I hear all the time about people testing ethnicity from different companies and getting different results. I’ve heard from a person or two with well documented trees that see some pretty obvious problems in DNA ethnicity results. The fact is, finding “pure” reference individuals upon which to base ethnicity calculations is a challenge. Consequently, ethnicity results are somewhat questionable.
Despite that, I recommend you watch a tear jerking video from Momondo’s latest marketing campaign. In light of recent world events, I found it particularly powerful.
“There would be no such thing as extremism if people knew their heritage.”

I have seen it. I actually watched it twice. it is very moving--and seems genuine. As you say, a timely reminder of waht we share in common.
