Congratulations for the results!!
You think LivingDNA is more accurate than AncestryDNA and 23andme?

Right now they are overestimating British-Irish ancestry (no way that I'm 18% British if we talk about recent history).

But maybe they will improve once they gather more references from all over Europe (they have this One Family One World Project going on - my sample will actually be among their regional Polish references because my grandparents were born within 80 km from each other).

I've never tried AncestryDNA or 23andMe so I can't tell you. But 23andMe is IMHO overvalued, they're not "special".

Yeah, LivingDNA is more British-centric test since it includes dozens of British territories.
I had the same opinion as you for the 23andme but I think it became more accurate with the recent update ( more defined results for the GEDmatch calculators)
AncestryDNA for me was also very accurate plus I really enjoyed the Genetic Community display they offer.

The 23andme update changed the raw data for gedmatch as well?

Yeah they also overestimated my UK around 10%, and underestimated my NEE by that same margin. The sub-region breakdowns tend to be very accurate from my experience.

Its interesting to note that most of the few slavic livingdna results ive seen, we almost all score higher rates of east balkan, than west balkan. This due to vlach ancestry?
