Once More, Ancestry Updates

Once again, Ancestry has updated my results based on a growing data base. They've also added new regions, and broken down some of the previous regions.

Here's the new results:

• • Celtic & Gaelic

    • Donegal, IrelandNew29%
    • Central Scotland & Northern Ireland23%
    • Northern Wales & North West EnglandNew3%
    • Munster, IrelandNew2%

  • England

    • Southeastern England & Northwestern EuropeNew28%
    • West MidlandsNew9%

  • Nordic

    • Iceland3%

  • Western Europe

    • The Netherlands3%
    • 
      

The results last October were:

Ireland (Northern Ireland and - new - Ulster): 41%
England and Northwestern Europe: 38%
Denmark (new) 10%
Scotland: 6%
Iceland (a new region!): 3%
Germanic Europe: 2%

I lose Denmark! But I'm even more Celtic and Gaelic - 47% last year, now 54%/57% - the second figure including Northern Wales and Northwestern England. 

Here are other previous results:

August 2022.


Ireland 42%
England & Northwestern Europe 35%
Scotland 16%
Sweden & Denmark 7%

May 2022

Ireland 39%
England & Northwestern Europe 29%
Scotland 28%
Sweden & Denmark 4%

So now more Irish, English/Western Europe, and Sweden/Denmark, less Scottish. And overall less Celtic.
