Ethnicity update coming on AncestryDNA

[Lucas]

Where is Dutch

I never seen Dutch in Ancestry ethnicity estimate Someone has it ever?

[Ford]

Why is it a joke if you are literally balls deep from the Balkans? It seems like they balanced the component, as before it was too Southern.

It's how much the categories are changing that is a joke. Feels like they (or any of the other companies for that matter) have no idea what they're doing.

Nah it labels as NW Europe, but it's a meme, because he claimed to be Dutch.

Try selecting the exact same populations i.e. Ireland, Scotland, England, etc that Ancestry assigned you, then run only those on G25 - see how it splits you.

It's how much the categories are changing that is a joke. Feels like they (or any of the other companies for that matter) have no idea what they're doing.

For a newbie jumping from version to version will be confusing of course, but at least for you they make more sense now.
I've seen a Bulgarian result though, and that one doesn't look so good.

Current :
Greece & the Balkans - 61%
Eastern Europe and Russia -34%
Italy 5%

New:
Balkans 48%
Greece & Albania 35%
Europe NE 6%
Italy South 6%
Italy North 3%
Cyprus 2%

Haha. Just get rid of Norway and you'll be alright.

So Balkan seem south Slavic, explains Ford's results.

It seems fine but they should work on an extra category showing if they can differentiate in the Balkan component which is pre-Slavic and which is Slavic.
