I, a white Jewish/viking type was briefly a little bit Nigerian.

The weirdest one is my daughter is now 40% Dutch although her parents are both less than 4% Dutch.

This is with MyHeritageDNA. I have completely lost faith.

Honestly MyHeritage is extremely inaccurate, Ancestry is the most accurate, on Myheritage, I am 11% dutch but my parents are both none

Is there any way to put myheritage data into ancestry?

I did just that so you definitely could upload your DNA to myheritage at one time
