They're newer and smaller then Ancestry and FTDNA, but will grow just like they did.
I won a kit for the founders project. They gave me the free kit because my parents came to the US from Hungary in the 1950's. The DNA results just came back, my DNA traces back to East European 96.3% Italian 3.7% which wasn't what Ancestry had. I'll have to do 23 and me next to see what it picks up.

I've had everyone's Ancestry DNA uploaded there for free matches, only today saw they gave estimates on everyone for free. I'm sure they appreciated me uploading my favorite MIL's to add to their European database.

I had low amounts of Scandanavian on Ancestry but none with My Heritage.

Link to my Family tree and DNA general instructions. I didn't realize that My Heritage has a limit on how many people you can enter in your family tree. I'm in the 290 range, its telling me I have to pay to upgrade my account to enter more people. What I'm now doing is removing some branches to try to build up other branches with their hints feature

That is pretty normal if you have European roots

I virtually had no European ancestry come up on my AncestryDna results though they said it themselves they lack data samples from the region my family come from (Kashmir) so they haven't got a diverse set of samples. I uploaded my ancestrydna raw data on MyHeritage for free and the Scandinavian showed up, now 11% is quite alot and no-one in my family know nothing about a white European member so I was confused and still am. I uploaded it because MyHeritage noted that their sample pool is more wider compared to the others. I was hoping other Kashmiris took the test and see what I would get overall. As for their family tree branch I've yet to build up mine, but thanks for letting me know about their limit. Good luck building up your tree!

But that's the thing though, I never knew I even had European roots up until now. My mum and dad are confused as well.

Woah, that's pretty confusing. Are you half native American and half European or is your family from South America? I do think MyHeritage definitely has a different algorithm as opposed to the rest of them.
