The service was efficient and helpful, but the pace and the tone were too technocratic, too strict, and not really empathetic. C'est le ton qui fait la musique.

A minha experiência tem sido bastante enriquecedora, não só porque tenho a honra e o privilégio de poder contribuir para a tradução para Português de PORTUGAL mas também porque por detrás de todo este trabalho tenho uma equipa fantástica de pessoas que me elucida sempre que posso neste tempo tão perturbado.

I had questions about DNA matches and Dana explained perfectly what I wanted to know! Now I understand that my actual matches are not immediately usefull but I am sure that in time the DNA matches will be of great help!

MyHeritage replied to my bad review of their DNA testing. "Because current DNA research finds DNA to be very similar between people in neighboring countries, where there isn't sufficient statistical difference, the ethnicity estimate is retained on a higher regional level. Indeed our estimate covers 42 ethnic regions in the world..."
Wow, 42 Ethnic regions in the world! Are you neglecting that there are over 5,000 ethnic groups in the world? No wonder you can't tell German DNA from French DNA.
You also throw around the word "estimate" now in both your reply to my bad review of your service and with my phone call to you. Amazing that never showed up in your DNA test advertising. On the phone you even stated that if I had done extensive research in my families Genealogy going back centuries that I should trust my research rather than their DNA tests.
Your algorithms are extremely poor in doing statistical data findings compared to other products on the market.
It's still amazing that you can't tell Italian DNA from Greek DNA. It's a good thing the supposed Italian Mafia is "fake" or they would be insulted to find your DNA testing would show them as being mostly Greek.
Again, worst DNA testing site ever!

Hi Fred,
I regret to find you are not happy with your DNA ethnicity estimate.
Because current DNA research finds DNA to be very similar between people in neighboring countries, where there isn't sufficient statistical difference, the ethnicity estimate is retained on a higher regional level. Indeed our estimate covers 42 ethnic regions in the world, but this is due to improve even greater thanks to our Founder Population project, the largest study of this kind ever conducted. More than 5000 participants of different ethnicities have been handpicked to serve as references for this project by virtue of their family trees, exemplifying consistent ancestry from the same region or ethnicity for many generations. It is our goal for the results of these tests along with our research to yield a rich DNA data set and I can assure you updating and bettering our current model is in our plans. I'd like to make mention that along with our estimate, many of our members benefit from other research tools we provide that is integrated with their DNA results such as DNA matching, ancestral surnames and comparing matching family trees to help understand their family story.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or need any assistance with your family tree research.
Kind Regards
