Dad's and mine are easy to determine which parent is which due to the Indian DNA but OH
not so easy and his suspected Hugenot's are not showing up. We need more French people to test.

I can though because my father was Scottish he was born in Glasgow and has a quite a few Irish ancestors through two of his lines in amongst his Scottish ancestors right back to the 1730s. My mum has a few Scandinavian ancestors way back and all my English connections on my mother's side especially close cousins have shown up with Norwegian DNA.

In my results Mum has a small percentage of Welsh and Scots ethnicity and Dad has none.
In my sister's results it's reversed! I have never found any Welsh ancestors but with a Jones brick wall in 1800 it's perfectly possible that there are some on the paternal line.

Mine seem mostly correct, however they have said the my 1% North Philippine is on parent 2 (who I know is my mother)and not on Parent 1, with all the rest of my South Asian (Southern China, Vietnamese and Southern Philippines) Heritage. Like other people they have also assigned her with Scottish and Swedish/Danish percentages, when I have not found anything but English. However as one brick wall comes from Yorkshire, there is a possibility that this could be where they come in.

I also have no proven Welsh ancestors, but I do have a Shropshire line that's creeping closer and closer to the Welsh border the further back I go

I can't spot cousin's german heritage on either side. Tis will only be more useful when they attribute DNA matches to parent 1 or 2. Unless, of course, you have cousin marriages. I've already for several single segment matces where Ancestry alone cannot tell wic group of common ancestors we are looking at.

They already mark some DNA matches as Father's side or Mother's side.

Yes, but that's different: that's you telling them: either specifically, or by having your parents' DNA tested. This is presumably Parent 1, Parent 2.

So, do we think parents 1 is father and parent 2 is mother?

I don't see how we can. If Ancestry knew, then surely they'd say? They might be able to tell if you were a man, but not if you are a woman.

You are not assuming, you are working it out.

No. For my Dad parent 1 is his mother, parent 2 is his father. My paternal Grandfather has Indian heritage so it is easy to determine with parent is which. Without that I wouldn't know.
