Question from a NEWBIE:
I got my autosomal DNA testing performed from AncestryDNA.

I just had received my mtDNA results from 23 & Me. These are the Ancestry composition that 23 & Me came up with for me.

I don't understand how the autosomal [FONT="]AncestryDNA [/FONT][FONT=Source Sans Pro, Helvetica Neue, Arial, sans-serif]can say I am 53% Scandinavian with Great Britain and Ireland combined with 24%, and then the mtDNA say that I am only 10.8% Scandinavian, and [/FONT][FONT="]Great Britain[/FONT][FONT="] and Ireland combined 35.5%. I won't even begin with the Italy/Greece or the France/Germany. Is there some information out there that will explain why there is such a wild difference between the tests? My mtDNA haplogroup came up as H1. Thank you for any assistance. Sherri[/FONT]
