MyHeritage ethnicity estimate is just the worst in the market. Besides, their raw data is quite good and I know you broke down your DNA with several other calculators, but I'd add the fact that these calculators will show which populations are the closest to you and what combination can (or actually do) make up your background, but they rarely give exact percentages of your ancestry by modern nationalities/ethnicities etc (esp. considering that you're mixed) as 23andme does, for example.Quote:

Mine is R1b.
Yes I Know MyHeritage is not perceived as good. Unfortunately 23andme and My Ancestry are not available in Brazil.Quote:

Never heard of anyone who did it with them, but I know they don't provide raw data. If I were to make a DNA test today, I'd choose Genera, I think it's the best and cheapest one in Brazil today, or even import a DNA test from Family Tree DNA. I read somewhere that Genera has a parnership with FTDNA, don't know if their test is the same, but FTDNA is surely more expensive, especially nowadays (dollar).Quote:

I will take a look at Genera. But in my case I think MyHeritage was alright, they detected my south italian part perfectly for example, as well as iberian. Nothing seems missing and nothing stick out as absurd.Quote:
