As I’ve said before, I had a MyHeritage DNA test processed nearly two years ago. MyHeritage was just getting into the DNA testing business, so the matches started out rather slowly, but soon I was getting more cousin matches than I was able to keep up with. In checking the website today, I see that I now have 4,714 matches – starting with First Cousins!
My Ancestry is all from the United Kingdom and Western Europe – namely England, Scotland; Germany and Switzerland, so the Ethnicity Results were of no surprise to me. I’ve taken tests from other providers, and the MyHeritage results are about the same. DNA results are never exact, so it’s interesting to compare tests. To make it even more interesting, sibling tests aren’t exactly the same, even though we have the same parents. Something called recombination takes place following conception, making your sibling’s DNA differ from yours.

- International database.
