DNA - Origins

[Slow.Patrol]

Just had an update from Ancestry.

Looks like I am more British than the King.



Bit boring really.

To be sure, to be sure, boyo.

It’s actually added some Midlands origins, it was previously 50:50 Welsh and Irish.



Does correspond with known ancestors though.

My heritage is strongly Welsh.

Although it got massively diluted as the males had a habit of marrying English women.

It'd be fascinating to see the king's results to see how narrowly Germanic they'd managed to keep it.

Half German/half Greek?

The Greek lot were mostly German too!

I'm really not sure how Ancestry work this out etc as every time it updates its massively different.

I think I started off being English, Welsh, Danish, Swedish and Norwegian and German. The next update I lost Danish and Gained Irish. My sister had Scottish on hers and we share the same parents.

It's been updated now and I'm English and Welsh only.
