    Default All of My Tests Have Updated

    All of my AncestryDNA kits have updated—my kit, my parents' kits, and my grandparents' kits (one of them is actually just my grandfather's twin, but that's as close as I'll ever get to receiving his DNA results. Although I still think 23andMe's estimates are better, Ancestry's results seem to be heading in the right direction.

    Here is the comparison:

    Me
    - 54% England, Wales & Northwestern Europe
    - 16% Ireland & Scotland
    - 10% Sweden
    - 5% Germanic Europe
    - 5% Norway (4 genetic communities)
    - 4% Eastern Europe & Russia
    - 4% France
    - 1% Baltics
    - 1% Portugal
    - 4 Southern states genetic communities

    My Dad
    - 73% England, Wales & Northwestern Europe
    - 27% Ireland & Scotland
    - 0 genetic communities
    My Paternal Grandfather
    - 73% England, Wales & Northwestern Europe
    - 12% Ireland & Scotland
    - 11% Germanic Europe
    - 2% Sweden
    - 1% Norway
    - 1% Portugal
    - 3 southern states genetic communities
    My Paternal Grandmother
    - 73% England, Wales & Northwestern Europe
    - 27% Ireland & Scotland
    - 2 southern states genetic communities

    My mom
    - 30% Norway (4 genetic communities)
    - 25% England, Wales & Northwestern Europe
    - 20% Germanic Europe
    - 10% Eastern Europe & Russia
    - 8% Ireland & Scotland
    - 6% Sweden
    - 1% Baltics
    - 1 Pennsylvania genetic community
    My Maternal Grandfather's Twin
    - 52% Norway (4 genetic communities)
    - 25% Sweden
    - 21% England, Wales & Northwestern Europe
    - 2% Ireland & Scotland
    - 1 Pennsylvania genetic community
    My Maternal Grandmother
    - 34% Eastern Europe & Russia
    - 30% Germanic Europe
    - 18% Ireland & Scotland
    - 13% England, Wales & Northwestern Europe
    - 3% Baltics
    - 2% France
    - 2 Canada genetic communities

    What is clear is that we cannot take these categories too literally- there is some inconsistency in the specific patterns of inheritance here. Example: Your grandfather scores Portugal, your dad does not, but you do. Clearly you inherited this ancestry from you dad

    But if we just look at this more broadly, the gist seems to be correct.

    I agree with you, 23andMe is better.

    I agree, especially because I think some of my categories are a bit off

    My maternal grandmother is from the U.S. Her father is from Croatia, and her mother is the daughter of a Scottish immigrant and an Irish U.S. citizen (whose family went from Ireland to Canada, and then from Canada to the U.S.).

    I thought she wanted to see my results. Either way, I just want to which admixture results she would like to see. There are a ton of tests.

    Do you have your 1/2 Croatian grandmother on Gedmatch?

    I imagine Feiichy would like to see her Eurogenes K13, K15, among other tests..
