Ok I’ll chime in....
I am 100% Azorean Portuguese 

FTDNA gives me:
48% Iberian
23% SE Europe 
10% Scandinavian
8% British Isles
8% North Africa
2% Jewish

Last Spring I did Ancestry sale and got
99% Iberian 
1% Senegal

Just got results from My Heritage this week:
45.2 %Iberian
13.6 %Ireland, Scotland, Wales 
12.5 %Scandinavian
10.2 %Ashkanazi Jewish 
18.5 %“three more ethnicities”.... and if you look at their map it is mostly 
Northern Africa. 

Not huge differences but wonder which has the biggest database at this 
point.... I would suspect Ancestry with all those Hallmark like commercials on 
TV. If so, it would make sense for me as it’s the closest to what I know I am. 
I’ve always rationalized all the many people who colonized the Azores explained 
the mix before, but when I got Ancestry results I thought “wow” that’s the 
closest to what I know to be true!
