The results are in dated 6 April 2023 for my third autosomal DNA test with Family Tree DNA (FTDNA). This test was done to hopefully help with a better definition of where our maternal Great-Great Grandma Caroline (Keirnan) Anderson came from, and it seems Caroline's Irish origins remain possible, but now less probable. What this new test does is -- fails to disprove Caroline's Irish roots. But not really surprised to find the new FTDNA results are rather similar to my two other tests done by AncestryDNA and 23andMe DNA. While each testing firm's DNA origin results are calculated differently under proprietary algorithms, it seems their basic calculation formula is highly similar. So unfortunately the new test does not help very much with the origin of Grandma Caroline. Here are the new estimated FTDNA results:

Note the FTDNA "England, Wales, and Scotland" totaling an estimated 57% of our origin DNA includes Northeast Ireland, all of Northwestern France, and most of Western Belgium and the Netherlands. This is obviously a different way to present essentially very similar DNA estimates. Click HERE to review our two previously presented DNA estimates as calculated by AncestryDNA and 23andMe.
