I realise they can't know who is mother and who is father so it is random and the only way is to work it out but that may be difficult for some.

I did notice on mine that I inherited more DNA from my father which is obvious to me already so I know he is Parent 1 but my cousin seems to have Parent 2 as father because of her inherited DNA which is mostly English on her father's side because he has more English how accurate that will turn out to be I don't know. Also my Scottish/Irish DNA is way higher than I ever expected when I had a DNA test but they have Parent 2 my mother with 17% which I cannot fathom and probably accounts for my Scottish DNA being very high! It has prompted me to go back and have a look at her ancestors! |

Until they abandon their notion of Scottishness, and do area grouping for each parent, I won't have a clue as to which parent is which. Mum is 50% East Anglian. DNA follows the paper trail. So she ought to have some degree of East Anglian roots to pass on to me.

The English side seems widespread they originally had the East Coast region but seem to have abandoned that. |

I can work out on my daughters results which is me and which is their dad by comparing it to mine. OH parent 1 and me parent 2. Don’t have a clue on mine.
Emma has 1% Greek or Albanian.

My daughters between then have Northern Italy, France and Albania or Greece. That adds up to 16%. Must be connected to their great grandfather Peter Henry Harrison. I recall my father in law telling me that when his dad worked down the pit they called him ‘the little Italian’. He hated it. I reckon there’s some truth in it with his ancestry.

Was Peter Henry Harrison born as Pietro or Petrus? These are the Italian and Latin names for Peter. I'm probably clutching at straws, but as you have had such trouble finding him I thought I'd look at RC baptisms. I haven't found anyone likely to be him. although I did get rather excited over one man, only to find he married someone in 1911. However, if he had Italian ancestry, RC records could well be worth looking at. |

He doesn’t appear to be on the 1891 or 1901 census although born in 1885. His children were brought up Methodist
