Which genetic company is the cheapest to take a test and is it worth? Or should I go for 23andme?

[Brás Garcia de Mascarenhas]

Boas,

I have results from the Big 4: National Geographic; FTDNA; 23andMe; My Heritage.

Haplogroups: the best was National Geographic (it went deeper); FTDNA and 23andme started with R L-21 and a couple of months later changed to different/"smaller" subclades.

Autossomal: National Geographic seemed very ancient; 23andMe seemed very recent; FTDNA and MyHeritage were the ones that were less European.
I dont't wanna go into conspiracy theories, but I have read somewhere that MyHeritage was Israeli and thus more interested in showing results as less European to prove that Europeans aren't 100% Europeans. Truth or Lie?

I totally understand the $ factor. Try to take advantage of promotions around specific dates (Christmas, Black Friday). Do you have family or friends in the USA or UK (it's generally cheaper in these 2 countries) that can bring you the test from there?


Boa sorte!

You are R1b-L21 as well?

I went for 23andme but I wish I went for Ancestrydna as you can upload it more places and it has a larger database. I'm now doing an ancestrydna test as well.

You are R1b-L21 as well?

It would just be interesting to know if they came to Portugal from the British Isles or from France.

Cool, I am R1b-L21 too.

I wonder if you are one of my DNA relatives on 23andMe.

From which Portuguese region were you from again? I forgot.

I've tried a few different companies (Ancestry, MyHeritage, FTDNA, 23andMe). I wouldn't waste my money on any of them besides 23andMe.

23andme out of the cheaper ones. There is a customised test you can take for 500 Pound Sterling from a professor of human genetics.

Sim, 13 de Agosto!

Quanto aos Relatives no 23andMe, tenho 1037.
Porém só 2 pessoas é que têm mais de 1% de ADN em comum comigo.

Eu tenho 984 e 3 pessoas com mais de 1% de ADN em comum.
