Am I the only person who found them equally accurate and useful? I prefer 23andMe's results, but they both provided information the other did not.
For example, 23andMe says I'm 86% French, with Brittany as my only region. Ancestry says I'm only 3% French but 48% Acadian, 25% "Southeastern England & Northwestern Europe" and 10% Devon/Somerset, which sums to 86% ancestry consistent with France/Brittany. That 35% "England/NWE/Somertset/Devon" could be Ancestry's way of depicting my Breton ancestry.
Both Ancestry and 23andMe gave me 7% Spanish/Portuguese.
23andMe gave me 0.6% Amerindian, while Ancestry (hacked results) gave me 0.72%; not much difference here either.
Basically, 48% Acadian means I am only half Cajun in the strict sense of the word. The remaining ~30% French must be Creole (again, in the strict sense of the word).
