My AncestryDNA results came in last week, and above are the graphics for the ethnicity estimates. Although I know that these should be taken with a grain of salt, and are only as good as the database they are comparing me to, I find it interested to compare the differences from my results at 23andMe and FamilyTreeDNA.
AncestryDNA picked up traces of Native American and West Asian, for example, that 23andMe didn't show. I've had my results run at GEDMATCH in the various ethnicity calculators and have found similar results. So way back in time there is a bit of a mystery to solve.
These regions are hard to pinpoint and are very vague such as Europe West or Scandinavia - but again based on the paper trail I'm not too surprised by the results.
The trace regions in West Asia - the Caucasus region of Turkey, Iran, Iraq, etc. is interesting. But then again, I have quite a bit of ancestry that remains unknown due to my mystery maternal 2nd great-grandfather.
I've posted on these various topics before under my DNA Genealogy tab.
