Agree, and you can create events or notes to document specific matches or triangulations that you might find (as you could with Y-DNA matches).
I think that the broad ethnic background tests are still a bit of a black art. Different companies produce different results. And how far back do you go? If a British ancestor has ancestors that originally came from Normandy in the 11th century, is that British or NW Europe? My Italian ancestry is partly shown as Iberian and Greek, even though those people came to Italy several hundred years ago.

Plus, they would be difficult to interpret in Legacy. Putting the lengthy raw results into Legacy would swell the files unacceptably.

How do I go about adding this to my Legacy family tree? The DNA test was an autosumal test but I don't see that listed on the add DNA screen. The results are rather intriguing and I have no idea how far back the tests would go back to but as far as I can see the test results don't match the research I have (I am back to 1780). I find no North African, Nigerian nor Finnish connection in my direct line ancestors. I agree with the English portion though :). It is a little bit surprising not to find any Celtic markers given that my name is Ferguson, my paternal grandmother was MacDonald and I have documented proof of Scottish kin on my mother's side. It is all rather perplexing and I have no idea why it should be so puzzling. My father's ancestors didn't even leave the county of their births for 300 years! Any assistance would be greatfullly received.
