Germanic Europe               3 (Refined from: Europe West 8 percent)
Norway                             3 (Refined from: Scandinavia 7 percent)

I think this update correlates more accurately with what we know about her ancestry.

Neither my dad nor I had any update our ethnicity estimates.

  1. So why do mine come back as 80% central Lichtenstein? (Not much of an exaggeration). Interesting.

    1. Does Topsy have a lot of German ancestry? If she is, and that is combined with the minor amount of German/Swiss from Annie Webb Slater's ancestry, it might have tilted the scale in that direction. I'd be interested in what your sibling's DNA results would be :-)
