I don't participate in genetic topics, I am not into it, but perhaps I will in the near future, which company will you recommend

You should order AncestryDNA since it's still using the old chip with the most SNPs, so you'll get a more accurate gedmatch reading that way. However, that might probably change in the near future and in that case it won't matter so much which company you choose, but 23andMe has the advantage of having the most users/samples and frequent updates.

FTDNA is good for Southeast Europe too and they still use 77k SNPs as opposed to 23andme's 58k.

Go with Ancestry. Much more SNP than FTDNA/23andme and you will be able to see basic haplogroup unlike FTDNA.

Also you will get genetic community which show region/countries you share most IBD with.

Plus they are fast!

It is still very low. They dropped in quality. Maybe this poor new chip is reason both my parents cluster oddly SE from me. I tested with much superior 23andme V4.

23andme has 600 000 SNPs altogether and 58k usable in Eurogenes k36. I thought new FTDNA has 77k SNPs altogether in the raw data file?

What's up with the Bosniak halfway to China? Part gypsy?

Your parents' chip is fine, the change was made around January this year.

Not altogether, 77k for Eurogenes.

It still had pretty low SNP, lowered than regular when I tested them. I find it odd I am NW from both. I expected to be between them.

Isn't it theoretically possible for you to have inherited more of the "northern" components from both of your parents which puts you further away from them in the plot?
