Ancestry DNA 2024 UPDATE!

[Graham]

Has anyone else lost a subregion? my Northern Isles subregion has disappeared, so much for the strong connection.

You would have thought this is what Beta testing is for. They'd be wise to get advice from those that know their countries.

For example the Highlands listed, includes like 99% of the population of Lowland East coast Scotland going by how it is highlighted. This is basically just "scotland". The other parts are borders or areas of higher Irish input

Perhaps they could label it different or show where its mostly concentrated. Otherwise i just see error.

I don't know what lowland Scotland shows.

Summarizing the whole Ancestry update in one comparison, these are the updated results for me and for my family:



Overall our updated results are definitely better, however my dad's results are a bit questionable, because originally the bigger Balkan in my and my sister's results originally came from my father (from my paternal grandfather to be more exact).

I got some Cornish as I predicted

Changed again, glitchy regions left

Dang you did lose a lot ): this update did not do you justice at all! I finally got a European genetic group myself and they just removed it grrr. I also still have my partially incorrect French Canadian genetic group (completely wrong region) with no new additions ):. Very unhappy with Ancestry and the poor detail, still even though the accuracy was a bit better for me this time around. Tbh I don't see Ancestry doing any phenomenal updates anymore.

Can somebody explain to me, why Hungary is literally the ONLY country, who doesn't have a subregion!?!?! I mean look at these maps:
I can wait for the subregion, meanwhile we don't even have one lmfao.

The truth is that Ancestry has a poor database for Central and Eastern Europe. They simply don't have enough data. No subregion is highlighted for my kit.

Ancestry rolled out their update today and I've received the updated results.

This is what my results look like:


My previous Eastern Europe and Russia % is now 77% Central & Eastern Europe, I got +3% Balkan, I lost 2% German, 1% Baltic and my Greek %, but I got a new ethnicity, Southern Italy! The new results are quite accurate for me.

What does your updated result look like? Are you satisfied with the new result?

I think mine is the best so far and most accurate given my known background.

Swedish 50%
French 38%
Insular mix 12%

Your results are quite similiar to my mom's results! She has 90% Central&Eastern Europe, 8% German and 2% Balkan.

What's your "Insular mix"? English/Scottish/Welsh or Irish? Or Cornwall?
