Ancestry DNA 2024 UPDATE!

[Beowulf]

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.

I'm already connected to a relative's tree in Ancestry DNA it does works pretty well

I got kinda weird subregions, but at least they got a bit better at labelling Germanic Europe from the rest of NW Europe



Also they added a bunch of Nordic countries to my results like Iceland, Denmark, Norway, etc. that are probably just Swedish
23andMe is still better for my family and I, for both the countries and subregions

1% Levant? Where does that come from? Lol

Here is my sister's result, similar to mine:

[michal3141]

100% Central & Eastern Europe (lost 3% of Baltics compared to the last year update).

Italian Switzerland?!

It's absurd in her case.

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.

In case of 23andMe and the Ashkenazi Jewish (AJ) component it's not exaggerated. When there would be shown 0.1% there can be made a question mark but when 0.2% or more AJ is shown at 23andMe then it can be considered applicable, except for when it is Sephard-mediated. Full Sephards score roughly 15% AJ, likely because of some old commonality.

Here's mine.
I really liked the changes, it sounds very accurate.
The only doubt I have is they removed completely "France", and I am sure I have roots in Aquitaine, but may be they consider them in the "basque spectrum", who knows...

The other doubt I have, is I don't have only an "ancestral region", which is in northeastern Spain and Southwestern France, but what I don't have is "migrations" outside of the Old World... but if I see the side of the page "parent 1" and "parent 2" there appear many migration routes, but it's ok, I am not going to spoil this thread... may be I will do another one. Cheers. In general aspects I liked the changes.
