Yes, Ancestry bought out several companies and offered free DNA tests in
the beginning. That's how they got so big so fast.
Most people feel FTDNA missed the mark with their latest version of
ethnicity estimates. However, because they did that survey a few years ago
(with the last version) and had
I did my DNA with Ancestry and Family Tree. I think Ancestry has a larger data
base of information than Family Tree. I could be wrong but the breakdown of my
ethnic profile seem more precise with Ancestry.
However, my Iberian average was higher with Family Tree than Ancestry.
In regards to ethn

Leonard,
Don't stress.
My dad was born in the Azores, as well as generations of ancestors before
him. FTDNA gives him 0% Iberia. And we are OK with it. Also because FTDNA

Leonard,
If you tested only for the ethnicity estimates, you're really not going to
be wowed by any company.
Your sample is run against a population sample at each company and they
decide how well you fit. At Family Tree DNA (FTDNA) the sample size was 25.
Just 25 to compare Azoreans, Madeirans,
I did my DNA through Ancestry and was surprised to see how small the
percentage of Iberian heritage was there. I discussed this with a
genealogist at my local library and she told me that for hundreds of years,
the Azores were a stopping point for all manner of ships from around he

I think because I typed it in Word and then pasted it into the Bulk Email
generator, that it did something weird. I did click the button saying it
was being pasted from Word. It put lines between the paragraphs. Since
FTDNA reads all bulk emails, I figured they would tell me I pasted it
incorrectly
