Ancestry's Update is In Post Your Updated Results Here

[Celestia]

No Scottish surnames in my family tree.
Also not sure where the Swedish came from but I’m assuming it’s Norwegian.

[JamesBond007]

There is going to be some inflated Scots in a lot of people's results as they have some obvious outliers in the Scottish cluster. I think it should be fairly accurate for people from the Isles but some people might get unexpected Scottish.

Yours seems accurate but I'm skeptical about mine unless *gasp* the modern Irish are god forbid celto-germanic rather than just 'celtic'

Me (half English/Irish, probable very minor Welsh)



Mother's (c. 97% English , c. 3% Irish)

[Albannach]

My results are finally in, I am 50% Irish 50% Scottish on paper, so slightly higher Irish than I would have expected, but at least it's an improvement on LivingDNA which has me at 80% Irish I suppose. Still disappointed with my Scottish communities, I should have a couple from the Highlands as well as SW Scotland, but overall the results are not perfect but not far wrong.

[Graham]

There is going to be some inflated Scots in a lot of people's results as they have some obvious outliers in the Scottish cluster. I think it should be fairly accurate for people from the Isles but some people might get unexpected Scottish.

That plot was used as an example of identifying outliers according to its whitepaper.

We visually inspect candidates for removal based on a scatterplot like the one in Figure 2.2. Because
different collections of samples reveal different amounts of population structure, PCA and outlier removal
are repeated for different subsets of data. We first remove outliers at the global level (all samples
together), then at the continental level (e.g., outliers in a PCA using only European samples), then at the
regional level (e.g., outliers in a PCA of all Scandinavian samples), and finally at the population level
(e.g., outliers from a PCA of Norway).

[Grace O'Malley]

That plot was used as an example of identifying outliers according to its whitepaper.

Thank you Graham. That clears up some confusion for a few people.

[Graham]

There ye go.

[Longbowman]

Considering there's no Sephardic option, it's not too bad, I guess. Getting a bit better.

It was 99% European Jewish, 1% Anatolian.

Now it's 97% European Jewish, 2% Middle Eastern, 1% France.

Really, I should get 94% European Jewish, 6% Middle Eastern.

European Jewish has six sub-categories, all Ashkenazi: three are for Litvaks, and I am not Litvak. The other three (Germany/Low Countries, Visograd Group, West Ukraine/Moldova) all apply to me, but I only get West Ukraine, Moldova, and Eastern Romania. 50% of my ancestry comes from Western Ukraine, so, not bad, I suppose.

[RatCat]

Nice update for me.
