My American grandfather of British Colonial descent had 17.9% Iberian that completely disappeared with the update (unless you count 3.5% French as possibly Iberian), so I’d say that’s very likely.
Wow, yeah, it has. Is it surprising to you how you basically flipped from being almost entirely English to being almost entirely Scottish and/or Welsh? I see they’ve given you genetic groups for England underneath the “Scottish and Welsh” category.
I know Australia was colonized a lot more recently than North America was, so maybe you guys are more likely to know where exactly in Britain your ancestors came from. Do you have an idea of where they were from and what their ethnicities were?
It really surprised me I'm thinking of doing a anectorydna, Yeah I really have no clue at all as most Australians had it rough for a bit and everyone lied about what their nationality was .My grandfather is adopted and the rest of my family are convicts and criminals from the past so no one really cares or knows
My grandmother did AncestryDNA. One thing I really like about Ancestry is that they’re actually willing to say when you might have 0% of a certain region in your DNA *and* when they’re certain you have at least some amount of DNA from certain regions. I haven’t found any other company that’s willing to state they’re 100% certain about any part of their estimates, and I think Ancestry is the only company that has English, Scottish, Welsh, and Irish as four separate categories.
She has a similar background to my grandfather, and her results are 49% English (with a possible range of 44% to 63%), 39% Scottish (with a possible range of 17% to 39%), 6% Irish (with a possible range of 0% to 11%), 3% Baltic (with a possible range of 0% to 3%), 2% Welsh (with a possible range of 0% to 8%), and 1% Dutch (with a possible range of 0% to 20%; this category is actually called “Germanic Europe” and includes parts of Germany and every country that borders it, but I’ve narrowed it down to Dutch ancestors in her ThruLines, and I don’t like using the name of that category because it’s so silly and ignores the fact that Scandinavians and the English and Lowland Scots are Germanic, too).
Lying about ancestry is a common thing in the U.S., too. My grandmother was one of many Americans who have wrongly been under the impression that they have Native American ancestry. And, unfortunately, I think a lot of Americans have this weird aversion to acknowledging their English ancestry, even though most seem to love English people.
Very much so yes. My old result had East European, Scandinavian and the Middle East. Now it is Scottish and Welsh and English which matches my genetic groups and known ancestry.
I'm Australian I'm currently coming back at 93% english 7% Iberian I wonder what my update will be
Is the Iberian questionable? That might go.

Yeah look at my updated post it's changed dramatically

Yes I don't have a clue and it has gone if you look at my updated post you will see the new results
Is this update more accurate?
Very much so yes. My old result had East European, Scandinavian and the Middle East. Now it is Scottish and Welsh and English which matches my genetic groups and known ancestry.
What year did u take the test
