Looks like I got a LOT more DNA from my Dad's Dad (Quebec), than my Dad's Mom (British Isles)...

It's strange to me how Ancestry has Quebec as it's own category when it's likely French + some British Isles.Quote:

I wonder why some people are getting their results broken down into sub-headed categories. Mine aren't.Quote:

The closest full-blooded native individual I've confirmed was born in 1750; she married a Frenchman in Acadia, and they had children. However, there could be more recent contributors that I haven't discovered yet.Quote:

I'm curious what your closest 10 samples are using the modern official scaled set. DM me if you want to share? Or, post them here.Quote:

I'm not gonna post DNA results publicly here anymore sorry, but if anyone is really interested in seeing my Ancestry update you can PM me and read my explanation in my sub for my opinion on it.
Madeira...you wot :picard2:
North Af up to 4% : :picard2:
Not impressed with the update

They got a few subregions right, but the overall %'s were fairly less accurate than before. Was the 23andme update good for you in your own opinion? I'm curious because my opinion on it is very polarized and complicated, I thought it was meh and had odd issues, didn't gain any new genetic groups or location regions either. For me it was a disappointing year for updates.
The 23andMe update was better for me this timeQuote:

That's good! The 23andme update was good for my dad and ok for my grandma and sister, but not too good for me and my mom. Massive inconsistencies between family members though and in parental inheritance, very bummed since the phasing used to work very well pre-update and our results aligned much better before now the parental inheritance and ancestry timeline are almost just a fantasy and shockingly incorrect for a 23andme feature. I've found bugs in the ancestry features as well, they need to fix them ASAP. The results do improve for me quite a bit when I change the confidence from "most likely" to 50% confidence though. I hate the "most likely" confidence trash they use now, it seems too experimental IMO. New interface is bad too imo.Quote:

I wish they also worked on improving their ancestry features too honestly. Also I do not like how they grouped some of the European regions. It seems their samples are not too good either.
I'm beginning to worry about the future of DNA tests a bit.
