This is what my update states.

I don't have any breakdown of the England, Wales and NW Europe, but I do have a breakdown of my Scottish region.

The regions of Scotland are accurate as the vast majority of my paper trail ancestry is in Angus/Kincardineshire and Ross & Cromarty.

As for the England, Wales and NW Europe now being higher than my Scottish ancestry; I'm baffled. I have one possible English ancestor born approx 1780. I don't know anything about her parentage, other than in 1841 she stated as being born in England.

Not quite sure what's going on there. There is an unknown 2x great-grandfather who had an illegitimate child (my great-grandmother) in 1883 in Aberdeenshire. A lot of my matches have links to Northern Ireland and names such as Gallacher, O'Neill etc, but cannot place them.

Just surprised the English percentage has now overtaken my Scottish.

EDIT: Why do I not have a region breakdown in the English, Welsh and NW Europe section?

You don’t have a region breakdown because they are not able to match you with a specific community.

I'm currently at 66% English, Welsh and NW Europe and the best breakdown it can give me is that I have some Welsh ancestry (which, as one great grandparent was most definitely Welsh isn't a huge surprise.)

Interesting to see how this latest Ancestry update has affected so many with Swedish ethnicity - I too have lost my 3% Scandinavian and become 50% English.
Strange that on MyHeritage I remain 21% Scandinavian and 79% Irish, Scottish and Welsh and no English !
Thankfully I do appreciate that its only an estimate otherwise I would not know who to support in the Rugby this weekend.
Maybe time will make these estimates more accurate - meanwhile treat it as a bit of fun.

  Well I ve acquired 5% Swedish & 1% Norwegian.I had 4% Norwegian before & I m 4 % more Irish / Scottish.The first results I received were 90% British.
My family name is Irish.3 of my grandparents had Irish descent one had Scottish as well.My other grandparent had celtic from Cornwall & Devon.My latest results are more realistic.With appropiate %  of each .But my original result had west asian . Waiting for another update to see what changes.
But I do admit that my matches are all accurate.I have matches from all four grandparents.
