He is a Magyar, but he could have Polish ancestor, because his surname is more common in Poland than Hungary.Quote:

While ancestry / population testing is fun,
some people take it too seriously.
Even the big 3 or 4 companies have ways to go and may never be accurate.
Plus with varying geographic areas/populations the results will change per company and varies between all the tests.
What were your results?Quote:

Have not tried ancestry.com though it seems interesting.
The truth is people deny the accuracy of DNA tests because of cultural Dogma and feelings of purity. So the results will always be disputed. That being said it will always be refined the more people test and the larger sample sizes grow so to will the results reflect increased accuracy.Quote:

How can you see your genetic community? Mine seems to be gone nowQuote:

Could explain why majority of yours goes into Europe East. If they included lets say Serbs into Balkan component, I imagine that would climb for you and East Euro drop.Quote:

If Serbs were included in the component the results would obviously change. So its not actually incorrect for you. The algorithm will always find the best fit. My mom for instance gets Macedonian in some calculators because she has a Montenegrin grandmother. But shes not as comparable to Montenegrins given she has more of a southern shift. However, because of a slight northern shift shes more comparable to the Macedonian reference as they are more southern shifted than other South Slavs. Like an intermediate if you will. Same thing for MyHeritage. Albanians aren't part of the Balkan reference so score decent to low amounts as opposed to 23andme of which they are included.Quote:

So for me it was too broad. My mother however has "NE Italy/Croatia/Bosnia and Herzegovina" possibly because its more pinpointed through her Montenegrin ancestry from her grandmother.Quote:

My east euro was 63% before this anyway. I’ve seen higher % in other south slavs. This update uses more samplesQuote:

your correct lol. my ancestryDNA results have changed quite a bit, from pred. ghanaian and congolese it went to pred. benin/togo, congo, lesser ghanaian, 1-4% nigerian, and 1-3% east african. and they still give me 55-57% british, despite the fact that its virtually impossible that i am more than half british.Quote:

all percentages except for my african and amerindian are to on a minimum of 0% so im not even gonna consider my european percentages beside my 55-57%.
I read somewhere that even though we inherit 50/50 from mother and father, that we can reflect more of one ancestry compared to another. There was a video about this with a mother and father whom both tested themselves and their children. The child who looked more like the father inherited more of his ancestry as compared to his sibling whom was more like the mother. random selection and all. So despite someone being 50/50 Italian-Irish they may reflect predominantly Italian ancestry if they look more like the Italian parent etc.Quote:

they are improving dou imo
Have you tested your mother? Perhaps she has a small percentage of British that was picked up and included on top of what you inherited from your father? Or perhaps the genes associated with your father you inherited were more reflected sometimes even subtly in your overall look?Quote:

Nope, some people say i even look 0% european, now that's something to consider XD eitherway no, i never had time to test my mum. And no, their european is part dutch, however i inherited more SSA/Berber from my mom's side and less european i think, or either my dad's side is less than 100% european. would make sense why i am 53-60% european then, since i have a great grandfather or great great grandfather that was a 100% dutch surinamer. so i probably inherited only 5-8% european from my mom's side.Quote:

Can anybody link how you can do the upload of your data. I dont see it
I’m not sure you can for ancestry. If you mean to upload another company raw data to ancestry that is.Quote:

Now when I go to see updated result it comes with a message

Still Processing Results
Ancestry is committed to making it easier for people to discover where and who they come from. We are excited to share your new, more precise results, calculated using an updated algorithm. We are working on this as quickly as possible and will let you know as soon as your results are ready.
Yeah I have the same message now, I hope this means an actual update.Quote:

based. everything else went btw
but its not a new thing lool....what r u talking about
Still no update for me, but for about the past week I have been getting errors for Ancestry's DNA page and the pages do not load or it will load fine but no update.
Still no update.
I did find this information:
Ethnicity Updates
Latest
AncestryDNA first launched in 2012 with 22 possible regions. Since then we've added new regions and improved our accuracy. DNA research is a fast paced, rapidly expanding field, and you can expect to see additional updates as DNA science evolves.
Current Version (Jul 2014)
3,000 Reference Samples
363 Total Regions
Mine has changed quite a bit and seems a lot more in line with my known ancestry now. My known ancestry is I’m a full southern Italian/Sicilian. My original results listed me as 73% Italian/Greek, 13% middle eastern, 10% Caucasus, 1% Spanish, <1% of North African, European Jewish, British. Now my ancestry is 92% Italian, 8% Turkey and Caucasus. My guess is a lot of what they classify as Italian is hiding the middle eastern genes. All in all it I’m happy for the update and just confirms What I’ve always known. Lol.

How long did it take until your ancestry.com admixture estimations were updated the way the original poster wrote about?Quote:

I have done genealogy for both my parents, grandparents on both sides of the family, and gone back many generations in what are now modern day European countries-in most cases I was able to find records from long before they are the modern day unified countries they are today; but I have been learning about my family's ancestry and doing basic genealogy since I was very young.
Does anyone know when Ancestry.com/s DNA estimates officially update?
Weird. I'm 1/8 Sicilian, but I only get 1% Italian on the new test. My 1/4 mom gets 8%.Quote:
