SEPTEMBER 2023 DNA UPDATE

 So that's a year down the line and I've received another DNA update. This seems to have become a regular annual occurrence.

Now, the results summary - 


My Scottish ethnicity is now 82%, up 8% from last year; English is 11%, down 1%; Irish 5%, down 2% and my Norwegian ethnicity has returned to the previous 2%.

Now, my ethnicity inheritance has also been updated , as below -

The main points of note are:-

1. The English inheritance was split 4% / 10% between Parent 1 and Parent 2. Now the split is 4% / 7%.

2. Parent 2 is still providing the 5% Irish ethnicity, and is also giving me the 2% Norwegian ethnicity.

3. For clarification, I have identified that Parent 1 is my mother and Parent 2 my father. I have renamed the columns above, maternal and paternal.

There seem to be changes every time, and I seem to becoming more Scottish with each update.
