My AncestryDNA Results

[calxpal]

My results







Also "hacked" results as a bonus



Also got one community



Feel free to share your thoughts or ask questions, just don't be rude please.

If you're interested in doing the hack I can try and explain how on here.

I also have a thread for my 23andme results as well if you're interested in comparing the two.

I would like to mention that I want to give a reminder that these results are estimates and that AncestryDNA is not necessarily better than all the other tests. I feel like I shouldn't even have to post this but I've had problems recently with people accusing me of lying about my background or hating my Ancestry results because I don't believe they are as accurate as they could be. These results do NOT necessarily mean I don't have Irish Ancestry or that my French Canadian grandfather must not be fully French Canadian. Please do not take these results wwwaayyy to literally.

Like sorry but other people do not know my background better than I do based on ethnicity estimates. I do not have recent Scandinavian ancestry based on these results I know this from my tree and I definitely do have an Irish great grandparent plus other Irish great-great+ grandparents in my tree despite what the results say. And the lack of genetic groups do not discount the fact that I have somewhat recent European ancestry.

This comment is just in general, not directed at anyone specific lol.

Of course I know that multiple factors contribute to this like reference populations, random inheritance, algorithms, and others. And 23andme has It's own flaws as well.

I imagine no ones going to reply to this lol but I just have been frustrated with discussing these results with some people recently.

I did want to say though it seems like a 2023 update is in the works some people have been able to hack their results to 2023 now!

Just change 2022 to 2023. It worked for me, but it doesn't work for everyone

Hello I'll try my best to explain it =)

Go to this URL first: https://www.ancestry.com/dna/origins...s?version=2022


But first get the code which is the long string of number and letters and dashes in the URL on the page where you view your ethnicity estimate, and put it into the "PASTE CODE HERE" section

Once you paste the code in the URL and refresh the page you should see the output

Change the 2022 in the URL to 2023 to try the new hack

If you want to see the full hacked results paste the output from that URL into this website: https://dnplay.github.io/ancestrydna

As a note you need to be logged into your Ancestry.com account for it to work.

It was pretty insignificant :/ My Swedish/Danish category went up in exchange for slightly lower Norwegian. Finnish went up slightly.. I was hoping that they would have figured out the Germanic Europe issue, but they haven't.

Thanks for sharing sorry that it wasn't what you were hoping though! I'm actually hoping more for a new feature or more genetic communities with this update than drastic ethnicity changes.

Same, all my populations are the same, just rounded up or down slightly added 0.10% Nilotic lol

Nice results calxpal, what do you think about the reference populations for Irish/Scottish? It seems to be that they're easily mixed up, do you think it's possible that this is the case here for you? I know I've had variable results from my own ancestry. Currently, my ancestry has me at 1/4 Scottish, which is fairly consistent with my known ancestry. Also despite the fact that 23andMe still calls the group 'British & Irish' yet I don't score any of the genetic groups aside from Belfast which is Northern Ireland.
