My best DNA Test experience was with 23&Me, the biggest disappointment was Family Tree DNA -- terrible.

Yours is the weirdest I've seen yet, seems to have no rhyme or reason. How can you be closely related to so many populations?
Do you have DNA relatives from all those places?

The only change I have is that under British and Irish it says ‘United Kingdom’ and it estimates I have ancestry from the UK in the last 200 years. My mum is half Irish and she gets the same for Ireland instead of the UK.

Possibly with Albanian communities of those countries, including the Arvanite/Arbereshe populations. IDK though, otherwise Turkey would come up too.

What country's flag is that on your avatar? I honestly don't recognize your nation's flag.

Anyway, <0.1% of something is called statistical noise. I doubt it's real, since you seem to be in a European country. If you were in the US I guess you never know.

It only shows Portugal for me. I still get:

Broadly Southern European
15.2%
Broadly Northwestern European
9.8%
Broadly European
5.0%

30% broadly, I am still planing to test my parents.

Why don't they give me 100% French & German if they can't connect me with any population of the other regional groups ?



100% proof that their regional breakdown is bullshit

I have one line the Fletts that may have Scandinavian origins ie Norway- Orkneys- Findochty in Banffshire. Any Norwegian connection would be many centuries ago though. http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/sheena_charles/flettorg.htm

My heritage gives me a 5 person triangulated match of 12cMs with 4 people from Norway and one with an English surname but she has 50+ surnames from Norway.

My update is 5 dots for Ireland and 4 dots for the UK. Rest of the family is the same except daughter has 5 dots for Ireland and 5 dots for the UK.
