My heritage Free upload

[srdceleva]

So my heritage allows you to upload your raw data and gives you an ethnicity estimate for free, plus finding matches. I did it and it only took two days to get the results. Here they are. Has anyone else done this here?

Uploaded and processing began for 5 family members (Ancestry test). I'll compare the interpretation to Ancestry's when complete.

The site looks nice, you can import GEDcoms which I might try. One of my main beefs with Ancestry is that the site is clunky with a lack of analytical and tagging tools. I'll still use Ancestry.com for DNA matches and records.

Perhaps Myheritage will help with tracing Norwegians. I have a couple from Oslo with common names that are beyond Ancestry.com's abilities.

According to their results your highest region percentage is Balkan. Doesn't that surprise you?

[Apsurdistan]

I'll try this out too.

No not really, because the balkan marker is essentially interchangeable with the eastern euro marker. I know a Polish guy who scores extremely high eastern european and Baltic results and he scores 41% balkan on this test and I know a Croatian girl who scores 0 percent balkan and 56 percent eastern euro.

Why not it's free and a pretty big testing company, not like DNA land or something.

how do you register? on the main page i only see the option to purchase a dna test or create a family tree?

Scroll down on the page and at the bottom you'll see a link DNA and underneath that link you'll see a link upload raw data and the word "new" written in red. You'll make an account through that

Just did mine. Not sure why it takes 3 days, as WeGenes and DNA land only took a few mins. Hopefully it just makes it that much more accurate.

It took me two days, idk why.

It just can't accept my raw data -

Any suggestions?

What testing company did you use for your initial DNA test?

Ftdna, but actually it's uploaded right now after the creation of a new account. Strange.

She is English and her dad is a quarter dutch. The Scandinavian, and North/Western European is expected, but she is rather confused about the near 30% Southern European, along with the fact that there is no Ireland/Wales or Scotland, let alone English. Her mother's first husband was Maltese, so unless she is being lied to (her supposed real dad is as I said before, quarter Dutch with all English.)

[New Englander]

^ Well simple math tells you that a Maltese will not be 30% Spanish (Has Large Western component) and 40% German (North West) like. I would expect a Maltese person to have more Greek/Italian (East med) like mixture, than Western med/Atlantic

There would also be some near eastern admixture and possibly some north African. Buuut there's no way a half English half Dutch person would score thirty percent south euro.

What other testing companies has she tested with before? And did they give similar results?

Ethnicity: Albanian


My mothers side is from Northwest Albania and Kosova. Both of which predominantly are encompassed by their balkan reference. Where as Most of Albania, all of Macedonia, and south-west Bulgaria seem to fall in the Greek reference. I couldnt explain the Italian honestly.

Well her dad is ony 1/4 Dutch, so she would essentially be around 1/8 Dutch. Family Tree DNA gave her similar results, although the South East Mediterranean input was nearer to 20%. Still similar enough. I guess she just found it odd that the result would be that high for the South European component considering most English people we see getting tested only receive a minimal amount of that.
