Ancestry DNA new feature SideView splits ethnicity by parent + ethnicity update

[Gadget]

This is my ethnicity  distribution. The yellow is Welsh, My mother is Parent 2.

PS - The Irish, Scots and Norwegian would come from my maternal great grandmother

im 66% welsh, id expect more english given the multiple english lines in my tree but i cant explain the scottish link at all

i wonder if its north england ( leeds) family

Why not look at the parental distributions as I show above.

My results have changed again and I have percentages of ethnicity from both  parents who don't even have that ethnicity so how can you tell which parent is which??

[Gadget]

I can because that's what my tree says

I've enjoyed looking at it and comparing with my mother's results and paternal aunt's it all seems to make sense for us

My aunt is 50percent Scottish from one parent and mostly Scottish from parent 2 but a small percentage Irish which I can trace to her maternal great great grandmother .

My own Scottish comes mostly from my father but there is also a small amount from my mother's great grandmother .

We both seem to have gained a bit of Scandinavian too .

It's pretty obvious that Parent 1 (Wales 26%) is my mother's father and Parent 2 (Scotland 27%) is my mother's mother. It is interesting that Parent 2 is the source of the 4% Norway- I seem to recall someone saying that side had blonde hair and blue eyes (I never knew them) and it makes me wonder if my illegitimate 2nd great grandfather's unknown father was responsible for that- probably a mariner.

Does this mean they'll eventually offer a guess about whether a match is on mother's or father's side based on this? It would be interesting to know which matches share the 4% Norwegian, for example...

Norway or Sweden for Brits is usually 'ancient' genes - so if you have an ancestor who was from a very heavily Viking settled area like the east side of Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, Norfolk/Suffolk coasts, or more recently Orkney (given to the King of Scotland in the 15th century) it might be from that.

Have you worked out what percentage (roughly) of English vs Welsh that you should be according to your 32 great great great grandparents etc?
