George, I am a project administrator with Family Tree DNA (FTDNA), not Ancestry. So I can answer as to what pertains to FTDNA.
Yes, you will get different results with Ancestry vs. FTDNA. You will have different matches on Ancestry (they call them Circles). Your Ancestry results are compared with those who tested on Ancestry so you get Ancestry matches. If you test (or do the $39 autosomal transfer) to FTDNA, you will have a different list of matches (although some people do DNA with both companies). Yes, you will have different ethnic percentages with the different companies. They run it against different population samples. I'm not going to guess at AncestyDNA's. Google around and see if you can find their White Paper. If you want to transfer to FTDNA you can find the information here: https://goo.gl/0Ejtmn And downloading your raw data from Ancestry can be found here: https://goo.gl/5fYgzc Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca, Ribeira Quente, Ribeira das Tainhas, Achada -- For options, such as changing to List, Digest, Abridged, or No Mail (vacation) mode, log into your Google account and visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/Azores.
