Is 23andme the best and most detailed to use if you want to know a breakdown of your ancestry?
AncestryDNA has the upper hand with their recent update, for now... they have more populations/regions to compare your data with. Some people that have done both AncestryDNA and 23andMe claimed the former was more accurate, or it explained a portion of their ancestry that 23andMe showed as unknown/unassigned.
Best of luck to you. Please send and accept requests to share.
Today I have found 2 new "big" ancestors by DNA community standards show up in my RF. One has accepted my request to share but our common DNA is in a strange place for me. He is on need more info status.
I do hope the other relative will accept my request.

Thank you.I see....I hope so too I hate it when family don't want anything to do with me.
I ordered 23andMe kits last Saturday, received them on Thursday and have sent them in for processing (mostly interested in the genetic health results form this test). My husband and I have previously done AncestryDNA and I have done FTDna Family Finder and waiting for mtDNA results. It will be interesting to compare all four tests.

I just sent mine in today! I'm worried that my results will just say "hillbilly" lol.
This reminded me of when I when I was in the forth grade. The teacher told us all to find out "what we had in us" from our parents, and come in the next day to talk about it. I'll never forget my moms face when I asked or her answer: "tell her we're just regular white people". I also never forget how embarrassed I was to give this answer in front of my class. I am a VA. hillbilly raised in CA. and wish she'd just said that's what I was.
It would now probably be politically incorrect to ask a question like that. I don't know.
Anyway--My 23andme kit just arrived. I know I'm English on both sides but you never know what else could have sneaked in there. There are stories of native American very early and I have always wondered about some contact with black people somehow in England. (Just from looking at people's features in old photos.)
