23andme...DNA screening. Happy with results?

[Eumaois]

I am 25% Danish (Dad's side), 25% Mexican (Mom's side), and some other ethnicities like Czech on Mom's side. I have 1/8 Native American on Mom's side, but not sure of the tribe. A White person with above 1% Native American DNA that has not taken a DNA test (my mom told me last Nov. in a conversation about family genealogy) but not sure the tribe. Elizabeth Warren must be jealous.

My father is from the Rep of San Marino about 30 miles from there and Napoleon avoided invading San Marino.
It's fun to speculate.

My 5 year old grandson can't spit enough yet. We practice with a plastic condiment cup

I'd go with FTDNA because at some point if they want to do mtDNA she won't have to do it again. I did ancestry with my 80 year uncle but also got him a Y-DNA test at FTDNA.

Both my heritage and FTDNA give free uploads. I'd rather they see if she could get enough saliva to test with ancestry because they do not offer uploads

Interesting mix!
