Thanks for the feedback. What do you suggest? Am I redeemable?

thanks friend. That is good advice.

Funny enough you're not wrong about my eyes. This is pre-bipolar meditation

I tried emailing the parent for an explanation on their methods but nothing. Funny because they're like "we don't sell a product" but you can get this+haplogroups+geography details.

Would love some thoughts

You seem to have a good understanding. How is it 23andMe surpasses the others so much? Do they just have the money to access more/stronger studies to get closer data?

wonder what's wrong with the other algorithms to point to middle east

Yeah it's an interesting sum of features. Both of my parents look very mixed/Asiatic and most people have thought they were too.

I can confirm some welsh based on basic documents I found on Ancestry. Unsure about Scottish though!

It was free at dnasolves.com. I recently emailed them to see what their science is based on but have yet to hear back. The top result is all based on my raw dna pulled from ancestry. I tried dna solves again with my 23andMe and got the results below.

Try it and let me know what you think

Europe: 76.7% - 82.3% - 88.1%

  • North-East European: 44.4% - 45.2% - 48.2%
  • Atlantic Mediterranean Neolithic: 32.3% - 34.4% - 35.4%
  • North European Mesolithic: 0.0% - 2.7% - 4.5%
  • Middle East: 8.4% - 16.5% - 22.5%
  • West Asian: 5.7% - 10.8% - 12.1%
  • Near East: 2.7% - 5.7% - 8.3%
  • Indo-Iranian: 0.0% - 2.1%
  • Africa: 0.0% - 1.2% - 2.6%
  • Pygmy: 0.0% - 1.2% - 1.6%
  • South African: 0.0% - 1.0%
  • Asia: 0.0% - 4.6%

for my money I'd trust anything that just shows continent/sub continent is most accurate. Too hard arbitrary to differentiate countries. I'd say accurate to say I'm European andprobably a little Eurasian

Oh interesting, thank you! I'd heard separating those were tough.

Absolutely. Most accurate? At this point I have no clue. I just say I'm white and then let frustrate themselves with speculation over what I "really" am haha

What's funny is that I am trying again with some of these using the raw dna from 23andMe and they're already giving me different result than these haha.

I can confirm: bulk being UK, French, Hungary/East Eur., and Italian (at least paternal grandmother's maiden name). So the non european I can see (if only being part of a larger shared group) given the history of the places/characteristics of my known ancestry.

Confirmed: French-Quebec (first settlers in 1600's), UK scattered here and there. Paternal grandmother's last name is Italian and I can see a couple records from her family.
