Ancestry's Origins

 


According to Ancestry's Blog, their Ancestral Origins, which details the regions that a tester's DNA comes from, will be updated soon. It means that those of us who have done a DNA test at Ancestry will likely have their ancestral regions changed once again. It also gives me hope that there may be a correction to my own regions.

As I complained earlier in one of my posts, Ancestry added Cornwall origins to my regions with the last update (I have yet to find anyone from Cornwall in my family tree) but at the same time they demoted my Irish region to 1%. My son also tested his DNA at Ancestry with a much larger result in the Ireland regions, 7% of which was received from me. How can this be when I only have 1% to give? The math boggles my mind. I'm hoping for more clarity with the new update but we shall see.
