Apparently not everybody will get their results updated at the exact same time.

Ahh okay, thank you.

Mine hasn't changed much - Norway has gone up from 7 to 9% (I still don't know why it's there at all), Wales down from 5 to 3%, Ireland up from 4 to 5%, Scotland up from 1 to 2%, Germanic Europe was 2% and has gone now. My Dad's Germanic Europe percentage has gone up from 1 to 10%! So, still some tweaking to be done, I would say.

My father's side of the family is still represented far more than my mother's.
The DNA seems to be concentrated on Scotland and Yorkshire.
Very little representation of my southern roots at all, which accounts for well over 60 % of my ancestry. My father's paternal family came from Wiltshire.

I have gained about 15% of Sweden/Denmark and lost a chunk of England/Northwestern Europe while my sister's are the reverse she is now 20% more England/N.W.Europe than me and has lost the 17% Sweden/Denmark that she had before!

My Jewish percentage stayed the same and from the same region whereas my sister lost 2% to make it the same as mine but hers is now broken down into two smaller ethnic communities - Central Europe and North Western Europe.

Still to be taken with a large pinch of salt!

Best Mate's Scottish ancestry has gone from 36% to 6%. Which sounds about right, given there are no self evident Scots post 1837.

I am beginning to think some of my elusive English ancestors were actually Scottish its creeping up, although I suppose its whoever's DNA is on their database. Lots of Scots went to NZ, Australia and Canada and a lot of my Scottish matches are in those 3 countries and people from these countries tend to test more I think.

I can't get onto DNA matches now and I'm getting this message:

"Our backend services are overtaxed at the moment and we are unable to retrieve all your matches. We apologize for the inconvenience, please try again later."
