    Default LivingDNA wrongly reports my mtDNA haplogroup

    Genomic Map of Poland Project reports my mtDNA haplogroup as W6a and 23andMe also reports it as W6.

    However, LivingDNA reports my mtDNA haplogroup as W1c, which I believe must be a wrong assignment:



    Anyone with a similar experience?
    My DNA Origin analysis for 16 EUR (you get 2 reports examining ancestry from 3012 regions, 226 countries): https://www.exploreyourdna.com/DNAOrigin.aspx

    This analysis is not based on G25 but on ADMIXTURE. And it has more regions than any other DNA test!

    I'd never thought that. Possibly also 23andme could be wrong...?
    I got J1c2o from LDNA and it never was contradicted. As far as I remember 23andme only gave me J1c, or at best J1c2.

    23andMe predicts me as X2B4, and DNAGenics says X2F1 so idk, it's rare enough already and I can't be arsed to have it tested further.

    LivingDNA reported my mtDNA as H1, 23andMe as H1c.

    I bought Dante (of course on promotion), then tested full genome in Y-Full and I have 100% certainty what haplo I have. Recommend it then buiyng another useless test from LivingDNA, Ancestry or whatever.
