MyHeritage or 23andMe?

[Celestia]

What about Ancestry? 23andMe still better?

Ancestry is pretty good as well although their most recent update gave me a bunch of weird low percentages.

23andme still takes the cake.

Yeah, i'm gonna go with 23andMe. I hope they are not gonna bring any of "broadly this and broadly that".

If you're Finnish, you'll most likely come out as 95+% Finnish. The same goes for MyHeritage by the way.

On the other hand, some say that while 23andme tests fewer, they selectively test those of better quality.

Could be, because my man gets more logical results (considering his ancestry) with 23andme than with AncestryDNA. SNP count is not everything.

I have bunch of all kind of things in me including Russian, German, Polish, Pontic Greek and Karaite Jewish. Not only Finnish and Baltic.

Finns tend to get Amerindian which is funny. https://www.myheritage.com/eurovisio...astian-rejman/

Like some Dagestanis are 30 % British. Not sure if it's really British.

I think I can recall from Coon's books that Karaite Jews were Mongoloid, no? I wonder if that will elevate that Far Eastern admixture in you quite a bit?

23andme is the way to go. MyHeritage sucks and I'm not even sure if their raw data is that good since simply testing more SNPs doesn't mean they will be high quality anyway.

The only relatively accurate test for recent ancestry is 23andme. MyHeritage is famous for giving many different bullshits in their results and most of these DIY calculators aren't really that good to measure recent ancestry.

I think Khazars are Turkic, Karaite Jews are just Jews. They do have some Caucasus, Turkish in them tho. I would worry more about Pontic Greeks. I wonder what they might elevate in me.

I think Khazars are Turkic, Karaite Jews are just Jews. They do have some Caucasus, Turkish in them i assume. But yeah, they probably elevate many things in me, on the other hand these people are distant in my family line, i will know better later. I would worry more about Pontic Greeks. I wonder what they might elevate in me.

Pontic Greeks score a lot of West Asian. Here is result of a Greek/Half Pontic Greek: https://www.theapricity.com/forum/sh...=1#post6210561

i forgot to mention myHeritage is sometimes just plain wrong.
