Thread: Ancestry.com DNA tests

Per the news that Ancestry updated its ethnicity estimate system last week I will post my old and then new results...


These were my original results:

  These are regions where you seem to have just a trace amount of genetic ethnicity — there is only a small amount of evidence supporting the regions as part of your genetic ethnicity. Because both the estimated amount and the range of the estimate are small, it is possible that these regions appear by chance and are not actually part of your genetic ethnicity.

• Finland/Northwest Russia 2%
• Great Britain 1%

...and these are the new results:

Updated Estimate
Eastern Europe and Russia 75%

Give them another 2 years and they may change it again.

My buddy had his done and said he is 2% Jewish. I told him “no more bacon for you”. He wants his money back.

If we go back far enough, we are all related.

Killjoy is back! I'm still not going to have my ancestry done. I work with a Genome Scientist and I asked point blank about these tests. He says it's no way sensitive enough to detect with much accuracy. Considering privacy concerns, it's not worth it to put my genes out there!

I’m in total agreement. Besides, I have my family tree of my last name to the 1660’s Boston area. I’m English from my dad’s side and my mom is 100% German.

Fuego...Romans...Bookie...and the others, I wanna see your new results!

Mine changed a bit...

Most notable was the 1% Native American - Previously, it showed no Native American connections - Guess my Uncle was right after all?

... And the increase in my "European" roots - It went from 8% England/Ireland/Scotland/Wales to 20% plus, an additional 1% German and 1% Sweden - Which didn't surprise me either, because my paternal grandfather looked like an older German man in the rare pictures I've seen of him.

My mother popped up after the update with <1% Native American after not having none before.

Do it!

There was a few surprises - my father's family heritage does not prove out in the DNA. When my husband did it, the DNA did not prove out the family stories of their DNA, either, but he has Hungarian and Czech. That was a surprise! So, I'd say, do it!

Lol... I did do it, scroll up a bit. It pretty much showed I'm a thoroughbred.
