How Accurate Is Ancestral DNA Testing?

If you are wondering how accurate an ancestral DNA test is, it can only be as accurate as the company you choose to test with, because each company uses their own reference populations. (So really research the testing companies before making a choice!) Of course, the accuracy will improve as they collect more region-specific DNA data sets for the reference population, and have more DNA data sets within their database to compare with. Good news for everyone - the results will get more and more accurate over time without any extra action or effort on your part!
