Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: DNA

Interesting - thanks for sharing.
On basis of paper historic records I have only 1/8 CI ancestry (and 1/2 of that goes back to Dorset originally), plus 1/8 Irish, everything else seems to be England.
On the basis of my looks and family medical history I'd have predicted I inherited more dominant CI genes than anything else.
My AncestryDNA results showed 95% GB, 4% Irish and 1% Iberian Peninsula.
I assume the latter would be more likely to be from the CI component because the Iberian Peninsular area stretches into Northern France - or from Portugeuse agricultural workers perhaps.
Sadly so far I've not found any CI links via AncestryDNA at all - other than spotting a couple of possible French-sounding names in other peoples trees.
