Ancestry's Update is In Post Your Updated Results Here

IMO it’s inaccurate for me.

I have no known Scandinavian ancestry. It doesn’t pick up on any French ancestry despite me having known French Canadian ancestors. It barely picks up on any Eastern European ancestry despite known Polish ancestors. The Irish seems accurate, but the English seems to high. Attachment 102150Attachment 102151

Since my first results, they've never given me the appropriate amount. After the first update received I had 1% France, revised from the Europe West group here.

It's a mystery :coffee:

If your French ancestry is from the north (NW in particular, Norman or Breton) than it may be hidden under British, because genetically some nw french are very british like and hard to distinguish from other northwest europeans.

If your ancestry is for example south French and Ancestry failed to pick it up, than I have no idea/explanation.

True Irish! Americans like you must be in the minority.

It looks like Denmark has been moved to the Sweden category, which is definitely more reasonable than England, Wales, & NW Europe.

It should have it's own, if Norway and Sweden do.

I agree. But I don't think they can even tell between Norway and Sweden. People seem to get both, regardless of which country they come from.

Eastern Europe and Russia: 83%
(with lithuania as a community)
Baltics: 16%
England and Northwestern Europe: 1%

What confuses me is the 1% English. Ive never had it before so i guess somethings off with this new update? Im only aware of Russians and Belarusians in my family tree. What do you guys think?

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Most of my recent French ancestors are from Brittany, Normandy, Picardy, and so on.

Jérôme Hamon can tell the difference between Swedish genetics and Danish genetics I bet :
