Get AncestryDNA then. Turks tend to be a mix of Caucasian and Central Asian, with possibly some Middle Eastern and different European and East Asian groups. AncestryDNA has these categories, 23andme does not.

Smaller database, less utilities, not as good ancestry composition although not bad (23andme provides good results when having tested 1 or more parents )

I'd go for 23andme, but if you live in a country that delivers both kits, I'd just buy them both.

''The AncestryDNA test is available in the United States and for purchase online for residents of the United Kingdom and Ireland at AncestryDNA.co.uk or dna.ancestry.co.uk. We hope to make it available in other countries in the future although we do not have a date for this yet.''

AncestryDNA's database is not much smaller than 23andme, the utilities can be done elsewhere with raw data, and like I explained in the OP, AncestryDNA's AC is much better than 23andme's.

I do plan on getting 23andme as well, just to see if I find any new relatives on there. I'm not the typical customer, though. I have an obsession. For the average person, AncestryDNA alone suffices.

What is the difference/s between this and 23andme and ftDNA?

The OP I explained the difference between AncestryDNA and 23andme, but I left out FTDNA because it sucks so much that it isn't even worth it. See here: http://www.theapricity.com/forum/sho...-they-serious-!

Basically, AncestryDNA = most accurate, 23andme = somewhat accurate, and FTDNA = usually shit

AncestryDNA seem to be good but I always believe 23andme to be the best there is out there but Although 23andme is a good company, it's not perfect of course. Either way, I'm thinking about getting tested on AncestryDNA too, I want to get my results from there also. But with whatever you test with just run your raw data on Gedmect, Dodecad K12b seems to be one of the best genetic calculators. I believe it's better than 23andme personally.

But all of them have their own thing and use specified population genetics to get their reference population and will pick up different ethnic groups within a country. That said, I take all these results with a gran of salt. As it seem the level of technology is not quite there yet to be 100% accurate in DNA testing. So I take everything I get and learned and combine them and make an educated guess.
