What is your favorite DNA testing service?

Might have already been made but I haven't seen a thread for this so far.

AncestryDNA without any doubt, by faaaaar especially with newest updates.

Why exactly? I'm thinking of testing my mom and brother with 23andme. I want to see if they pick up any components I don't.

23andme. It was very accurate for me.

FTDNA seems to have provided for me the most balanced results out of all the commercial tests out there!

Check out amount of regional breakdown and regions they added, it's crazy how detailed it is. They even have midwest American (Celto)Germanic cathegory.
and they go back further from 23andme.

I just find them better for smaller price, 23andme is perhaps too conservative.

It's all opinion. They are all roughly the same, just using different reference populations. So no, one doesn't go back further.

It's really just based on opinion and personal experience when it comes to the big name tests.

I was however thinking of adding an ancestryDNA test.

They have lots of small categories like she mentioned. I actually got the Germans in the Midwest regional breakdown she mentioned. I am waiting for the newest update, they expanded their population comparison panel a lot, and people's results are changing as they slowly roll out the update

Tell me about it. I got 30% broadly NW Euro. I assume a lot of that is German and they're doing an undercount.
