18:35: If you're getting the trace like .50, 1%, 2%, etc. if you get it from your parents (like me) and it lines up with genealogy records like involving surnames believe it! Especially if the result hasn't disappeared from your ethnicity results just embrace it.

Since Ancestrydna uses family trees for their proposed thru lines, how does 23andme make their proposed family trees? Do they use information from other family trees or do they use dna test results?

A very high percentage of my Hispanic DNA matches (just from my one Hispanic parent - the other parent is British) are on 23andMe. I am on that company, Ancestry & MyHeritage.

is there a cost to transfer downloaded DNA results from say Ancestry to My Heritage. Several years ago there was a window and I transferred my results from Ancestry to My Heritage at no cost

twin studies show that with the tested products the ethnicities were at best random. That is, the twins DNA was predicted to have completely different enthnicities.
