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

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

Tens mais gente com que dividir a herança


What do you think about the Autossomals of FTDNA and MyHeritage (the ones that show less European; why)?

What about the 23andMe and: "You most likely had a third-great-grandparent, fourth-great-grandparent, fifth-great-grandparent, sixth-great-grandparent, or seventh-great- (or greater) grandparent who was 100% British & Irish. This person was likely born between 1710 and 1830."?

That's fairly normal, most Portuguese score a bit British & Irish (and Italian). Not me, but my results are not standard

Yes, that's standard for many people. How serious would you take it?
Could it really be a 100% GB-IE ancestor or the combination of several % of ancient ancestors that came to Iberia?

I don't know, that's a really good question. I'd like to know aswell since all my non-Iberian components are very low (just 2% Italian and 3.1% NW euro)

From rummaging through my relatives it seems that north Euro sources (B&I, F&G, EE and broadly NW) seem to vary a bit wildly whereas Italian seems to be more consistent (around 5-8% usually). So my uneducated guess is that the north Euro seems a bit more recent than the Italian ancestry. They could be proxies for Germanic and Roman ancestry respectively, but I'm really unsure about it. Additionally the north Euro could be a product of repopulation/colonisation of territories reconquered form the moors with foreigners - like Burgundians, etc - or more recent ones, since the Renaissance or the Elightenment periods
