William, if you prefer ham-fisted fantasy over more accurate but disappointing results at FTDNA, that is your prerogative.  The truth is that Accu-Metrics is a paternity and dog-pedigree testing company that discovered that they could pull in a little extra cash by offering other tests to the unwise.  

The fact is that there is no test out there that could distinguish specifically Mikmaq ancestry, and the fact that Accu-Metrics came up with such a exceedingly specific result is roof that it is garbage.  If the result would have been something like "most likely Algonkian heritage based on haplotype" as for example X is mostly found in that group, but can be found in others as intermarriage between tribes was commonplace, then such would be reasonable, and you could use your known history to confirm it was Mikmaq.

In fact, if you would even have bothered to try to ascertain what Accu-Metrics does, for Native American testing, they state on their own website: "This test determines if your DNA contains the haplotypes that belong to the people of First Nations and Native Americans".  FTDNA does the highest resolution haplotype testing.  They do not mention autosomal testing anywhere.

The post is not necessarily intended for you, but to assist others in making wiser choices for DNA analysis.  Perhaps, you could refrain from posting your misguided and uninformed opinions and advice to others and then it would not be necessary for me to respond to them for the sake of others and I would gladly not do so.

Do not use AccuMetrics for ethnicity testing.  It is very low resolution and mostly wild guessing knowing that most people who test their are looking for their elusive "Indian Princess".  Companies that do much broader testing are Ancestry.com, ftDNA.com, and to a lesser extent 23andMe.com.  You can download your autosomal (as well as y-DNA and mitochondrial results) and use their tools or upload them to third party applications for analysis that are hundreds of times better.
