One thing I would add is the data for places outside of Europe looks pretty weak for both Ancestry.com and 23AndMe, at least it was the last time I looked. If you are from European descent they can practically tell you what village your ancestors are from (how accurate that is I don't know) but if you are Asian about the best you get is yep, you're Asian! I married into an Asian family and the reports I've seen from Asian family members are pretty disappointing compared to what I've seen from my family members (white, European descent). I imagine it's similar for some other non-white races too, that's a big demographic that's being missed.
- rb808 7y agoLol $199 - yup you're Asian. Thanks!
- sombremesa 7y agoThis was my main reason for not doing it as well, until I got it as a gift. Still waiting on results, though I expect to be disappointed.
- RobAtticus 7y agoPerhaps its changed since you looked because my fiancee is Latin American and her results tell her the provinces/areas of her home country where her extended family is originally from.
- asveikau 7y ago> If you are from European descent they can practically tell you what village your ancestors are from (how accurate that is I don't know) Can confirm it was accurate for me based on my own impression of family history, I found it pretty impressive. My ancestry is from Lithuania and two different parts of Italy. Lithuania is a small country but they identified my grandparents' county correctly. In Italy, 2 of the regions that I know I have roots from are in spots #1 and #3. The third one is #8.
