That makes no sense in my opinion. Russians who take the test would get confused when they see they're like 50 percent Russian and 50 percent other things.Quote:

I've gone up to 2% NA :(

I apparently have a 'strong connection' with it too. I like Jersey caramels...Quote:

Ancestry just changed the name of Southern Italy, now it says: Southern Italy & the Eastern Mediterranean. Weird change tbh...

Came here to mention this. A bit silly imoQuote:

So I'm surprised that the update was not released with this new name already in place, as the admixture map for the region clearly shows the East Med affinity.
I think on balance it was better how Ancestry handled this issue in the previous version, with the Southern Italians showing the East Med/West Asian admixture. This new change is probably going to lead to a lot of confusion.
Has anyone else lost a subregion? my Northern Isles subregion has disappeared, so much for the strong connection.
