Think of all those Ancestry trees and their accuracy. Ethnicity is only a toy. Choose another provider, with a different database, and the results will be quite different.
If you drill down into the results, they give a range of certainty. I allegedly have 10% Scottish (not supported by the paper trail back to 1800) But the range is 0 - 29%
My marginal ethnicities have fluctuated wildly from year to year: Spanish, French, Swedish and now Welsh. Hopefully it proves more accurate over time, but it does depend on the accuracy of underlying research.
