(Cross posted to Azores, Madeira, IslandRoutes) For those who have tested with Family Tree DNA (FTDNA), it appears that they have released their new ethnicity ESTIMATES. This is version 3 of this interesting tool.
Since it's brand new, I'll just start with looking at my family. The Portuguese was clustered into Southern Europe, a big purple swath from Portugal to Spain to Italy then Greece. Good news! They've split the western part (Spain and Portugal) into Iberian and the eastern part (Italy and Greece) into Southeast Europe. My dad, 50% Portuguese is now 12% Iberian and 13% Southeast Europe! His British Isles (the other 50%) is gone! I guess the key word is they are still ESTIMATES. It'll be interesting to see what others get!
