Elaine S,
Correct, the BEST use of DNA is to find relatives - both distant and
unknown! Yes, DNA can open doors and some of those doors are closets (with
skeletons)!

My nephew had his done by one company, original finding no French, and they
recently updated his DNA and somehow he was now 50% Frenchthere is NO
French in the family to our knowledge!! I've come to the conclusion, for
now, the only thing DNA tests are really good at is finding relatives;
How can this be
What if this were a paternity test done by all different companies?

I agree, Susan, not huge differences but enough to look at the other
companies just to see what comes up!

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,
That is so funny,Bill! Both of us show no Iberian with FTDna and in the 40%
range on MyHeritage! I'm half Portuguese and half Italian. MyH is showing
Greek which FTDna doesn't show at all but then my Italian side is from
Sicily and it was overrun by everyone!

I had previously tested with FTDNA and 23andMe. FTDNA had me 0% Iberia and
23andMe had me as 42% Iberian. I just transferred my FTDNA data to
MyHeritage and they estimate my Iberian to be 40% (based on the same data
that FTDNA had at 0% Iberia)
I am 50% Azorean with two grandparents from the
7 matches
