Ancestry changes

[KiwiChris]

Mine has hardly changed, Scotland has gone from 42% to 40% and English from 28% to 30%. I still have 5% Welsh but have no idea who in my tree that might be. They have put it on my mothers side and it is about twice as much as the English on that side, and I know who her two English great grandparents were, one from Lincolnshire and one from Yorkshire. No sign of any Welsh a couple of generations back from them.

I have 2% Wales on my father's side, no idea where it comes from he had Northern Irish and Scottish ancestors way way back, perhaps the Welsh is another celtic connection the same as Ireland and Scotland!

Mine's showing the latest update in July '22; should there be a later one, or is that it?

I think that's it, Mary.

I keep hoping that my smidgeon of Irish ancestry will be re-acknowledged. Meanwhile, I have mysteriously gained some German ethnicity, while my cousin has lost hers.

Me too. And my huge amount of non-existent Scottish ethnicity is still there.

One of my Norfolk ancestors had the surname Daglas. Allegedly a Scots drover who stayed. But with the huge lump of Scots dna attributed to me, an awful lot of Scots must have got friendly with Norfolk girls a very long time ago.

I had an email from Ancestry today, with the heading "Update: One of your ethnicity regions changed to 27%".

Needless to say, none of them shows 27%. One has been reduced to 28%; maybe that's the one they mean.

The date of the update is still July.

My Dad has gained French ethnicity.

OH and Mum are suspected to have French Hugenots but no hint of French for them.

I do like that we can now label our Parent 1 and 2, if we know which is which.
