MyHeritage UPDATED

[Boudin]

MyHeritage used to be infamous for having the worst ancestry composition of any DNA company. As of the latest update, that seems to no longer be the case:

"Tiens, voilà du boudin"

This has been the best update for the French, they finally exist for MH.

Me acabo de dar cuenta que un primo de mi padre se hizo el test, me llama la atención que tengamos menos adn compartido que yo con la prima de mi padre de su lado materno o sea mi abuela.

Se hereda mas de la parte materna o es solo casualidad?

Ni idea de como funciona MH, en teoría la mitad se hereda de cada progenitor, auqnue es cierto que de los dos cromosomas del par 23, uno de ellos es bastante más largo en los hombres, no recuerdo si el Y o el X, pero eso en el caso de MH da igual.

Yo comparto un poco más con mi madre que con mi padre en MH, pero muy poco algo así como un 49.7% y un 50.3%.

Yo diría que es casualidad, debido a los "trozos" de ADN en que se fija MH para comparar.

También podría influir en que muchos trozos serán comunes, incluso aunque no sean familia.

How can you take this seriously, when they lump the Scots and Welsh together?

This is the worst update ever, especially for the French. My father used to get a relatively high percentage of 'Northern French, but now he only gets 30% "French".
The rest of his French results are scattered across different categories because they’ve included French samples in "ethnic groups" where they don't belong. It makes no sense. An "English" group should only contain English samples, not French, Dutch, or others. It’s nonsensical.

For the French, 23andme is the best.

He doesn't get any percentage of Breton?

It's just the usual nonsense for me, with my Irish being overestimated at the expense of my Scottish. Literally all DNA companies seem to do it.

And as Graham said, lumping Scottish and Welsh together is an odd choice.

Yes, this is the reupdated 2024 version I think, for me it's much more realistic and better detailed (also with groups) than 23andme's v7.0 and slightly better than Ancestry. It's NOT perfect but its the best result I have currently from a commercial DNA company presently after the recent updates. Although I think IllustrativeDNA has gotten quite good too with their analysis and accuracy. All the groups are insanely accurate, although they do overestimate English although to a lesser extent than 23 and Ancestry. Overall makes sense though and I prefer their groupings to some of 23 and Ancestry's new subregions.

I think the MyHeritage update was the only recent update that was not a letdown for me.

Also my results have only shifted a few percent since 2024.

Another fake update? :eek:

Another fake update? :eek:

If it's really from 2024 I did not notice the ability to upgrade until the other day. I don't know why it asks if you want to upgrade instead of simply upgrading.

Have you seen my kopil, lost brother? Even the Montenegrin Njegoš family came out as Vlachs?

Obrenović also Vlach, it seems you Vlachs are in full control of Serbia, poor Slavs in Serbia :(
