Ethnicity Updates on Ancestry

[melba_schmelba]

I have a new match (5-8th cousin)... but the young lady (aged 18-20) only has 10 people in her private tree, so being curious I clicked on her ethnicity 

England & Northwestern Europe 19%
Wales 12%
Sweden and Denmark 2%
Norway 2%
Ivory Coast 15%
Cameroon, Congo & Western Bantu 13%
Benin & Togo 13%
Nigeria 6%
Ireland 4%
Bengal 3%
Mali 3%
Germanic Europe 2%
Jewish 2%
Indigenous Americas - Central 1%
Southern India 1%
Northern India 1%
Senegal 1%

Is this a  "mixed" record!   Her profile photo suggested to me she was probably only looking for her ethnicity heritage I bet she was surprised when she got her results.

BTW she lost me after the first 4 regions   

It looks to me someone who has one west African parent, and one British parent with an Indian great great grandparent, and a more distant Jewish ancestor . It's a lot, but I think I may have seen more of someone of mixed European, indigenous American, Indian (via Trinidad), African (via slavery) ancestry.

Suggestion.

Download your Ancestry Raw DNA file.

There will be no change in your Ancestry DNA results.

Create a free My Heritage account, then upload your Ancestry Raw DNA file and wait for My Heritage to produce its version of your Ethnicity,

Then compare it with your Ancestry Estimate.

Do then come back and tell is what you find.
