Share your MyHeritage DNA Ethnicity Estimates

Sometimes, outdated(?) calculators, give me this kind of results.
This might be similar to what MyHeritage uses. :)

This is what happens to my results when a oracle doesn't have South Italy.
It’s interesting to see how and with whom it gets confused.

Sorry, hadn't actually read the opening post. Here're my mother's results (her 4 grandparents come from France: 3 from Champagne-Ardennes - 1 from haute-Savoie):

Europe 93.6%

Northern and Western Europe 58.8%

-> English 40.0%

-> Irish, Scottish, Welsh 17.9%
--> Finnish 0.9%

Eastern Europe 24.6%
--> Eastern Europe 13.5%
--> Balkan 11.1%

Southern Europe 10.2%
---> Italian 10.2%

Africa 6.4%
---> North Africa 5.5%
---> Nigerian 0.9%

The North African result is interesting. I often don't think the MyHeritage results make complete sense, but in this case, there is the Moorish incursion into Provence and the neighboring mountains to consider.

See:
https://www.history.ubc.ca/sites/default/files/users/cbooker/docs/Ballan_Fraxinetum.pdf

However, from what I've seen these kinds of short lived incursions rarely have much lasting influence, so maybe, on balance, it's just an artifact of their algorithm.

It's probably just that (an artifact of their algorithm), as my mother doesn't get any North Africa with Gedmatch calculators or on FTDNA. Interestingly though, she has a Mtdna exact match (genetic distance: 0) who's Libyan.

new feature added: "Auto Cluster Analysis"

I uploaded my 23andme test results to MyHeritage roughly 6 months ago. I remember the 23andme test has been done on a version 5 test chip. So I downloaded the 23andme rawdata and then converted in two different versions.I decided to upload both versions to the newly MyHeritage profile, and I ended up with two different kits.

I compared the results, the suggested list of genetic relatives, and finally, the reason I decided today to post about my results, since yesterday a new feature MyHeritage added, the "auto cluster analysis".
It took about 16 hours to have the results calculated and sent into my e mail as a zip. I think it is a new interesting feature My Heritage just added and I was surprised to have it available as my account is a free one.Untitled3.jpg

I find My Heritage dna estimate abit hit and miss.

No other site makes reference to any Asian or Spanish heritage at all. I've heard that My Heritage throw 1% in to discourage racism, It'd be a shame and dishonest if it were true.

These are my results. I uploaded my 23andme raw data nearly a year ago, but now I guess they were able to convert the V5 version to be compatible with their calculator.

Clearly their centrum for "Italian" is more northern, and the rest I get is probably pulled towards "Greek" from that centrum. Personally, I think the current version of AncestryDNA may be best for southern Italians. Considering they have sub-populations dedicated to specific southern Italian regions.

I thought it was interesting, because it shows the centrum includes southern Italy, in the name. Which means the Greek component is probably Peloponnesian-to-cretan-like. I think the Greeks that went to southern Italy probably remained like that. But perhaps even the Iapygians were somewhat similar genetically, idk without ancient DNA. The "Italian" component is Tuscan-like, maybe TSI. To me, this shows two components that are indigenous to Puglia since ancient times. Both of which are components that are appropriate for a modern Italian from the region of Bari.
 
@Jovialis
Ops. Sorry. I was focused in the numbers, and didn't notice that the labels changed.

MyHeritage should Invest much more resources on Autosomal Results.

If Ancestry and 23andme can distinguish a Pugliese from a Calabrese or an Abruzzese, how is it that MyHeritage can’t even pinpoint a South Italian.
