I accepted the update of my DNA Ethnicity last week to find quite a change.

Then I log in today and find that there is yet another Ethnicity update.

It sort of screwed me up as I had just finished putting a presentation together for our online Zoom Family History Group meeting that is occuring tomorrow afternoon.

The blurb that Ancestry has on the Ethnicity updates does make interesting reading but I think I will still take it as a very rough approximation.

Just how my Mancunian Wife is 35% Scottish is another matter despite 1/4 of her Ancestors being from Dorset and 1/8 from East Anglia the remaining others being Manchester/Bradford/Leeds

I am 3% Scottish but my family is 1/4 Wales/Herefordshire and the remainder Cheshire/North Lancs and West Yorkshire and yet I am 20% Irish
