AncestryDNA Finally Updates Ethnicity Estimates for My Dad

My dad's updated results


AncestryDNA continues to dial in my father's ethnicity estimate, and now it is closer than ever to what his paper trail indicates (half Scandinavian, and part English/Scottish/Irish and German).  It is probably more accurate because they have increased their reference samples from about 3,000 to 16,000 (13,000 more).


The estimate with the information on what it was updated from:

Norway: 64%
Refined from: Scandinavia 33%

Migrations
Western Norway
Hordaland & Rogaland

England, Wales & Northwestern Europe: 16%
Decreased by 46%

Ireland and Scotland: 14%
Increased by 12%

Sweden: 6%
Refined from: Scandinavia 33%



No Longer in Estimate
Europe West 2%
Native American

This update features:

16,000 reference samples (13,000 more)
380 possible regions (17 additional)
