Depends on what you consider to be worth it. It's definitely accurate but a lot of Portuguese have been scoring 100% Iberian or close in the update that happened in October. Did you get the health package too?

I just purchased the whole test but I purchased it with health + ancestry. I've done FTDNA, AncestryDNA, and 24Genetics so far.

Imo It's worth it :) anything specific you're hoping to learn from 23andme? :thumb001:

Congratulations!

I think is worth it, since you can evaluate your ancestry from a different approach other than that on other tests you already made, and you can have a more complete picture of your background.

I did both Ancestry DNA and 23andme.

Nothing particularly, the health segment will be interesting. I probably won't be surprised by the results b/c my dad and mom, and siblings already did the test so I think it is my time to as well so I can compare. :)

True! Also the raw DNA for 23andMe is the best I've heard.

I don't think the gedmatch results differ much from those from Ancestry. But since you say that, from now on, on different threads about genetic results, I will post my gedmatch results with my 23andme raw data (I most frequently have used the results with my Ancestry raw data :p)

Thought 23andme is the most legit, but it proved me wrong lately XD

That will be awesome. Does it show mtdna for a male that does the test? I assume only a woman can find it out, and then they'd need a male to find their y-dna? Could be wrong lol.

You will get both reports because guys have XY chromosomes, I will just get mtdna lol

Oh right! But based on what I saw my parents get they just get very simple haplogroups which I already know. I’d have to do more expensive tests for more elaborate results
