I received an email from Ancestry earlier this month, which stated that my AncestryDNA results had been updated and were even more precise".
They added that "we're constantly evolving the technology and methods behind AncestryDNA. Using a combination of scientific expertise, the world's largest online consumer DNA database, and millions of family trees linked with DNA results, Ancestry are releasing their most precise DNA update yet".
It now looks like this -
My English side started off at 60%, then reduced to 54% and now stands at 15%.
And finally, mention of Scandinavia / Sweden ethnicity has disappeared and I now see an Irish side to my ancestry, which measures 18% of my DNA.
The Scottish / English results seem very reasonable, given my family tree research, but to date I haven't come across any Irish ancestors. Perhaps they come from further back in time.
Interesting how the science has developed over the past 2 years, and no doubt there will be more updates in the future.
