No, that is not accurate. The test performed by Living DNA is ‘3-in-1”, including autosomal, yDNA, and mtDNA. The company is based in the UK. Since the company is UK based, if you have ancestors in that area, the autosomal results go a step further and identify sections of the country too.

Well, I reported less than two hours ago (well after Cathy's note below) that I had maps in Legacy, including the Master Locations List. As of now, I no longer have maps. The change was sudden, from having maps to just a blank white space where the map should be displaying throughout Legacy.
