Multiple DNA Ethnicity Analysis


The directly below image was prepared for sharing on July 15, 2018, by AncestryDNA at www.Ancestry.com.  Not much has changed since their original estimate was calculated in 2012/2013.  DNA doesn't change, but AncestryDNA claims their analysis techniques frequently change and update as DNA technology and science advances.  These updates seem to have little impact in our original case. 



Note: the above ethnicity estimate tracks fairly close to our paper genealogical research.  We are as close to 100% European as statistically probable -- and must say -- very proud to be among the largest American minority group -- a true European-American!

UPDATE... Newer Ethnicity Estimates, where percentage change by AncestryDNA alleged due to better DNA scientific analysis. 

23andMe DNA results on left, new AncestryDNA on right:


Establishes again that my likely ethnicity remains close -- very close -- to 100% European origin, a true "European American."

The Latest and Last Update:  Received a marketing email from MyHeritage DNA a couple of days ago announcing the firm's improved ability to accept uploaded 23andMe-DNA raw data (genotyping chip--version 5) for ethnicity evaluation under MyHeritage analysis methodology.

Presented here are the MyHeritage DNA Ethnicity Estimates:

       
An individual's DNA clearly does not change. 😏But raw data evaluation methods seem significantly variable.  The 26 Sep 2018 analysis of my 23andMe raw DNA data done by MyHeritage shows some strong variation relative to other DNA analysis firms, in particular with my estimated personal French and UK ancestry previously suggested under both AncestryDNA and 23andMe-DNA methodologies.
