"... interaction with Scandinavia." What a lovely way to put it.  As a teenager I used to dream about the blonde girl in ABBA. Does that count?

At a conference many years ago I got talking to a distinguished scholar of Scandinavian history, now late, who wrote several books about the history of the individual Nordic countries, and I asked him what first got him interested in Scandinavia, expecting a suitably academic response.  Well, he said, when I was an undergraduate in Cambridge there were all these lovely Swedish au-pairs in the town ...

Hello everyone,
I got my DNA back from MyHeritage, found highest result 1st cousin twice removed below it reads 2nd cousin once removed shared 2.7% (189.3cm) 10 shared segments longest segment 36.1cm
As this is the highest l assumed that was good but the next person reads 2.2% (156) shared 8 and largest 48.7cm. Is it the segments size of amount that's significant?

Ethnicity 95.9% Irish Scottish & Welsh 4.1% Finnish.
Craclyn  suggests l put my info on gematch,livingDNA & FTDAND how do l do that please.

My questions are never ending lol  but just one more please which do you folks recommend l buy 23and me or Ancestry DNA.

Thank you very much Kathleen 😀

Hi Murrell
I suggest that you read the upload-download blog posts by Roberta Estes on her DNA Explained blog
https://dna-explained.com/?s=download&submit=Search

As to which to test at, Ancestry has by far the largest database and is easier to use than 23andme, but does not provide the segment details all the other companies do, so you cannot actually check that the DNA connections suggested by ThruLines are actually where the DNA comes from
