My aunt said i have some hungarian ancestry via a great grandfather, so maybe. But maybe she just talked bs.

It’s hard to understand how my abt. 40% proto Slavic (in common calculations) becomes inflated as 57% Baltics and Central & Eastern Europe in sum while my wife’s abt. 29% proto Slavic (in common calculations) becomes dwarfed to 9% Baltics and Central & Eastern Europe in sum.
Does my (not applicable) 10% Sweden represent a "Germanic concentrate" that would be a notably bigger percentage - say 20% - if it would be expressed as Germanic Europe? :icon_ask:
They're slowly turning me Scottish. Also looks like the Channel islands is the "new thing". Strong associations...

I think you are exaggerating. I know the genealogy of my family very well and from my experience those small % have no confirmation. With 0.1% it is always possible to speculate though that it is from that ancestor you can't find from 500-1000 years ago. ;) Oh, I would love to find my Papuan ancestors. :D
That's just false and Poles, Belarusians and Ukrainians get minor Ashkenazi regularly because of Pale of settlement and admix of Christianised Jews (obviously in small number hence admixture is in trace amounts) into society.
I saw tons of South Slavic 23andme results and almost nobody gets Jewish while northern Slavs do.
23andme has it refined to such level it can detect even below 1%. And if Mortimer gets that, a community and Ancestry shows the same than it is no mistake. We also have one part Lithuanian member here who scores 1/8 or 1/16 Jewish (I forgot) and he pretends that is "false" because his muh peper trail doesn't show it.
I have no problem having jewish, but with 1% im 1/64 or even less like 1/128. 1/8 is a bit more, mine doesnt affect me at all, nor do i know any jewish ancestor. but i think its cool, i mean im 52% roma, why would 1% jewish bother me? Roma are seen as less reputable then jews.
85% Central/Eastern Europe
6% Baltics
4% Germanic
4% Russia
1% Ashkenazi
For me improvement.
I've become way more Spanish. 63% Spanish and 37% Portuguese. Is is because my family are from the border with Spain? Also, on the hack results I got 0.26% Mali instead of Senegal.

Mine has hardly any change. I just lost 1% Wales

Daughter's result. Her Ireland percentage is the same as previously but she has gained 3% extra for Scotland, lost 3% of England and 1% of Wales and has gained 1% Iceland.

Brother's result. He lost 4% Scotland and now has 4% England and 1% Wales

First Cousin's result. He had just Ireland and Scotland before but now has gained England, Denmark and Norway. His result is of course on the right and mine on the left.

I think dna tests are good at getting your ethnicity on the whole but some of the smaller amounts will obviously change if they do some adjustments and you have to allow for overlap with neighbouring populations. This will all depend on their population panels and how well you match that panel.
From reading on Reddit it appears that Scotland is all over the place. People have either lost huge amounts of it and others have gained it. Others losing Irish in their results and gaining England. Also people from Northern Ireland getting large amounts of Ireland and losing a lot of Scotland. I don't think they will ever be able to get these areas correct especially for people that have ancestry from all those places. People are saying the Germanic Europe is better but the Irish/Scottish/English results are a bit all over the place. Also people losing Italian and getting Iberian instead. It seems French has gone up in a lot of people's results which is most probably good because it was under reported previously. More people are getting Germanic Europe which would seem to be an improvement as this was also under reported previously. Some people saying their Scandinavian has gone to Netherlands or Germanic Europe.
I think it is impossible to get all these results correct for everyone.
Can't wait to test myself this new update looks pretty good :p
To be honest a lot of people are complaining but I don't think it's possible to get it correct especially for Americans who have mixed ancestry. Even people from one ethnicity get results which don't match their paper trail. Both my brother and daughter don't have any English that I'm aware of. There is possible Scottish. Also 1% Iceland from my daughter is obviously just noise. My first cousin as well has no known English, Danish or Norwegian but is half from Dublin and I think it is just overlap with populations that can change with updates.
Anyway I'd love to see your result because you do have some ancestry other than Spanish. It will be interesting if they pick those up.
One fun thing about Ancestry is that they update pretty much every year. :)
There is something that i really want to do with Ancestry and is their raw data, i've heard that is one of the bests, so maybe i'll do my G25 again and finally with it i can know my mtdna too :D
I have some distant relatives that tested with AncestryDNA, so i'm hoping to find new interesting coincidences there too :o
Ancestry also has the trees and records as well if you pay for it. I do but don't spend much time on my tree which I really need to start doing otherwise I'm just wasting money. With the trees that people have and that have tested they connect you with relatives through dna. It is called Thru lines and can pinpoint you to finding ancestors that you have brick walls for. I have to check a few of those to see if I can connect them to my family tree.
I got kinda weird subregions, but at least they got a bit better at labelling Germanic Europe from the rest of NW Europe

Also they added a bunch of Nordic countries to my results like Iceland, Denmark, Norway, etc. that are probably just Swedish
23andMe is still better for my family and I, for both the countries and subregions

1% Levant? Where does that come from? Lol
Here is my sister's result, similar to mine:
https://i.imgur.com/AoUsaZH.png
100% Central & Eastern Europe (lost 3% of Baltics compared to the last year update).

In case of 23andMe and the Ashkenazi Jewish (AJ) component it's not exaggerated. When there would be shown 0.1% there can be made a question mark but when 0.2% or more AJ is shown at 23andMe then it can be considered applicable, except for when it is Sephard-mediated. Full Sephards score roughly 15% AJ, likely because of some old commonality.
Here's mine.
I really liked the changes, it sounds very accurate.
The only doubt I have is they removed completely "France", and I am sure I have roots in Aquitaine, but may be they consider them in the "basque spectrum", who knows...
The other doubt I have, is I don't have only an "ancestral region", which is in northeastern Spain and Southwestern France, but what I don't have is "migrations" outside of the Old World... but if I see the side of the page "parent 1" and "parent 2" there appear many migration routes, but it's ok, I am not going to spoil this thread... may be I will do another one. Cheers. In general aspects I liked the changes. :thumb001:
