This past may Family Tree DNA updated their Population Finder, now called My Origins. Two years ago (oh my has it been that long already?!) I posted my
Population Finder results. I thought it would be fun to compare this with the new My Origins.
Now it is important to remember that population finder type tests are fairly new and do not necessarily show all your ethnicity. The autosomal DNA you inherit from your ancestors is random and even siblings can show different ethnic percentages in DNA testing. It is still fun to look at the results!
The original Population Finder showed me to be all European.
Western European ~ French, Orcadian, Spanish 87.29% with an error margin of 8.57%
Europe ~ Tuscan, Finnish, Romarian, Russian, Sardinian 12.89% with an error margin of 8.57%
The new My Origins show me to be 100% European. They now beak this down into 50% Western and Central Europe, 32% British Isles and 19% Scandinavia.
Looking at this map compared to the original Population Finder it is a little different. Gone are the Finland and Russian suggestions.
