Ancestry DNA 2024 UPDATE!

Mine:



My wife’s:



It’s hard to understand how my abt. 40% proto Slavic (in common calculations) becomes inflated as 57% Baltics and Central & Eastern Europe in sum while my wife’s abt. 29% proto Slavic (in common calculations) becomes dwarfed to 9% Baltics and Central & Eastern Europe in sum.

Does my (not applicable) 10% Sweden represent a "Germanic concentrate" that would be a notably bigger percentage - say 20% - if it would be expressed as Germanic Europe?

You're just Polish with some additional German admixture, not the other way round . Admit it

Mamusia, she is even more southern than me

Funny how your parent as North Slav even gets Balkan, while me with recent 1/8 Balkan heritage got nothing lol

Indeed, no confirmed Balkan heritage, according to genealogy.

Italian Switzerland?!

From reading on Reddit it appears that Scotland is all over the place. People have either lost huge amounts of it and others have gained it. Others losing Irish in their results and gaining England. Also people from Northern Ireland getting large amounts of Ireland and losing a lot of Scotland. I don't think they will ever be able to get these areas correct especially for people that have ancestry from all those places. People are saying the Germanic Europe is better but the Irish/Scottish/English results are a bit all over the place. Also people losing Italian and getting Iberian instead. It seems French has gone up in a lot of people's results which is most probably good because it was under reported previously. More people are getting Germanic Europe which would seem to be an improvement as this was also under reported previously. Some people saying their Scandinavian has gone to Netherlands or Germanic Europe.

I think it is impossible to get all these results correct for everyone.

Update October 2024

i wonder if this celtic similarity like " wales , ireland , scotland '' that iberians often match on ancestrydna , it would be iron age or some more modern

Can't wait to test myself this new update looks pretty good

To be honest a lot of people are complaining but I don't think it's possible to get it correct especially for Americans who have mixed ancestry. Even people from one ethnicity get results which don't match their paper trail. Both my brother and daughter don't have any English that I'm aware of. There is possible Scottish. Also 1% Iceland from my daughter is obviously just noise. My first cousin as well has no known English, Danish or Norwegian but is half from Dublin and I think it is just overlap with populations that can change with updates.

Anyway I'd love to see your result because you do have some ancestry other than Spanish. It will be interesting if they pick those up.

One fun thing about Ancestry is that they update pretty much every year.

There is something that i really want to do with Ancestry and is their raw data, i've heard that is one of the bests, so maybe i'll do my G25 again and finally with it i can know my mtdna too

I have some distant relatives that tested with AncestryDNA, so i'm hoping to find new interesting coincidences there too

Ancestry also has the trees and records as well if you pay for it. I do but don't spend much time on my tree which I really need to start doing otherwise I'm just wasting money. With the trees that people have and that have tested they connect you with relatives through dna. It is called Thru lines and can pinpoint you to finding ancestors that you have brick walls for. I have to check a few of those to see if I can connect them to my family tree.
