A lot of this east Europe should be Iberia. I just feel like this result is a bit off of the reality. Other calculators show a lot of west/Central Europe, but for me (and for now), being west/east European means nothing if Iberia is not there. I also think that the North African part is exaggerated (9%).

You really have dutch ancestry? how do you know? northeast Brazil or Olambra? I've always heard tales of having Dutch ancestry too, but my "Brit isles", former central-west euro, is probably my azorean side, flemish, as I have seen in my family tree that I have Van der Haegen (da Silveira) among other surnames..
I wonder if that could be a combo of Flemish and very little Dutch, because 21%, or 23 as it was is very a very big chunk..

I should've got more ME also as one friend of mine got 42% Southeastern Euro and an additional 8% ME, while she always comes out more northern than me (southern Lazio and British).

I didn't test on FT so only my dad's update:

He's 50% Burgundy+Isère and 50% Swiss (1/4 French/German + 1/4 Lombardy), it's somehow accurate but what the hell FTDNA, East Europe is not counted as European? Since when xD

Maybe because it's trace region.
But in my case trace region wasn't counted. I was 100% European (97% East Euro, 3% SE Euro). And my one trace region was West Middle East (not summarized).

Yes i guess that's the reason, still their system doesn't make sense. Trace regions should be counted as Euro if it is and non Euro if it isn't.

Italian:

75% European
71% Southeast Europe
2% East Europe
2% Finnish

20% Asia Minor

5% Ashkenazi

Bulgarian:

84% Southeast Euro; 9% East Euro; 7% Scandinavia 2% of South America

Maltese:

Middle Eastern 20%

-------------

Asia Minor (Turkey) 12%
East Middle east 0%
North Africa 8%
West Middle east 0%

European 80%

-----------------

British Isles 10%
East Europe 0%
Finland 0%
Scandinavia 0%
South East Europe 55%
Iberia 9%
West and Central Europe 6%

Jewish diaspora

Ashkenazi 0%
Sephardic 0%

Italian:

My new myOrigins:
(N. Italian ancestry)
- Southeast Europe: 44%;
- British Isles: 19%;
- Iberia: 18%;
- East Europe: 10%;
- Scandinavia: 6%.
Trace results:
- Ashkenazi: <2%

Better than before, but not by much. More detailed, same accuracy, IMO. Could stand to improve still.

90% Ashkenazi
5% Sephardic
3% Southeast Europe
<2% North Africa
<2% South America (MyHeritage gives me this too for some reason but it's obviously bogus)
<2% West Middle East

East Euro 94%
West Middle East 4%
Ashkenazi <2%
North and Central America <2%

These sites are not perfect. And theres lots of reasons for that. There will probably improvements over the next decade or two.
The criteria for these groups probably range from dna site to dna site.
Still dont know how far back ftdna goes.
I dont have any Native/Aboriginal American in me (I would bet a good sum on that, nothing against them of course).

The results are different from 23andme (what my brother and mom got). Somewhat close, in that they both picked up large amount of Eastern Europe
