Not very accurate really. Well, in terms of major regions like North/South/East Europe it's somewhat accurate but smaller regions it's pretty bad.

The genetic communities thing they have is pretty cool though and it's accurrate in my case atleast but id rather go for 23andMe now if i could change it.

In their new update im down to 2% Eastern european 2% Baltic haha go figure.....Was 21% eastern european in their last update.

Do 23andme is my recommendation.

Seems fitting; when you want to scare away some New York thugs, pretend to be Russian. Based!

your head seems to be bigger, not borealized, so not that Slavic

Yeah, I did 23andme and was reasonably happy with it; still waiting for a major breakthrough in DNA tests though, so I guess I'll hold off. From the sounds of it, the old AncestryDNA was much better than the new one. Did you get any Finland/Northwest Russia or Balkan on the first test to compliment your 21% Eastern Euro?

Btw, I appreciate all your insight.
