Hi there,
I recently had an FTDNA family finder done, aswell as the YDNA12 and MTDNA Plus, but so far have only received my Family finder results.
I also, a few months back had a DNA test done with 23andme, what's interesting is the population references, as they're quite different.
And here's my 23andme results,
Paternal = R1a1a
Maternal = W1
99.6 European,
87.3% North European
0.7% South European
< 0.1% East European
11.5% Nonspecific European
0.1% North African,
0.3% unassigned.
100% me .
So, that's that. I'm hoping to have some expert advice on this, as I'm quite the novice. But which one should I be believing? Who's more accurate?
Apparently the FTDNA results are quite common among British men... Not sure why, but something to do with the way FTDNA reference their populations...
Anyhow, thanks!
