Couldn’t read and run after noticing your username - I would imagine it’s Ancestry - Good Luck Flowers

I find Ancestry best for genealogy, I think they probably have the biggest database by now as they advertise dna tests so widely.
I hope you find the results you are looking for Smile

Agree Ancestry - the most widely used by Europeans. Once you have your autosomal test results from them, you can download the raw data and then upload that to GedMatch, Famil Tree DNA and My Heritage.

I’ve got ancestry, but uploaded my DNA to GedMatch and also my Heritage. The side of the family (Irish) I really wanted to explore I had more luck on my heritage :)
