When I have some spare cash built up, I may take the 23andMe ancestry test just to see how it compares to LivingDNA.

That's a bold statement to make. Maciamo seems to regard LivingDNA quite highly.

Also, the Scandinavian DNA only shows up in my Complete results. In Standard and Cautious versions it simply reads, "unassigned"

Yeah, I'd honestly never even heard of Chusvashia until I read this thread.

Yeah, I was joking about that. According to my results, the Scandinavian DNA goes back at least 10 generations, but that's only 250 years. I'm pretty sure the Norwegians had stopped the whole rape and pillage thing by then...

Thanks for the link. It's probably not connected, but one of the things I noticed about my regional breakdown is that the highest percentage of my Family Ancestry(21.4%)is in Northwest Scotland. But the second highest(18.6%)is found in Lincolnshire, which used to be part of the Dane Law.

Good question, and one I've been trying to find an answer to myself since I received my LivingDNA results Great Britain and Ireland: 95.5% Scandinavia: 4.5% I love the Vikings as much as the next guy, but I somehow doubt that 4.5% of my DNA can be traced to some hairy Norseman raping one of...

Interesting. @Maciamo, what is your take on this?

I wasn't aware of that.

I must admit, I'm surprised LivingDNA test to such low percentages. I am 95.5% British/Irish, and 4.5% Scandinavian. Such a tiny percentage of my DNA coming from Scandinavia is, I would have thought, pretty much irrelevant. I appreciate their professionalism in being so thorough, but really they...

Interesting thread. I really want to read what Maciamo thinks about this.

Hi, Since Maciamo thinks so highly of LivingDNA, I decided to give them a try. My results are as follows, YDNA: R-L21, Subclade S3058. MtDNA: H69 My family ancestry shows that I am 95.5% British and Irish, with the remaining 4.5% hailing from Scandinavia. What interested me the most was the...

I just received my LivingDNA results. My Fatherline is L21 and my Subclade is R-S3058. Unfortunately, LivingDNA didn't provide any information on this Subclade, apart from the fact that it is overwhelmingly British and Irish. If anyone has any information on the origins of R-S3058, I would be...

Hi, I recently bought the Chromo 2 test from ScotlandsDNA. My mtDNA result is H69. While H is obviously one of the most widespread of mtDNA Groups, H69 seems to be much rarer. Indeed, I have been unable to find any information about it. I would welcome any insight members can give me into the...

Thank you for replying. I've ordered the test, and will post my results.
