Sweden up to 10% from 7%. Norway up to 9% from 6%.  Still have no known Scandinavian ancestors,  but I believe that there is Viking ancestry in people from the Fen country, where a fair proportion of my forbears came from.

I popped over to My Heritage as I'd forgotten what they'd said I was. Compared with Ancestry,  the English estimate is the same but my Scandinavian is much higher and the Scots/Welsh/Irish is lower!

What was entertaining was the ability on My Heritage to have ones ethnicity introduced via music from the regions. I'd not noticed that before.

Oh! I like that idea, Gadget. In which case I demand my Scottish blood be recognised as I'm one of the few people who actually love the bagpipes (played well!).

I lost my 2% Sweden, Ireland and Scotland decreased by 2%, England, Wales and Northern Europe increased by 1% , and Finland increased by 3% (Finland is now at 74%).  However, when I look at my Family Tree DNA results, the Finnish part is only about 54% with the other regions having higher percentages.

 Donner und Blitzen! I've gained 11% Northern Germany having had no previous indication! I have got two separate ancestral lines with the name Henning which I had assumed came from an English village but am now suspecting originated in Germany. My wife has lost her 2%German and 2% Swedish and gained 2%Norway instead. With a Kirchner in her ancestry I thought I could explain the German bit too!
Whatever next?
A bemused Phil.

My husband is delighted  :)
His has gone from 99% Irish to 100%

I think mine has gone up but I can’t remember what it was  :-\

My 7% Iberian was removed on the first revision - I was sad  :(

I've lost my Norwegian and Swedish, they were 2% and 3% respectively.

Prior to this update my highest percentage was Scottish/Irish broken down to Fife & Angus and Ross & Cromarty. Which was accurate as that's where most of my paper trail is.

After that it was English/Welsh & NW European with no breakdown.

Now I'm 55% English, Welsh, NW European and 45% Scottish/Irish with the same communities.

The vast majority of my ancestors are Scottish.

Having checked my own updates, I'm now 26% Germanic Europe!

Gratified to read that (according to Ancestry) this area is
Known as Das Land der Dichter und Denker (“the land of poets and thinkers”), Germany is home to some of the oldest universities in the world, and this region has a long tradition of producing world-class scientists, inventors, theologians, artists, and composers.

It's a wide area, covering much of Northern Europe

It's spooky, they might have been describing my family -

my Flanders relatives (hairdressers, laundresses, labourers, cigar makers) fit right in  :D
