Ancestry Ethnicity Update
« on: Thursday 09 October 25 04:06 BST (UK) »
I have heard that the Ancestry Ethnicity update might be October 9th. Then I also saw on Ancestry’s instagram that some customers may not get the update until December.

I have access to 21 DNA results and I am the only one not getting the message about the update when I go in to the ORIGINS part of my results., “Coming Soon! Big Updates  are on the way…”

We get that on each of the DNA tests we manage.

Still shows last update as July 2024 on each of them.

Never found it useful for helping me fathom how I link to matches so they can hold mine back forever a far as I'm concerned.

Ancestry’s Ethnicity is odd, completely different results now compared to when we first tested.

Now the 2024 updates reflects my actual Ethnicity pretty well 100%, and that is also how it is with all the other tests we manage.

Odd how some can be widely off the mark.

I am interested in what the 2025 update will show especially for one test we manage where theiR Mother was born in an EU country to unknown parents.

It is 7am in Utah.  No one has pushed the button yet.

I am getting close to midnight on the 9th.

Different timezones.

I must be waiting until December as the message is still not appearing  ??? ???

I got my update a little before noon Eastern time in the US.  I had only checked about 20 times since early this morning.  Mine do seem more fine-tuned.  I'll be interested in exploring further.
