Cheri, Recently I got my DNA done with Ancestry because the test was given to me as a gift. Is there any difference ever in the results from Ancestry and Family Tree ? I recently got my results. I grew up with my Father's side of the family who are Portuguese and his parents are Portuguese from the Azores.My mother is not Portuguese. I was surprised with the diverse ethnic profile I got from Ancestry.The range I got for Iberian Peninsula was between 12%- 39% with an estimated average of 26 %. I guess my Grandparents were not 100% Iberian.Might this have to do with the ethnic admixture of the Portuguese from the Azores and/ or Mainland Portugal ? George ( Pereira ) Medeiros
