Ancestry DNA 2024 UPDATE!

[Feiichy]

I think you are exaggerating. I know the genealogy of my family very well and from my experience those small % have no confirmation. With 0.1% it is always possible to speculate though that it is from that ancestor you can't find from 500-1000 years ago. Oh, I would love to find my Papuan ancestors.

That's just false and Poles, Belarusians and Ukrainians get minor Ashkenazi regularly because of Pale of settlement and admix of Christianised Jews (obviously in small number hence admixture is in trace amounts) into society.

I saw tons of South Slavic 23andme results and almost nobody gets Jewish while northern Slavs do.

23andme has it refined to such level it can detect even below 1%. And if Mortimer gets that, a community and Ancestry shows the same than it is no mistake. We also have one part Lithuanian member here who scores 1/8 or 1/16 Jewish (I forgot) and he pretends that is "false" because his muh peper trail doesn't show it.

I have no problem having jewish, but with 1% im 1/64 or even less like 1/128. 1/8 is a bit more, mine doesnt affect me at all, nor do i know any jewish ancestor. but i think its cool, i mean im 52% roma, why would 1% jewish bother me? Roma are seen as less reputable then jews.

I know, I mean RichmondBread who larps as native American but scores none and has Jewish ancestry instead but he denies it everytime.

85% Central/Eastern Europe
6% Baltics
4% Germanic
4% Russia
1% Ashkenazi

For me improvement.

[ColaGusano]

I've become way more Spanish. 63% Spanish and 37% Portuguese. Is is because my family are from the border with Spain? Also, on the hack results I got 0.26% Mali instead of Senegal.

Mamusia, she is even more southern than me

[Grace O'Malley]

Mine has hardly any change. I just lost 1% Wales





Daughter's result. Her Ireland percentage is the same as previously but she has gained 3% extra for Scotland, lost 3% of England and 1% of Wales and has gained 1% Iceland.



Brother's result. He lost 4% Scotland and now has 4% England and 1% Wales



First Cousin's result. He had just Ireland and Scotland before but now has gained England, Denmark and Norway. His result is of course on the right and mine on the left.



I think dna tests are good at getting your ethnicity on the whole but some of the smaller amounts will obviously change if they do some adjustments and you have to allow for overlap with neighbouring populations. This will all depend on their population panels and how well you match that panel.
