I did mention Living DNA. They are working on teasing apart the British Isles and then expanding to other countries. I agree that your DNA did not match their reference sample population, so the algorithm took a guess and put you in Tuscany and Sardinia. As they develop and get more samples, you'll see more refinements over time.
They do have Portuguese samples though. My dad is half Azorean and half British Isles stuff. Here's his ethnicity estimate: [image: image.png] [image: image.png] I know my dad's DNA is "Frankish" and misinterpreted by all the DNA testing companies. So I'm sure that "France" part is probably part of my dad's Azorean and didn't match their population samples fully, but matched some of them. Be sure to opt in to their DNA Matching when it becomes available. I have my dad's turned on and I sit and wait. I'm also waiting to hear about transferring my deceased mom's DNA over. I emailed them and heard nothing back except a form letter that says it can take up to 30 days for them to answer! Wow, a new company who will eventually hire more support staff, I hope.
