Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Just received by Ancestry DNA results...
« on: Wednesday 20 May 15 13:12 BST (UK)  »
As for FTDNA, I've had my results since last year, when they were having some issues. One day I looked at my Origins and it was much the same as Ancestry and then two days later it was all lumped under this:

European 100%

Western and Central Europe 87%
Scandinavia 13%

My brother's results were back in February of this year and his are quite accurate and not lumped all together.

I can understand that. About a year ago ftDNA reworked all their origins results with some new "improved" method. Ubder the new method I come out as

European 100%

Western and Central Europe 67%
Scandinavia 33%

Trouble is I can't remember what I was before (still I got lots of alternatives from gedmatch).

Thanks for your comments on prosapia I may upload there in due course just for curiosity's sake

I uploaded two test to Prosapia. The first test I selected the "Super GPS" and the second test I selected the regular GPS. On the second test I decided to upgrade to the Super GPS (for just under $13.00 US). The results were in last night and they were exactly the same as the regular test, no change. I emailed this morning for an explanation, hopefully they will answer.

It would be interesting to see how closely your Prosapia results match to your ftDNA results when you get them as Prosapia use ftDNA for at least some of their tests.

As to the GPS results I don't know what they are meant to be claiming here as this is an analysis of all your autosomal lines so how can they say it is one geographical location?

I had to read up on the GPS mapping as well. This is on the Prosapia website:

 "Geographic Population Structure, or GPS, algorithm, attempts to estimate one' origin as if it were a single point. GPS coordinates indicate the place where your DNA was formed by combination of several gene pools from populations coming together and creating a genetic line that would eventually lead to the individual being analyzed. Because borders changed throughout history, your ancestors may have lived in a different country that once ruled the region."

Kat how did you receive your records, did they send you an email to say they were back and how long did you have to wait please?.

They sent an email informing me the results were available to view and it really didn't take long at all, I uploaded my DNA one morning and the results were ready when I checked in the afternoon.

I was searching online about two weeks ago and stumbled into RootsCHAT and to this thread. Someone mentioned uploading their DNA to Propsapia Genetics and I decided to do the same. I ordered the Super GPA Test, but I'm a little confused since I didn't receive a timeline to support these results. The remix is quite a bit different from my Ancestry Ethnicity Results, see below:

My AncestryDNA Ethnicity Estimate:

 Europe 100%

    Europe West 36%
    Great Britain 27%
    Ireland 27%
    Scandinavia 5%
    Iberian Peninsula 3%
    Italy/Greece 1%
