern european roots. Thats the way. And about this testing I think 23andme are the best they have good data base

For european all eurogenes are the best for middle eastern/north africans Dodecad. And for west asian central asian and asian Inthink Harrapaworld are the best. Also MDLP project good but they doesnt have much snps in the calculator

i'm surprised anyone got accurate results with LivingDNA. it gave me 13% Near East (south caucasus and Iran)

Do you have Gypsy ancestry from Romania? I got 6% south caucus but it made sense because I am half Italian.

23and me has overworked their calculator heavily. So they usually don't show any significant signs of recent "outside" admixture. It's not perfect but a good way into the right direction.
