About the MyHeritage Autosomal Calculator

Recently, I had the opportunity to review several MyHeritage ethnic proportion calculator results. I must say that some of them appear quite nonsensical. At this point, I do not know whether this issue is specific to Armenians or if it is more widespread.

What is particularly strange is that in February 2025, MyHeritage announced the release of version 2.5 of their calculator, which, according to their blog post, was supposed to improve the identification of Armenian-related ancestry. However, the examples I have seen so far are somewhat disappointing.

Another issue is that FTDNA apparently no longer accepts MyHeritage raw data files. This can be quite frustrating for individuals who wish to obtain an alternative interpretation of their ancestry results. Previously, the two companies used identical file formats, but apparently something has changed.
