In my case it doesn't identify migrations until now but It's improving a lot!

Here's my parent's updated results...interesting how my mother's only changed by 1%, gaining 1% in Irish, but my father's changed pretty big, going from 76% England, 14% Ireland/Scotland, and 10% Germanic Europe to what is below, which does perhaps seem more in line with his actual ancestry:

It looks like they goofed your result too, but not as badly as mine, at least you still get some balkan percentage. You should be closer to half balkan, why are they putting Karelians and Romanians in the same category?

Nice to know they still can't distinguish English people from Southern French people, yet can distinguish every single indistinguishable Northern European population I'm apparently descended from. Oh and some noise Jew and Black percentages too for good measure. Waste of money.

Where is your Levantine from then?

Likely Northern Syria, but its very distant and not most definitely _not_ Ashkenazim.

Yeah, my sister seems to have better results compared to me. AncestryDNA calls Romania Eastern Europe, 23andMe calls it Balkan

I don't understand what the people at Ancestry were thinking. I find 23andme closer too, actually, but it took them a while to get something closer to accurate. I have my issues with them but at least it gets most of my regions correct, with some Irish and Swiss thrown in for some reason.

Is that part of your known family history? I think Ancestry is good for regions.

I meant to say I never get any regions in Europe, that is accurate.

True American stock. I like it. This is my dirty Irish Catholic urban dweller regions in the US

Cool it can tell it apart though. I have had my migrations since I first tested. 99% of my family has been here since the 1600's-mid 1800's I don't have any really recent immigration that I know of, I think my dads mom was adopted but I think she was adopted by a family member so her origins are still her origins and fairly generic.

Neither your SSA or Jewish is noise.

They can detect something that distant, but have trouble telling apart NW and SW Europeans. Weird.

6-7 Generations back. And these 2 groups are much more distinct than different West Europeans.

Nordics and Irish are even less distinct and it still estimates those (despite the fact I have no known ancestry from Scandinavia).

It's as consistent as you are with difficulty. You're able to answer more easy questions correctly than hard ones, but you also answer some easy ones incorrectly. The SSA is almost surely not noise.

You can always check your GEDmatch to see if there is a consistent SSA percentage. For example Dodecad World9 and MDLP World (not K23b). If you are a colonial i.e. ethnic American, I wouldn't be surprised to see one or two percent black.

It is because they are compared to a smaller area and have more definitive population panels. The problem though is that they are over-fitted so that other populations get those categories without having any ancestry from those populations.
