WhatsGoingOnBigGuy's AncestryDNA vs 23andme ethnicity estimates.

[WhatsGoingOnBigGuy]

I don't actually have my full AncestryDNA report yet, but I used the /origins/ glitch to see the ethnicity estimate early, so I'll have regions probably tomorrow or the next day.

The two tests: https://imgur.com/a/NVOG2FY

Context of my ancestors:

Grandparent 1 - Has two parents from Lithuania but my surname is probably Polish (beginning with Cz) so the eastern euro admix on ancestry isn't surprising.

Grandparent 2 - Half English half Sicilian

Grandparent 3 - Probably full Irish

Grandparent 4 - Unknown mix of German and English.

I already thought the Italian was low on 23andme but I was surprised to see nothing for ancestry. Obviously the 1% Middle Eastern would be residual from Sicily but it isn't there at all lol. Perhaps I chose the wrong time to test with this new update rolling out, anyone else having Italian issues?

Your minor Sicilian was lost in recombination.

Really? 12.5%? I find that hard to believe. That's pretty significant. And 23andme did give him 6% Italian.

I believe 23andMe is more accurate for mixed Europeans, it was for me

agreed. generally my british isles and baltic/slavic make sense on ancestry so I have no idea where this extra germanic is coming from lol. should be impossible for them to mistakenly assign southern Italian to Germany but who knows what they're doing. I doubt my anglo/german grandmother was that heavily german.

6% is still not 12.5% though. Sicilian blood is still broadly white, so it's possible for a small amount to not show up on a test. On the other hand with SSA or Chinese it's practically impossible.

Random inheritance.

Not a Cop is 12.5% German. https://www.theapricity.com/forum/sh...=1#post6012022
Before the update he was 11.8% NW Euro. After the update he got 6.5% NW Euro + German, the rest is hidden under 'Broadly European' probably.

Hey, Big Guy, if you don't mind, please check the Y DNA predictor using your Ancestry data

I'd like to know if it's accurate in as many cases as possible.
