Very interesting. My DNA is a result of the specific region my family is from, both parents from the same town on the north coast of Sicily. 88% southern Italy and east Mediterranean, Greece, Cypress, Crete, Northern Macedonia, and Albania. Smaller percentages of northern Italy, Malta, and Spain which doesn't surprise me since Sicily was part of the Greeks world historically and a land of many conquests. What a mystery to me is they found 1% Scottish.
If you click on the region for the Scottish it opens up further information. There you'll see your 1% but there is also a range.. Which likely is 0% - some number. That is your range.. So it could be 0% which then might go away next time it's updated or it may get larger. This is your ancient DNA so it's likely out of the realm of your genealogy. Happy hunting.
With me it was the opposite: I went from having 8 regions to just 3. Before (2023): - Portugal: 47% - Spain: 26% - France: 11% - England & NW Europe: 6% - Basque: 5% - N Italy: 3% - N Africa: 1% - Sardinia: 1% Now: - Spain: 51% [range: 44%-65%] - Portugal: 48% [range: 32%-51%] - Basque: 1% [range: 0%-4%] It must be said, these new results are much more in line with my known family tree.
The Slavic core of my DNA combined went from 92 to 95%, and like past updates my low confidence regions continue to migrate around the perimeter of the Slavic counties where I know my family came from.
My England and Norrthwest Europe went from 74% to 80%,Wales went from 13 to 2%,Sweden and Denmark went 2 to 0% and Germanic Europe from 0 to 5%.Ireland went from 3 to 8%.Don't know where the Germanic link is yet.
i really despise the autosomal tests. they are not accurate in any way. they were invented because MT-DNA doesn't tell you squat. and they needed something women would buy.
Sorry I can't agree on that one. Autosomal DNA is the best test for identifying unknown ancestors. mtDNA is only helpful if you have a theory that you connect with someone on each of your maternal lines. Y-DNA helps to identify the possible surname you're looking for. Autosomal DNA will help you with all your family lines. But it requires genealogy.
@@familyhistoryhound The ethnicity percentages breakdown, by themselves, are not that relevant in many cases. The really important thing is matches, which, of course, are derived from analysing one's autosomal DNA. Y-DNA may help identifying a possible surname in situations where surnames are consistently passed from men to their offspring, which is not a given.
I'm not tall at all. Some races are taller than others, but height is a complex trait that is influenced by a combination of genetics and environmental factors.

My Irish dropped from 22% to 16% while my sister increased to 33%
What ethnicity percentage did you pick up?
Being able to decipher which ethnicity came from which parent is a game changer 🤯especially when you don’t have a lot of oral family history
Yes it can help you with your research especially if either of your family had some unique group. Happy hunting.

@@familyhistoryhound Makes sense, Thanks for the info.
Your welcome
With me it was the opposite: I went from having 8 regions to just 3.
Before (2023):
- Portugal: 47%
- Spain: 26%
- France: 11%
- England & NW Europe: 6%
- Basque: 5%
- N Italy: 3%
- N Africa: 1%
- Sardinia: 1%
Now:
- Spain: 51% [range: 44%-65%]
- Portugal: 48% [range: 32%-51%]
- Basque: 1% [range: 0%-4%]
It must be said, these new results are much more in line with my known family tree.

It's great when it confirms your personal knowledge.
My England and Norrthwest Europe went from 74% to 80%,Wales went from 13 to 2%,Sweden and Denmark went 2 to 0% and Germanic Europe from 0 to 5%.Ireland went from 3 to 8%.Don't know where the Germanic link is yet.
Keep searching you may find it.. but it can be many generations back.. much further than your genealogy may go. Happy hunting.
I noticed that my Scottish ancestry percentage dropped from 33% to 11%, while my French ancestry percentage increased correspondingly
Did that make more sense for your genealogy research?
@@familyhistoryhound same really
Me too, my French went up and Scot down and now 4% Spanish and all my Norwegian is gone but now 5% Denmark.
My Scots ancestry went from 64% to 48%. These new percentages are so wrong on both sides of my family.
@@sylviagibson4639 Have you upload your DNA to other sites like MyHeritage or Family Tree DNA? How do your estimates compare?

Just Curious, How Tall Are You?, because I Hard That Dutch People Can Be very very very Tall For Real.

11% Irish went to 0%, Scots went from 0% to 16%.
Did that make more or less sense compared to your genealogy. Your ethnicity is your more distant ancestral past. So 500-1000 years
